>We have set up a PC with PC-ANYWHERE  (all win95) for dial in connect to
>the server.
>On the machine from home, you fire up PC-ANYWHERE and it calls into the
>PC which is waiting for your call.  PC-ANYWHERE then asked 'what is the
>number I should call you back at ?".  Now I enter my home number and
>sure enough, the PC (PC-ANYWHERE) calls me back and establishes the
>connection.
>At this point you have taken control of the PC at work and are using it
>to do your work. At this point, my computer at home is doing nothing
>except shooting screen shots back and forth.  This design (to use the
>computers to transfer screen shots) is for speed.  If you were using
>your computer at home as the work horse, transferring excel data for
>example, it would take hours to do this type of transferring so
>transferring screen shots is much faster.
>The problem is when you end your session.  The users do not use or
>forget to use the proper exit 'END REMOTE SESSION' icon on PC-ANYWHERE.
>They forget that they are controlling the PC at work when they 'EXIT'
>PC-ANYWHERE leaving the machine at work in a shut down state "YOUR
>COMPUTER IS NOW READY TO SHUT DOWN".
>Of course anyone who comes along later, it doesn't answer the phone.

>I know there is a better way.
