Doesn't LogMeIn require one of the computers to have something installed?

Yep

Simply install LogMeIn on the computer you want to access, and then you can beam into that PC from anywhere using just a web browser.

Hardware's optional. I use a software IP phone. No idea if the service is restricted to the UK though. Give it a try, it's free... Wink
