The tool/programme I use everyday is Double Vision.  A commercial product that 
allows me to look at. control etc other users screens.  Our users are all over 
the North Island of New Zealand.  It does not matter if it is a problem with a 
terminal or a user not knowing his/her way through a programme - I can sit at 
my screen watching theirs and talk them through the issues over the phone.

This programme has been worth its weight in gold.
