Alternative to Remote Assistance

Windows XP. Remote Assistance is hit and miss for me, more miss than hit.
Can anyone suggest a service that will enable my field users to log into a
web site that will then allow me to access and control their computers. I am
familiar with GoToAssist.com, but I only need the equivalent of Remote
Assistance. I do not need nor want the bells and whistles. Thanks for any
help.
