But what if no one is sitting at the remote (passive) machine?  Can you use
Tandem in this instance?

Hi,

If you look at the information on the FS site, or if you've heard the
explanations given on the FS podcasts, you'll discover that although there's

a quarterly fee for using Jaws tandem regularly, each Jaws customer is
allowed a certain number of hours monthly or quarterly (I forget the
details, sorry) to use it free of charge. As the control person, that is,
whatever the proper expression is. For the person on the passive end, the
one who doesn't initiate the connection nor control it, I'm pretty sure it's

always free.

Well, you may not want to use JAWS in remote access if you cannot afford the
JAWS Remote Access License add-on.  I think the cost of this ($150 - $300)
is a bit steep personally.

I use JAWS all the time and have the demonstration of 10 on my laptop.  Why
would you not want to use it?  JAWS is the best I think, followed by hal and
window eyes if I have to.
