Erwin, A cheaper way around that problem is Netmeeting, which gives you the console. Most don't know that it's built right into XP (just do run, the "conf" and click OK). For other OS's it's a simple install. Not as full featured as pcAnywhere (which I love) by any means, but a heck of a lot cheaper<g>.

I use PC Anywhere for ages now, and TS is the fastest even over low speed links. But I still use PC Anywhere for remote management because these KVM software are the only one that can be used to see the "real" screen of a server. I case of error messages or real server KVM interaction TS is not useable. I seen softwareupdates give an error on the real adminitrator screen while I was installing it via a TS session. Also scheduled programs give an error on the "real" administrator screen, not in the TS session. So for remote server management you would still need an PC Anywhere or VNC type soft. Altoug for remote user management I use TS because it's much faster.

MS TS is tightly integrated with windows and sends much less info for a given change in screen. John W.
