Remote control
Curtis M. Finley
It looks as though pcANYWHERE is now capable of doing remote control via
TCP/IP across the Internet. Is anyone dialing in to the campus modem bank
and using pcANYWHERE to remote control their system at work? What has been
your experience? Is anyone using a different product for such remote
control?

I have been using pcANYWHERE to remote control my NT Server and it
works out quite well. It runs as a service and use the NT User
Manager for password authentication.
However, now that the campus has a site-license for Timbuktu, I
will be switching to that for my server as well as office PCs.

We recently used NetMeeting (Microsoft) btwn here and Florida and it
worked much more smoothly than did pcAnywhere. It is also free :-)
Get it from www.microsoft.com/netmeeting
It uses MS' ldap (ILS?) server to setup directories of people to contact,
but you can specify IP addresses directly to avoid that expense.

"It would be just like programmers to shorten 'the year 2000
problem' to 'Y2K'-- exactly the kind of thinking that created
this situation in the first place."
