This is why we use WebEx. All the client has to do is navigate to a website,
click on the "meeting" that we have set up, and click to give us control of
their computer. Plus, they can watch what we are doing as we are doing it,
and we are usually on the phone with them on the same time. This has the
added advantage of not requiring the user to do any setup, and it works
through corporate firewalls (runs on port 80 via a web interface).

I don't work for, or get paid by WebEx for saying this, it's just my
experience that it works great.
