VNC doesnt require much in terms of security besides a non encrypted password check. How is pcanywhere? Can you connect via a web browser like VNC? FasteR?

Just bear in mind that VNC has no encryption, so any communication between host & remote is open to snooping (And yes, I do know that it can be made secure, by, for example redirecting through an SSH connection).

Having said that, VNC is excellent for use within a trusted network, especially for the price ;)

I use both VNC and pcAnywhere (v9.2) everyday, and I am not a big pcAnywhere fan - the host service is not all that robust, especially compared with VNC, but you do get all the 'bells & whistles', ie. File Transfers, Encryption, Scripting, Multi-session Broadcasts, etc...

TauNeutrino -that would be sweet, but before i fell asleep reading the fineprint, i caught that it only applies to retail versions, and this is OEM, CD only no box with a UPC etc.

NetMeeting's Remote Desktop Sharing feature utilizes SSL. It may not be as feature-rich as pcAnywhere, but it's free, and it's already installed on your harddrive (Win98SE and later...). If you don't have the latest, you can download it free from Microsoft

What technical assistance? When is the last time anyone reading this forum actually had to call for technical assistance, and if they did call, did they get any meaningful help?

I'll take an OEM version of PCA 10 for $20 anyday over the overpriced $100+ retail version . . .

My 2 cents.

"and if they did call, did they get any meaningful help?"

Not once, ever, is my answer to that.

Anyone know if pcanywhere will connect to another computer in which it is installed when the host has a cable modem and the remote has a regular 56K phoneline modem? Can settings be changed on the remote? Or is this just ftp?

Sure it will connect the way you describe. Just have the remote PC with a modem connect to the internet first, via any ISP. Then, you are both on the internet. Connect via TCP/IP.

It isnt warez...

If the oem version is not registerable, then why the heck do they make it?

My company paid $169 for the retail version. Now I can get 4 for the price of 1 retail. Thanks.
