Install on windows 2000 and use terminal services in administration mode. You then have 100% control over the server and the screen updates are much faster than PC Anywhere. the only problem I have is there is no utility within Terminal Services to upload a file to the server. So you must us an alternate method if you need to do file transfers.
This is the way we do it and it works great. I di file transfers with PC anywhere. If you are running the Terminal services client from a W2kpro or XPpro you do not need an aditional license for the terminal services session.

Eric, With 95% capability, that still means 1 in 20 commands has to be done from the actual console. Our data center is not in the same building as our office and I know of many others that co-locate their servers. I do not even bother to plug in our Linux boxes into the KVM switches anymore! Once the HD is formatted and Linux is installed, I can SSH into them and do 100% of the work by remote. IAdmin is nice now that we have a fiber link between our office and data center. But this still does not help those that co-locate their servers. I got so that I absolutely hated PC Anywhere! Now I have to be honest, our data center is a whopping 250' down the ally from our office... but still, that room is loud! And I still hate Mailall.exe...
