[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Remote control of PC's

nghiem@ut-emx.UUCP (Alex Nghiem) (02/02/90)

In the last PC Magazine, a utility called PCREMOTE was highlighted. PCREMOTE
is a PD version of PCANYWHERE, minus graphics, that allows one to log onto
a host PC from a remote PC and operate the host as the local machine.

However, PCREMOTE has a notorious problem--it does not work on the
TANDY 1000HX (Phoenix bios) and my clone which also has a Phoenix bios
and an Intel 386/PC. It appears to address the modem and then lock up
the machine. Perhaps a problem with accessing the keyboard controller?
PCREMOTE does work on an IBM-PCXT. 

Is there any other public domain utility out there that performs the
same function as PCREMOTE or PCANYWHERE. Please post or send E-mail.
