How about just put screenConnect (free version for 3 hosts) on that computer and let him connect to it from the web page. Simple to setup and use.

Last I checked the ZT connection would be 'always on' unless you manually login to the website and disable and enable it. One vector for issues. Yes SC is permanent on but its like RDP.
