HangFire · **Remote control of a PC -** 14-07-2005

Ok so, I might be moving to somewhere with no DSL available. If I do that, I might buy a second PC and use it as a file server and keep it at a place where it can have a DSL line.

So, what options is there for remote control of a PC from another PC?

I know that windows XP has some sort of remote desktop thing, but I really don't trust that right now.

How difficult would this be to set up, and what could be done to keep it as secure as possible?

I'm not asking for step-by-step instructions right now, I'm just entertaining the idea and wondering what the technically-literate group of BU thinks about this.
