I use this for remote administration, so long term access isn't an issue and
these servers run pcanywhere and vnc concurrently. I don't own these servers
but I am the administrator(obviously) I guess you mean you don't have high
enought permissions to actually alter the server.

No unfortunately vnc can't manage pcanywhere sessions. Anyway I have found it
to be a lot less resource intensive compared with pcanywhere (both remote and
host apps) so whether win4lin can use pcanywhere now or not does not really
come in to it. I guess I am really trying to dump Windows and the closer I
get to slipping that cd into the draw for eternity the better.
