use Netmeeting .. is more secure than VNC.
you can use crypto with netmeeting..

this is the first time that i see anyone (apart from micros**t)
proclaim netmeting to be safe.

NetMeeting can hardly be firewalled and has not been audited by
external programmers for it's code security.

Personally, I use Terminal services for everyday use because it's
faster than VNC even on a 100Mbit Ethernet.
Ever used VNC on a cmd.exe box?
BTW:Terminal services can be set up for strong crypto, too...
