I've been using pc-Anywhere with very good results. The only problem is
that it doesn't like software with graphics-oriented interfaces (e.g.
Microsoft Works). Other than that, it works quite well.
It is also slightly finicky about the type of modem you use on the host
end (the computer you're dialing in to). The modems we get on state contract
are real dogs, so it's not surprising that the program objects. Supposedly
it has a "generic Hayes compatible" modem option but I'd still recommend
using a type that is explicitly supported. Most of the brands you've heard
of are in fact supported (Hayes, MultiTech, Everex, etc.) The remote end
doesn't seem to be as critical.
