Last I knew, PC-Anywhere could be used by a "dumb terminal" as well
as a terminal emulator program (they provide one, but you could use
your own).  Other products (Carbon Copy, for example), require
proprietary code at both ends, so that product wouldn't work. Lan
versions of some products can use ethernet , but I don't know if
they can be accessed from a Unix-type system.

PC Magazine posted the code several months ago (January, I think)
for a simple character-based serial program - both ends.  If you're
8088-assembler-literate, you might be able to hack it up a tad or
figure how to write your own unix-end driver.

As far as working via ethernet, perhaps if your PC ethernet driver
has an int-14 interceptor - and if the remote-emulation program will
use it, rather than replace it with their own driver - it might work.
