>>My company will be upgrading to Windows NT Server very shortly from using NetWare for past 8 years. With the Novell setup, we were using PCAnywhere, a remote control software for our 3 remote offices to connect to our main office. This solution was very easy and cheap to setup and use but it hasn't been the most idea solution. Thus, what is the preferred method of supporting very small remote offices to connect to the main office with regards to NT? When connected, the remote offices needs to primarily run a Visual Foxpro-based order-entry application. We need to implement a solution that's inexpensive to setup and use with minimal sacrafices in quality. Anyone have similar experience he/she would like to share? Would a ISDN-based solution be idea? Web-enabling it (what about security???)?

>When running NT PC anywhere isn't the greatest solution. We run several NT servers where I work and were using PC anywhere which worked great until we upgraded to some really powerful servers ( 4 processors etc.....) Symantec will not gurantee that PC anywere will work on multi-processor machines...and wow it didn't work!

>As far as running an application remotely I doubt that PC anywhere or Remotely Possible 32 is a great solution, you might try implementing offline views with VFOX if that can't be done easily an ISDN might give you the necessary bandwidth to work remotely but don't know anyone who is.

Bob. Thanks for your input. I'm want to move away from remote control if possible. I don't like to upgrade the each host computers in our main office. I've almost 100% decided on using the Web solution instead (Visual Foxpro/West Wind). Now I have another problem: what hardware/connections is most cost-effective for Web enabling the application? Any more ideas?

John.
