Anyone know of a trustworthy remote desktop type of an application that is also freeware or open source?

I want to connect to my mother's computer so I can maintain and troubleshoot it for her from my own computer.

I have Windows XP Home edition, and I understand that I can't do remote desktop unless I have the Pro edition. I know I could use Remote Assistance (which I've been doing for the last week now), but I have to wait until she's home and have her give me permission.

I just want to be able to connect to her computer at anytime, but for free
