In the past, PC Anywhere opened up some major security holes in
computers and networks. Once installed, it announced itself like a
beacon, screaming for script kiddies to come and get it. It may have
been fixed by now, but I wouldn't want it on any network I was
responsible for. This is demonstrated by it being a bandwidth hog. I
used to get announcements on my network all the time when I was on
cable, where folks had installed it and it was probing the network.

The problem with PC Anywhere is the bandwidth that it requires and creates
latency. I use Ham Radio Deluxe which operates with a host program running
on 1 computer and a client program on the other. This in conjunction with
Skype to pass the 2-way audio works great. I've done demos (last one a
couple weeks ago at Superfest at AES in Milwaukee) and latency ends up being
very low. For my home station from Milwaukee to Cedarburg (home) less than
20ms latency on all operations, from Milwaukee to India under 300ms, still
great as anything under 400 or so ms works well. I have tried with
PcAnywhere which requires much more data to transfer and latency goes way up
and all actions are very delayed.

Hello Everyone,
Perchance has anyone on the list tried remote control of his/her K2 (e/w a
KIO2 accessory) using PC Anywhere as described in the April, 2007 QST?
