Ted,
The company is based in the Seychelles, with whom I have little
experience.<<
That's enough to keep me away.

So far, Remote Utilities (yeah, goofy name, but that's what they call it) seems to be the front runner. In case this helps someone else I'll keep

Wow, RU seems too good to be true! Which should make a reasonable person cautious.
It seems to work on something like the Skype model, where both sides need to "phone home" to their central server in order to connect through a firewall. And they seem to offer a version of their RU server so you could self-support if needed (note: that server would need to be outside the local firewalls). I am concerned about the security issues: this software would have complete access to the network and communicates over the internet, so requires a great deal of trust. The company is based in the Seychelles, with whom I have little experience.
Reviews look good. Please keep us updated on what you find.
