What software do you use for real time remote collaboration?

I've used IRC & NCSA Collage on my Omnibook 300 since 1995. Daylight readable screen.. runs on AAs, no updates or worms to worry about since most of the code is in ROM. YEAH BABY!  Answer 2: (Serious)

If you need to see people, hear people, interact with them on a whiteboard, and show them a presentation, that probably implies you'll be doing mucho damage by not being there in person.It's probably best to figure out ways to win by not collaborating in real-time.. like reviewing and continuing your employees work after they go home but before they start the day because you're in a different time-zone. Think about it - you'll probably have 8 hours to think about things and provide good well-thought out concise answers and ideas that'll get read by fresh minds. That's way better than the interplay you'll get in most real-time meetings. As to presentations, maybe it'd best to find someone that's really skilled in them and have them do the presentations instead while you enjoy traveling?

http://Etherpad.com is a really nice collaborative notepad with no software to install.http://Skype.com works great in tons of environments for voice and video.http://BeamYourScreen.com allows you to show others what you've got on your computer, whether that's PowerPoint or a product demo. It even provides a no-download HTML viewer, and lets you interact if you want.
