PC Anywhere is much the same - remote control, with a couple of options
(one is to blank the remote screen (it does this by fiddling with the
video card settings, and some monitors react badly to this) one is to
"chat" with the remote user using a built in chat app (I just use
Wordpad instead :) and the third is file transfer (to replace this, I
use a normal file transfer app like ftp - I use Webweaver on the
*client* machine (http://bsoutham.home.dhs.org/) to provide a FTP or
HTTP server, and then a normal web browser on the target machine to pull
over files.....
The only real advantage PC_Anywhere has is encryption by default - and
that is via a propriatory alg that isn't known to be secure (try SSH
forwarding instead - at least you know you can trust that)
