Real or Tight VNC

And mstsc/RDP/Remote Desktop Connection



RDP/remote desktop is the fastest. imho

yea,
http://www.realvnc.com

you'll have to walk your cousin through setting up the VNC server, but it's really simple

I haven't ever used it with dial-up, but it promises to be significantly slower. It'll still probably be usable - just not for long periods of time.
