Platform differences
Several differences exist in how pcAnywhere Solution operates on the Windows,
Linux, and Macintosh platforms. For example, the Windows platform uses a mirror
driver.
For authentication on the Linux and the Macintosh platforms, you cannot have
more than one caller at a time if the authentication type is pcAnywhere.
For the Linux and the Macintosh platforms, the Host window is always hidden
from the user.
See
“Setting platform-specific configuration options”
on page 17.
