Need to remote control desktop/laptop from PDA

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc, microsoft.public.handheldpc (More info?)

A PC Anywhere like J720 replacement would be benefecial for me, since
my laptops screen is nearing its end. I would then need to control and
acess the machine when it finally does say goodnight. It could take a
week, a year or whenever it decided to go. Perhaps they make a
PocketPC/HPC client that I am not aware of. My laptop runs Windows 98
SE.

My old J680 had PC Anywhere CE, but since moving to HPC2000 I lost that
ability. It could run the laptop preety fast over a serial port using
grayscale. I dont necessarily need color, just something that works.
Thanks,


John

Doesn't your laptop have a VGA out connector? Throw a monitor on there.
