pcAnywhere

What works

You can connect to hosts and successfully use the remote access, provided

1) You run the application as 'root' (to enable it to create the connection)

2) The connection profile specifies an IP address and not a domain name

Once connected, the mouse, keyboard, and display works well. The clipboard transfer works for text.

What does not

You can't edit connection profiles or add new profiles.

The profiles area of the screen tends to constantly redraw in the large and small icons view, but if you switch to details view that goes away.

The file transfer function we connected doesn't work

Workarounds

What was not tested

Didn't try graphics transfer with the clipboard.

Ctrl-Alt-Del button, remote reboot, the other buttons.

Didn't test all the graphics modes and options (tested with default settings, 256 colours etc.)

Hardware tested

Additional Comments

Usable as a remote access tool if you have connection profiles pre-prepared with IP addresses.
