$Try Carbon Copy Plus.  I think the latest version is 5.1 or something.
$It will let you pretend you are sitting at the remote PC, and can even
$run things like Flight Simulator!
[...]
$I've used the package extensively and was quite impressed.

   Our company has used several verions of Carbon Copy quite extensively and
have been less than impressed.  We have found it unable to work reliably
above 9600 bps; it can be exceptionally finicky about the options you set
up; it can not allow you to log on automatically but can allow you to log
on if you yourself type the password; it has an annoying tendency to lose
keystrokes and portions of graphics screens; we gave up on trying to get
it to work with MNP-equipped modems; it has periodically decided not to let
anyone log in for a stretch of a several hours (yet it will eventually let
you log in again even if you don't go and kick the computer it's running on).

   One of these days we'll get around to trying some of the other packages;
in the meantime, we tend to hand each other a lot of floppies whenver we
see each other.
