We have seen a bit of a network overload while using VNC, compared to
pcAnywhere (8.0). And it is more likely to crash on the Macintosh server,
but at least it works on both platforms, which is more than can be said for
Symantec. We were evaluating Remotely Anywhere, which has a web interface,
but our main application support folks require we run pcAnywhere, so we've
got it everywhere...

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Back door for remote maintenance
I was tired of the problems (and costs) associated with PCAnywhere and
migrated to VNC (free!) over a year
ago. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ I have not had a single problem
with VNC. As a backup, I also have InterAccess' Telnet Daemon
running. I've been using this particular telnetd for 2 1/2 years also
without a problem. I'm in Toledo, Ohio and have machines spread throughout
Ohio, Michigan and Florida, so reliability is a bit important to me.
