Does anyone have any comments/opinions on PC-remote control software packages available? I have heard of BLAST, PC-Anywhere and Carbon Copy. I have tried BLAST, but learned after much aggrivation that it can not scan VGA displays, only mono, CGA or EGA. I have not tried the other packages. Price is also of some importance ... I have a price of $135/copy for CC (but I hear it requires that you buy 2 copies). PS-Anywhere requires that you only purchase a single copy to provide access between 2 PCs (I am told). Glenn

How about Close-Up by the Norton-Lambert Company. This is a product put out by the same Peter Norton of the famed Norton Utilites (tm). {G} I have tried BLAST, but learned after much aggrivation that it can {G} not scan VGA displays, only mono, CGA or EGA.

I think the price for Close-Up includes software for both sides of your connection. That's about all I know though. Hope it helps. - Norm. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norman J.
