    Hello Deepak,
    I would allow such traffic but only through encrypted tunnel (VPN option or
    something) with strong authentication (tokens, snart cards), of cource if
    this application is really necessary for company operation. As far as I know
    PCAnywhare uses some kind of encryption but I do not know what exactly that
    is why I would terminate encryption on firewall. There are also other remote
    control soft for NT, for example: Computer Associates Remote Control Option.
