While PCREMOTE is an option, it doesn't do too well with some graphics modes. PCAnywhere (in version IV, I believe) is a commercial product and is quite solid, with enough features to keep the security-conscious happy. If you own PCTOOLS and can wait a couple of months to get the version 7.0 upgrade, the ability to run applications remotely will be built in (upgrade is US$49+US$6 for shipping). PCAnywhere has been around for a long time while the PCTOOLS implementation of remote access has only been tested (hopefully better than some of their other stuff, but I digress). Other applications that do remote access quite well are Carbon Copy, CloseUp, etc. Pop down to a ComputerLand store and see if you can get a demonstration. -- The 23:00 News and Mail Service - +1 206 292 9048 - Seattle, WA USA PEP, V.32, V.42 +++ A Waffle Iron, Model 1.64 +++
