I am looking for a good communications program that will allow me to access my IBM PC remotely. I would like to dial up my PC from another terminal and run DBase or Paradox. bo>itild e.

It will cost you about $100 at each end, but it has worked just fine for me and the group I work with. It can even be configured for automatic call-back operation.

We sell it to all of our business customers who are on support contracts. It makes life a lot easier when we can remotely handle a users question, rather than having to go to their site to take care of their difficulties. If you would like some information on this, send me a note and I will put something in the mail. -- Greg Kemnitz | amdahl \ K and K Systems | ihnp4 !meccts!kksys!gk P.O.

PC Magazine has recommended both "Remote" and "PC Anywhere". I have used Anywhere and find it quite useful. The one thing Anywhere has going is the ability to run any well behaved software from almost any remote terminal. Mike Ewan sytek@tekgen.TEK.COM

Both are very good at operating a PC remotely. They use proprietary communication protocols, so you need to have two copies, one at each end. They handle things like direct screen writes, graphic pictures and the like. The only glitch I found is that Carbon Copy won't recongize the ALT key - used as a hotkey for DesqView. Otherwise, they work great. I've tried them with dBase III Plus, Lotus (All versions), FramwWork II, WordPerfect 4.2 and dialing into a PC that is part of a local area network (This allows me to dial into a LAN that doesn't have the dial-in ability.) I have'nt tried them with Paradox, but I'm positive it will work. Does anyone else have any experience with these programs?? A. Peter Belsanti University of Waterloo

I have some eperience with a package which doesn't require a copy of the software at each end. PC-Anywhere will let any one of 32 different terminal types dial in and run the PC. All the 32 entries can be modified and one of them is a special piece of software that you can run on a PC.
