Well, I really don't think pcAnywhere is a secure way to access the server. The only acceptable secure configuration using pcAnywhere to me would be install a ssh host on the server, like vShell from www.vandyke.com and then using pcAnywher on top of a ssh tunnel. Not mentioning that pcAnywhere some time causes other application level incompatibilities which introduces instability of the OS.
