no, they don't do a client only version. They use to do a host only version,
but I don't think you can get even that now.
The best thing about this is, the MD wants to run a critical part of our UK
financial system, on a PC in the Australia office (where he is based). With
all but one of the financial people based in the UK needing access to this
system. Although we have the 'proper' infrastructure in the UK to run this
system, and have worldwide access to the systems though Citrix (including OZ),
he wants to run this on a low end PC with PC Anywhere. I have strongly voiced
my feelings on this, as has the UK director, and the company accountant (also
based in the UK) but to no avail. So it looks like, at least in the short
term, we in the UK will be dependant on one PC running PC Anywhere in
Australia. Ideal....not.

Can't you just install the pcAnywhere client?
I haven't used it for years, but I think that used to be an option...

I need to use the remote part of PCAnywhere on the PC to connect to a PC on
the other side of the world running PC Anywhere host. I won't be using the
host part on the PC this end.
There's an idea though...If the other PC (the host) is a Windows XP PC I
could use Remote Assistance instead. Is this approach, though the internet
a recommended solution?

I'm curious as to why you would *want* PCAnywhere on XPP machines. Inbuilt
Remote Assistance no good for you?
But to answer your question, I think 9.2 is compatible with W2K but I'm not
so sure about XP - if it's a "must have" then personally I'd be sure to go
for a version that I *know* is compatible - you know how fussy XP can be :)
