Hello Geoff: Yes, PC-anywhere can also be used to singon to a pc where no one is signed on.
But, I donot think your problem is VNC releated. But you wanted to know more about what vnc, pc-anywhere and rdp are: The basic Idea is simple: Copy the screen off one pc, and paint it in a window on a second. In this way you can see the first pc remotely. If you then copy all keystrokes and mouse events back to the remote machine, you get a full remote access of the pc! But as usuall, the reality is a little more complicated. Coping the entire screen is just too much data, takes too long to send and too much CPU to check...so - scheemes to improve what is to be copied where invented. - scheemes to improve the amount of data being sent where invented - scheemes to improve scanning technics where invented. Now Pc_AnyWhere and MS RDP are Commercial products. But most importanttly they have very advanced "scanning" scheemes which make windows server more efficient, (use less cpu and update quicker). Ultra Vnc is Beta Testing such an "Advanced" scheeme, that will (finally) bost vnc into the (windows) major leagues!
