I was telling a friend that I was going to buy a program similar to PC Anywhere to be able to communicate between my computer at home and the one at the office. He suggested trying to find a similar program which includes encryption. Anyone know of such a program?

I'd use: Linux + ssh + dosemu You can run your text-based messy-dos programs remotely; I do it all the time. If your work computer is not on a tcp/ip network already, then you'll need to use slip/ppp over the modem, which isn't hard. Just read the dip manual and/or pppd man page, it tells you how to set up a slip/ppp account. Ssh takes care of all the encryption for your logins and file transfers (scp).
