[dba-Tech] Free alternative for LogMeIn Rescue?

Hamachi with Window Remote Desktop (You have to have a XP Pro TermServer
with packages with like XP home)... which of course now owned by LogMeIn and
which now uses Hamachi under-the-firewall technology. I use UltraVNC with a
lot of clients as it works well on both Windows and Linux (in conjunction
with Putty) and it is free. 

On the other hand the absolute simplest remote product is LogMeIn. Many
companies around here use it as their standard regardless the price. There
are also bulk purchase rates for larger support companies.

All Windows servers have build-in Remote Desktop (TermServer) administration
support and all major Linux products have UltraVNC technology built in.

Hi all

This product for remote support (the user calls the support) is somewhat
expensive for ad hoc use:

Any proven alternatives? Must be able to get through firewalls.
