I'm not sure exactly how the remote access to user's PCs would work, but
we were looking at FirePass
(http://www.f5.com/f5products/products/FirePass/) from F5 which is an
SSL based VPN.  It works on any client with a web browser and you don't
have to install a client on the machine, it is done automatically, at
least in Windows, when the user logs in.  (Note I did have to do some
special setup on my Linux box)  It unfortunately it doesn't do
network-to-network VPN, which is why we didn't buy it, but I believe it
would work for what you're trying to do.  Their base model (600 series)
is about $5,000 for 10 concurrent users.  The model that's made more for
an enterprise network (1000 series) starts at around $10,000 list for 25
concurrent users.

to be specific; I am looking for a way to connect my customers to my
local network, so I can access their PC via vnc to help trouble shoot
problems with their PC. It would need to be a roadwarrior type of set
up, since most customers are using NAT from their ISP. I suppose the
closest example would be how gotomypc works.
