I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

If one of these is sold by Norton Lambert (my old company), I would use
that one. Their product testing is quite extensive.

Note that if you use WinXP as the "home" host machine, you don't need
either. The terminal services client is a free download.

A free VNC implementation that works well and fast
is TightVNC, described and available at
http://www.tightvnc.org/
If both ends are TightVNC, it can use a compressed
version of the protocol for improved performance over
slow links. (From far away, many links become slow.)

The VNC protocol is readily tunneled (thru SSH or
other tunneling protocols) to provide secure access
to a computer.

I don't use XP and am reluctant to begin using it... I'm not fond of
software that "calls home" ;-)

We used Norton Lambert Close-Up for many years.
It's professional software, and I highly recommend it.

I went to their website and read the comparison between
PCanywhere and Close-Up. Looks like there IS no comparison!

Also see UltraVNC at http://www.uvnc.com/. Freeware and quite good.
They're using it at my workplace and I also have a copy at home for my
own little network.

Interesting! Though I don't have any need for multiple users, the
other comparisons are quite impressive!

I think you should have gone to your son-in-law (or whoever the software
guru is in your family) and asked him to eveluate PCanywhere, etc. You
still should.

So far, three different version of VNC have been recommended. And it
looks like all of them are crippleware of sorts, you get the free
version with limited features and have to pay for the full featured
version with encryption, etc.

I just wonder what the diff is between th three, and which is better
than the others. The cross platform has some value, but most of them
will end up on Windoze machines. I think back in 1998, we used an
earlier version on a classroom of Macs. The instructor was trying to
slave all of them to his Mac, and it didn't work very well so he stopped
and went back to the video projector.

Oldest son. Sons-in-law are a bean counter at Honeywell and a lead
prosecutor in Yuma County... presently investigating that 6-person
murder that's making the national news.

I believe that the oldest son uses PCanywhere, but I've far pickier
than he... I'm a user, he's only a programmer ;-)

I liked the speed numbers that Norton-Lambert bragged.

Tightvnc and Openvpn work well together.

I believe you can set the windows client up to be the server. And you can tunnel in from another client.

Turns out that the oldest son recommends "netop" or "ultravnc".
