Throw me into the Bomgar and Altiris camp.  (We liked Bomgar better, but we
began to use Altiris system wide, so we dropped it)

However, about 4 years ago was briefly involved with an internal project
that never got anywhere, but we did discover this:

http://www.uvnc.com/products/pchelpware.html

You essentially setup your own logme in rescue.

Like I said, we never got off the ground with it, but it's always in the
back of my head.
