Does anyone know if it's possible to run PC-Anywhere on a Linux / SuSE Linux platform?

I'm a Senior Unix Admin / Applications Engineer, and I've been running VMWare inside of SuSE for years now...

But, every time I update the Linux distro, I end up having to recompile the source code, so that VMWare will work with the new kernel...

I just recently upgraded to the latest 8.2 version of SuSE, but am having problems with the licensed version of VMWare that I'm using...

If wine was able to run PCAnywhere, then I could forget about the entire Windows environment at home...

I MUST have connectivity to my Windows PC at work, and must be able to view and work with my work PC's desktop environment...

Currently, I can connect to work via a secure Linux tunnel, connecting directly with my Unix servers, but there is data on my work PC, that I must be able to view...

I can also connect to work via my Windows client, under VMWare, inside of the Linux host, where I can control, view and work with my work PC...

This is important for several reasons...

1) There's Outlook mail on my PC, that I must have access to...

2) There are Excel spreadsheets that I must have access to...

3) The application that I'm working with has a GUI that is only supported on Windows platforms, as it downloads and updates a java client every time it connects...

I've already tried to connect to this java client via Linux, and it simply will not negotiate the java client connection...

I must be able to run the client GUI, either from my work PC, or from a Windows machine here at home... (NOTE: The home Windows machine can be free-standing or a VMWare client...)
 
Why not use VNC? The VNC server and client is free, and there are plenty of Linux ports available.

NetOp runs on Linux (I believe).
