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.
