Re: Remote control of Windows PC

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

VNC.  The sys admin (boss's son) installed it for me on my PC while I was
out one day so I don't know a lot about the details, just how to use it to
connect to one of our retail store's PC (which run Client Access to connect
to the System i sitting next to me).  My understanding (which could be
wrong) is that something has to be set up on the PC to which I'm connecting,
which makes sense, anyway.

Hi Jerry,

Are you referring to VNC or GotoMyPC?
