I've successfully used VNC for remote administration of different 
platforms, but speed is an issue. Since your lines get so low speeds, 
you'll get the same low speeds even with a direct dialup to the company 
(don't forget that it's the same as dialing in to your ISP, 
bandwidth-wise).

If you have a router that supports dial-in (ideally with CallerID), that 
would be the easiest way to go. Otherwise you have to set up diald (I 
think) on your (presumably) linux box, and work your way from there...

If you're connecting linux <=> linux boxes, ssh + X forwarding is 
another option.

Connectivity is the main issue, really, once you can ping one machine 
from the other, working remotely should be a breeze.
