There was an article not long ago about some small s/w company in New York, about their simple salary plan. Everyone with the same level/experience there earns exactly the same salary. That kind of article.

Anyway, this same company has a web-based product for remote desktop access/collaboration which works through any firewall/NAT stuff on both ends.

It's just a pay-per-use (like, $3 or something) java applet that uses their server as a middleman. No installation required on either end of the shared desktop.

If your google-fu is good enough, you can probably find them.

Cheers
