Since you're not going to be transfering much data over tht dial-up link, you might want to consider something like VNC. They could run the server, you could run a VNC client. You would have remote control of their system. You could remote type information to them and they could type back, or if they have another phone line or a cell phone you might want to do more detailed things (or things involved in booting,or rebooting) that way.
