Apologies for the OT post, but i know we have some pretty experienced
computer types here whose judgment I'd trust. I may have need for some
means to remotely access, via the web, a couple of computers. All have
capability for "Always on" broadband access. Let's call them computers
A,B & C. We need to be able to use computer A to access either B or C
remotely, just to transfer and access files and such. There should never
be need to access B & C simultaneously. Needs to be reasonably secure,
but no overly sensitive personal, financial or DOD type info here.

Someone suggested PC ANYWHERE as a possible app to do this. I have
researched it a bit and it looks like it may be what I need. I am
wondering if any of you guys have tried this particular software and
have an opinion on ease of setup/use, relaibility, etc., or care to
suggest something else.

I consider myself a bit more computer savvy than the average joe, but I
have no delusions that I am a network expert. I would appreciate any
suggestions.

Thanks very much,

Check out any VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software. To find out a
bit more about VNC read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC

Plenty of freeware available. Stable computing platform.

Available for PC and Mac.

I can access and operate my computer from anywhere in the world from my
Palm TX, as well as from my iPhone, using VNC software.
