further to this TightVNC is worth a look.

Ivan,

Have you considered using a dial-up connection into your server?  I know
that it is a little slow, but it's much more secure and will allow you
access in the event that the internet connection is lost.  I work for a
large Fortune 500 company, and our shipping servers are remotely
administered by the parcel company's tech staff with no problems.  If you
needed to, you could then enable a network VNC-type connection.  

I'd research gotomypc.com as well.  I believe they tunnel everything over
SSL, giving you nearly full functionality remotely.

Just some thoughts!

Hi All,
Looking at deploying pcAnywhere on the internet facing interface of a windoz

2000 server for remote management and would like any feed back as to:

- the vulnerabilities of the pcanywhere application
- can the login be brute forced

any other feedback is appreciated

Thanks
Henry
