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.
