Remote desktop/login/pcanywhere for small home server

[PingSpike]

I have a small home server that runs 2k server, winmx, ftp and mail. The only thing is, I'd rather not have to use up all the desk space for a monitor keyboard and mouse. I know I could use a KVM switch, but I'd rather not go that route. What I want to do, is to just be able to login remotely from my main rig on the local lan to do the occasional tweak, restart, whatever. I was thinking PCanywhere would be the right tool for this...any other suggestions?

UltraVNC with the updated mirror driver. LINK

I use it on my headless (no monitor, mouse, or KB) server/backup system running W2K Pro.

Nice, this sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Appears to be freeware to boot! Thanks!

or better yet use the built in remote desktop which comes with the win2k server
waaaay faster than vnc

Ah, for some reason I thought that was only in 2k3. Either way I might end up installing pro anyway, freeware antivirus software won't install on server OSes. Gotta decide whether I need any of the extra stuff server offers.
