VNC is a great option for remote control. It requires an
IP connection,  where as PCAny... can work through a 
direct dial up to the controlled PC.  So it's really a 
question of how your connecting to the remote PC.  If
your're dialing straight to the PC you'll probably need
to either stick with PCany... or find a diffrent access
method (PPTP vpn, direct dial to something like a linux
box or terminal server running pppd, etc...)
