being that pcanywhere now mimicks the ssh protocol ports, at lest from
what is listed below, finding open port<s>, and even the other ports
listed is not enough evidence, one might actually have to connect to each
port and seek banners.

Thanks,

Short of using ISS or war dialing, does anyone know of other
tools/methods to locate installed versions of PC Anywhere on client
machines?

Terry,

Remotely finding machines on which pcAnywhere has been installed but is not running is difficult. On unsecured 
Windows NT machines, you may be able to enumerate services (including stopped services) to find some that have 
pcAnywhere installed.  Cerberus Internet Scanner will remotely enumerate services on unsecured Windows NT machines.

Remotely finding machines on which pcAnywhere is running should be relatively simple.  Some suggestions:

      - Load up pcAnywhere on a machine connected to the network on which you want to look for machines.  Then select 
Remote Control and Network - this will query the network for machines running pcAnywhere
      - Use your favorite port scanner to check for telltale pcAnywhere ports: TCP:22, 5631, 5632, 65301 and UDP:22, 
5632 for version 8, for example.

Hope that helps.
