You could always try
VNC - Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
I use it every day to keep track of loads of servers and PC's on my network, both on my LAN, WAN and WLAN.
It's quick, FREE and easy to install. PLUS, you can use basically any modern computing environment to view other PC's running the VNC service, heck i've even used a Palm PDA to view a NT box! Heck, even the PC client is only 172k!
If you want an alternative to VNC, that's a little leaner on the bandwidth usage, then there is
TightVNC: An Enhanced VNC Distribution, which is also free.
TightVNC includes the use of a new Tighter encoding scheme and is optimized for slow and medium-speed connections, thus generates much less traffic as compared to traditional VNC encodings. At the same time, TightVNC supports all the standard VNC encodings, so it can operate efficiently over fast networks, too.
Hope this helps.
