Remote Pair Programming

Hi, My name is Mike Johnson ( http://www.bigattichouse.com ) all of 
my projects are completed remotely, being agile and remote can be 
quite a headache.

Typically, The best tool I've used has been the telephone... and 
I've noticed that anything less that calling every other day = 
disaster... daily phone calls (if not 2-3/day) seem the only way to 
really stay on top of remote projects. IM helps, but many customers 
don't want, or won't have it installed.

Does anyone else here try and work this way? What ideas/strategies 
have you used to overcome the lack of face-to-face communication?  
What do you use to share the "note cards" with your customers?

In frustration of trying to pair-program/mentor some SQL with someone 
remotely, I built some shareware to assist in solving the 
difficulties I run into when working remotely, I hope to build some 
more tools, but I'm not sure how to approach the "XP Market". (feel 
free to throw ideas/needs out!). I thought asking here might give me 
some insight.
