[comp.sys.ibm.pc] remote PC control

I am looking for something to take Carbon Copy's place.  I am
currently using Carbon Copy V4.0 and am less than pleased with a few
of it's features, like adding garbage to the end of file transfers.

I've heard of CO/SESSION and pcAnywhere.  Is either any good?
Are there any other players in this game?

Thanks in advance.

pcAnywhere does what it claims to do very well.  I have successfully
run Ventura, WP5.0, and various other programs remotely with no problems.
It does not seem to like SKPLUS, but I haven't spent a lot of time trying
to make it work.  File transfer is smooth for both text and other files.
You can actually call your IBM with a Mac and several other terminals.  I
think this program will be hard to beat.  A newer version has been announced
that I haven't seen.  Good luck.
