RE: pcanywhere

[Henry Sieff <hsieff () orthodon com>]

Its not _too_ bad; if you have version 8, it keeps its business on two ports
(TCP 5631 and UDP 5632). You can use symettric encryption, or public key, to
encrypt the session, in addition to whatever the VPN provides. You can also
set it to refuse any unencypted sessions.

However, there may be risks I'm not aware of.
