access pcanywhere server from linux
Is it possible to access an MS computer running pcanywhere (server) from linux? I'm thinking of using e.g. krdc (kde's vnc client) on port 563[12], however this one says no server running. So, I assume that this is not the right one. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Correct. pcAnywhere uses its own protocol to communicate between client and host. They haven't produced a Linux client, but do have a Linux host. You *can* enable Web Remote on the host, though, and access it with a browser using Java. -- Homepage http://scottj.org XFce desktop environment http://www.xfce.org Goodies for the XFce desktop http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de GPG public key ID: 811B00AB
Will the PCAnyware client run under wine? probably won't be able to access a modem, but if you need to dialup, you may be able to dial in with the linux client to establish a network connection and use the network protocol (as apposed to modem) in pcanywhere. I believe wine can do tcp/ip. Not sure though...... B-) On Saturday 09 April 2005 10:16 am, Scott Jones wrote:

Sure it can, people have been playing counter strike and other network games with it for years.
