Hi, Yes, in most cases to work from home dialing into a corporate system you would use remote desktop, and would need to buy a Jaws remote access license. Jaws would also need to be installed onto the remote desktop server, which would host the desktops. We have a similar environment at work, a desktop server hosting remote desktops for VPN use, and for some secure environments where a real desktop is not allowed in the environment. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stanzel, Susan - Kansas City, MO Sent: 01 October 2008 17:18 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Jaws ten special feature Hi Everyone, I have been following this thread. To work from home with a portable computer would I use remote desktop and do I need to buy something so I can telework?

It does not allow the user who is on the remote machine to see what is going on, as it runs a separate desktop process on the remote system. In XP Professional, only one user can be using the machine, either via local (i.e, in front of the machine), or via remote desktop. So, if I was on your machine via remote desktop, you couldn't use it. Jaws Tandem on the other hand, allows you to work together co-operatively to see what is going on on the machine. The user at the remote end can see/hear what is going on, as well as the person in front of the machine. The connection connects you to the current desktop, not a separate desktop as in Microsoft Remote Desktop. MS Remote desktop requires a Jaws remote license, where as Tandem is free for the moment. I would use Remote Desktop in more of a business situation, when administering a server or connecting to a secure/managed desktop environment. It is not a support tool really. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Brian Lingard Sent: Wed 01/10/2008 16:44 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Jaws ten special feature Ottawa Canada Dear George and List: What does FS Tandem do that MS Remote Access doesn't? You've got me curious. My ISP uses a plug-in from Logmein123.com to provide remote access to my PC. It didn't seem to mess up Jaws either. Brian Brian K.
