I saw a suggestion to use Procomm to control your pc from remote, I use procomm
for this and it work's great and is very easy to use, but a word of warning
the documentation says you can run programs from remote along with searching
directories, but it also warns that if you try to run a program that does
direct screen writes that it will seem to freeze from the remote side.
This warning is correct and most of the software these days are doing screen
writes in this way to increase the speed.  Still Procomm is great for getting
files from your pc while you're gone. It also has password protection for
logging on and another password to get to your files.
