One big advantage of PcAnywhere32 is that you can use the Internet TCP/IP
as a Host and Remote.

IOW on the remote you set up under windows 95 a DUN to any Internet
Provider.  Then you connect to PcAnywhere32 Host (or Gateway) on the Host
Machine.  The only thing this requires is that you have a Static IP on the
Host Machine.

As far as people forgetting to start PcAnywhere32 you can set it to load
when windows loads.  This is fine for a dialup connection however you would
have to set the DUN to Load when windows 95 starts and then use DUNCE to
force a load of pcanywhere32 after the tcp/ip connection is established.
