We have also had problems with PCAnywhere giving up the ghost on our many 
NT Boxes, so what I have started doing is also installing VNC on the 
machines.  VNC gives you the remote control funtions, but not the file 
transfer etc.  It seems to work when nothing else will.  When we had the 
SMTP runaway problem and the machine went to 100%, VNC worked.....very 
slowly, but it worked.  PCA was dead.

So we use VNC to get into the machine, start/stop PCA and go on.  A lot 
less intrusive than a reboot.
