I found that pcAnywhere was the best all-around product for remote admin.

It uses Microsoft's CryptoAPI for security which allows you to a) Use
symmetric encryption or b) PK encryption.

For those who are Govn't weenies like I am, MS's CryptoAPI is FIPS140
compliant.

I also looked at the Free VNC from AT&T labs, but it's open source, uses
DES/3DES encryption and to me seemed lacking in the features offered by
pcAnywhere.

pcAnywhere 9.2

I've not used this product, so I can't comment. Looks like something that
might
help though, as it (the HTTP end of it anyway) offers full
service/user/registry type functions, unfortunately the telnetd isn't
publicised that well on the site, although I assume it offers similar
functionality?
