While VNC does not offer any significant security and is slower, it is
certainly more stable than pcAnywhere. I prefer the stability, the size of
the client (less than 200K), the browser interface (who needs a client?),
etc. of VNC over pcAnywhere. I also like VNC better than terminal services,
because of the occasional inability to reconnect to the same session and
continue working, though this occurs much less in Win2K than NT4/TS.
Hosting facilities must hate pcAnywhere...

I wanted to get an idea of what full-system remote administration programs
people recommend for internet servers. Mainly I've found most use
PCAnywhere or Terminal Services... curious as to which poses less of a
security risk, quicker speed, server resources used, etc.

TIA,

Ryan McDonnnell
