Dennis, Read all the posts from this week with PCanywhere in the subject line.
I have been experimenting this week with remote connections and have found that the software is the critical issue when trying to connect remotely. I have tried Reachout, PCAnywhere, VNC Viewer by RealVNC, Remote Administrator and Netop Remote Control. I know Sunbelt Software has a package and then there are third party options like "gotomypc.com" --> (got the third party info from Bob Simms and he says it works great). Any way as for today I have tested all the options in know about as of now, but the last two over a 100mb network first and none worked better the Nero option. Then set up and ran this thru a mind spring dial up connection at 56.3 and it worked great. Transfer rates were within mile seconds of the original 100mb network speed even over a dial up to a T1. I had these two computers a Sony Vio Laptop to Mindspring dial up thru the Internet to an AT&T Managed Router thru a Watchgaurd Firebox to Our NT servers and Trend Virus Check to 1 100mb switch to a 100mb network card and finally to a P3 Atahalon. Watching these two computers interact side by side there was very little delay in screen refreshing rates between the two. All these options allow you a trail period to test with. It is best to try over the network 1st and then over a dialup, cable or DSL. This allows you the option of checking the different software option thoroughly. Also if you are using TCP/IP remember each software provider uses different default ports. Any other questions feel free to email me for contact info at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have done a lot of leg work on this over the last few days. The site below is the software I am the most satisfied with. Bill Downall gave me the information on this and recommended it to me.

Performance is extremely SLOW. I'm assuming the weak link is the speed of the T1, but it could also be ???
