Looking for PC Anywhere/NetOp alternatives

[electron]

Can anyone recommend a remote control package which supports tcp/ip & serial communications? I already own PC Anywhere & NetOp, but before I upgrade, I would like to see if there is anything better out there. Thanks!

Do you mean serial comms for the connection?

Anyway, I use PC Anywhere here in the office and much prefer Radmin, which I use at home.

I can't figure out if RAadmin supports serial connections, they briefly mention a modem, but there is nothing about it in their feature list.

 

[TonyNo]

AFAIK, Radmin only supports tcp/ip.

From the RAdmin v2.1 Help file:

Radmin doesn't work with a modem directly. To use a modem-to-modem connection you need to configure Dial-Up networking on both the server and client computers.

Radmin uses a TCP/IP connection between computers. So, you need to set up this service on both computers.

guess I will be sticking with NetOp, thanks guys!

What exactly do you need over serial, e?

 

[electron]

I need to be able to remotely control the machines over a serial connection.

I'm confused, since if you can run serial, why can't you run Ethernet and use full IP network control?
