Try using VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/).  It is a java-based
program that was written by AT&T that basically does what PCA does, but
it is FREE, FREE, FREE!  Seems to work pretty well.   You can even to a
remote reboot with it.   We have been playing around with it after seeing
a co-location client of ours using it.  It is VERY slick.  You may want
to do some research on BugTraq to make sure it is safe, but I really like
it.

A failed installation (attempting to upgrade ver. 8 to ver. 10) on an NT4,
sp6 server literally destroyed the server OS, making it impossible to boot
the OS without a "blue screen." This just happened to be an important
production server without a ghosted system partition. We had to rebuild from
scratch on another box. Almost lost a Very Important Client or two.

When I contacted Symantec, they charged me $29.95 to tell me that I was
"hosed."

If you are not using PCAnywhere, do not start. If you have an older version,
upgrade with the greatest of risk.
