Hi All,
Just a few quick points. pcAnywhere Version 9, found at www.symantec.com is a nifty program that allows you to do many things. In its simplest form it allows you to connect to another "host" computer with your "remote" computer via the internet or by phone. Each end of the connection must have the program installed, one set as host the other as remote. Once you connect to the other system you can operate the remote PC from your location as if you were actually sitting at the other site. You can transfer files between the PC's , run programs found on their station (even ones you don't have)and even reboot the other station. You might not be able to reconnect if you do this so be caareful. The other user will not be able to use their station while you are online.
I use this program to remotely administer many PC's over Western Canada with great success.
