Expanding on the suggestion of VNC, check out TridiaVNC and TightVNC
http://www.tridiavnc.com
http://www.tightvnc.com

They both add compression that works pretty well on slower connections.

I would look into VNC by AT&T Labs. It seems to be very light weight, and
most importantly has completely customizable ports, very important if you
will be accessing through a firewall, and also adds a little security
through obscurity. Also, VNC is open source under the typical GNU License
and all the source is provided.

Terminal services is something I strongly discourage. It causes unnecessary
load on the server. I have never been a fan of PCAnywhere.
