I am currently looking for a software package that will allow me to work on another PC remotely. I have two PC located in two different cities. I would like to call up the other PC from my location thru a modem and be able to work on the other PC as if I was actually on the PC at that location. I heard that there were some software that are capable of doing this. The PC are both stand alone ( not connected to a network) and I must be able to do work on the remote PC as if I was working there. What I need to know are the names of the software package and a summary of the capabilities (good and bad). thanks in advance. Stephen M.

Try Carbon Copy Plus. I think the latest version is 5.1 or something. It will let you pretend you are sitting at the remote PC, and can even run things like Flight Simulator! There is an optional callback feature for added security (the remote system must call you back at a known phone number when you try to call it) and for allowing "collect calls" if it is long distance. The old versions ( <= 5.0 ) used to require you buy 2 packages -- one for remote, one for local. I think the new version needs only 1 copy to be purchased. I've seen it here in Toronto (Computronix Data Centre) for $99 (on sale). I've used the package extensively and was quite impressed. >thanks in advance. >Stephen M.

[...] $I've used the package extensively and was quite impressed. Our company has used several verions of Carbon Copy quite extensively and have been less than impressed. We have found it unable to work reliably above 9600 bps; it can be exceptionally finicky about the options you set up; it can not allow you to log on automatically but can allow you to log on if you yourself type the password; it has an annoying tendency to lose keystrokes and portions of graphics screens; we gave up on trying to get it to work with MNP-equipped modems; it has periodically decided not to let anyone log in for a stretch of a several hours (yet it will eventually let you log in again even if you don't go and kick the computer it's running on). One of these days we'll get around to trying some of the other packages; in the meantime, we tend to hand each other a lot of floppies whenver we see each other. -- __ __ _ | ...!nexus.yorku.edu!xrtll!silver | always (__ | | | | |_ |_) >----------------------------------< searching __) | |_ \/ |__ | \ | if you don't like my posts, type | for _____________________/ find / -print|xargs cat|compress | SNTF
