Remote Desktop connection to a Vista Basic Home machine

I'm trying to enable incoming Remote Desktop connections on a Vista Home
Basic PC - can it (or something similar to unattended, password-protected
remote access) be done? I could setup a VNC connection and port forwards on
the customer's router at his business, but if RDP is an option, would prefer
to use it. I know Vista Business allows it, but is 'Home banned from this
list?

Thanks in advance

Do you have the option to turn it on in advanced system settings?
