Brad, what OS are you using at work?  If you are running Windows XP, 
then it comes with a built-in remote desktop capability that is very 
nice - no need for PC Anywhere.  And Linux has a client for that as 
well.  If you are using an earlier Windows version, then the 
functionality of remote desktop used to separately packaged as Terminal 
Services.  It would work to install the server version on your system, 
but I wouldn't recommend it (and you employer might have a policy 
against it.)

I'm running Windows 2000 here at work with PCAnywhere on it.   Where would I
get Terminal Services and what would I use on the Linux machine to talk to
it?  Right now we are using PCAnywhere as it's all we could find to do what
we needed, if something else works it will probably be OK but I'll check.

Thanks,

Brad
