Hello,

One of the things that our company does is act as an off site system administrator for our clients. What we are looking for is the best & not overly costly solution to remotely connect to them. We are using PC Anywhere in some cases, but I'm not sure that this is the best solution or the cheapest.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

First, best solution and cheapest tend to be diametrically opposed attributes for any software.

It's a matter of finding a package that provides most of what you want it to do at a price you afford.

Two key questins that might lead you to one product over another are:

What types of OSes do you need to be able to connect to?

Do you need to be able to interact with a logged on user?

If you are looking for cheap, take a look at VNC at www.realvnc.com. The price is right - free.
