{G} Does anyone have any comments/opinions on PC-remote control software
{G} packages available? I have heard of BLAST, PC-Anywhere and Carbon
{G} Copy.

How about Close-Up by the Norton-Lambert Company.  This is a product
put out by the same Peter Norton of the famed Norton Utilites (tm).

{G} I have tried BLAST, but learned after much aggrivation that it can
{G} not scan VGA displays, only mono, CGA or EGA. I have not tried the
{G} other packages.

Not use what graphics Close-Up will handle either.

{G} Price is also of some importance ... I have a price
{G} of $135/copy for CC (but I hear it requires that you buy 2 copies).
{G} PS-Anywhere requires that you only purchase a single copy to provide
{G} access between 2 PCs (I am told).

I think the price for Close-Up includes software for both sides of your
connection.

That's about all I know though.  Hope it helps.
