My understanding is that the latest version (9.2?) of
pcAnywhere uses UDP, which seems to be a great reason to avoid it.

Subject: [FW1] pcAnywhere vs. 2000 WTS vs. VNC
All,
For reasons beyond my control, I must allow remote management
of some
DMZ servers, from my inTRAnet to one of my
web-farm DMZs. I'd hope to
force everyone to
standardize on a single remote admin application,
however. Right now, my choices are pcAnywhere, VNC, or
Windows2000 WTS.
I know that VNC has had tons of problems, vulnerabilities,
etc., so I'm
pretty much going to try to that one
out first.
Next, is pcAnywhere - I know it can support menial encryption
methods,
and can do dual user auth, which is good, but
is it better than.....
The third choice is W2k WTS - It's free, fast, and comes with
W2K
Server, but I know NOTHING about it's
security. All I know is it runs
on TCP 3389, but
I don't have any clue if it has secure communications
capabilities (encryption), etc. Any ideas or opinions?
Thanks very
much.
Jason
