481052 2006-08-28 02:26:00 Anybody got much knowledge of this ? I have a system that I wish to access remotely and the company I am dealing with have told me PC anywhere is the go. The program I want to access has a large graphics display as the main interface. The problem is both the computer to access from and accessing to are both currently on dial up. The access is very slow and it is easier for me to drive to the computer I am trying to access than do it using PC anywhere. Company X have told me that boradband would speed up this process but they have tried wireless at my end with normal broadband at their end and that made no difference. They tell me normal boradband is the answer but it is too costly to set up for a demo. Why would "normal" broadband make a difference and does anybody know any other reason it may not be working well ? jonp (7517)

I don't know much about remote desktops on Windows but the main restriction on remote desktop responsiveness is network latency. Dialup has quite high (poor) latency and wireless internet services tend to be even worse. ADSL broadband has lower latency than either of these and should be preferred for this purpose.
