I'm also using PCAnywhere 8.0 with fairly good results, although like Barbara said, the screen refresh rate could be a lot faster. I've also had problems with users not turning the PCAnywhere on so I have it setup so that PCAnywhere loads automatically when Windows loads and run in "wait mode" in the background. Now only if I could get the users to stop turning off the machine altogether, my work would be little easier.
