Parnet is great - for very local applications.  We're talking about
modem remote control of another Amiga.  DNET won't work for anything
that launches its own screens, etc.  In pcANYWHERE, everything is
echoed on both ends.  I can imagine that this would be tough for the
Amiga (read slow) because of the bitmapped display.  Graphics mode
using pcANYWHERE is no speed demon, either.  I haven't tried Sernet
and Netkeys -- will have to take a look at them.
