Hi Gustav: It looks like that may be the best quick answer. As for any large sites maybe a OpenVPN server (http://openvpn.net) on the client's server may be the best long term answer and from there, I can just RDP in or connect via the shares to all the stations.

And they even feature a Windows Phone app. I like that, though I'll probably never use it. /gustav >>> gustav at cactus.dk 25-01-14 20:12 >>> Hi Jim Splashtop works across firewalls if you sign up for the web access option. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 25-01-14 19:30 >>> Hi Gustav: I found out the LogMeIn was dead when my client told me it wasn't working...very upsetting and to my way of thinking not very unprofessional. It will be a while before I will endorse the product again, if ever. I had initially been interested in Splashtop remote, but according to the attached article there may be issues with firewalls and therefore routers? This will require further investigation. Splashtop remote is supposed to be very fast and also runs on all platforms so I have not abandoned its potential use yet. Teamviewer might be the more appropriate choice...any thoughts?

Sorry, this is not a way to address loyal users. We're off. I'm quite sure the competion will know how to not pertinently address loyal users. Even after 30 years in this business, the way suppliers can address customers still surprises me. Some people are not educated, I've realized, or just plain stupid. </quote> Now, what was the name of the very interesting newcomer, you told about not so long ago, please? /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 25-01-14 18:34 >>> Hi All: Well the truth is LogMeIn is still there but now the model is pay-as-you-go. Today I will be running around to a couple of clients and replacing their remote products...but I still have not decided which one is best. I am sort of leaning towards Splashtop Remote...any thought? http://www.infoworld.com/t/free-tools/locked-out-of-logmein-check-out-these-free-alternatives-234812 Jim _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
