Jeff, I use JAWS for remoting into my work box quite frequently. I
absolutely always have to shutdown JAWS and restart it after I remote into
the box. Then JAWS comes up in remote mode, and the "tunnel" sounds stop
and JAWS sounds just fine.
If I disconnect (not log-off) and log back in a little later, JAWS still
sounds just fine because it is still running in remote mode.
As for the keystrokes, try running your remote window maximized. Alt + F4
and Windows M will work for you then.
HTH.

I have this set up on my work machine. I find that I am unable to use
combinations of keys like [alt] [f4] and [windows] [m]. I also find that
the Jaws voice sounds like it is coming through a tunnel. Do you experience
these issues?
I spent some time with the Jaws people to try to figure this out but, with
no results.
I'm using Windows XP Pro on both sides.
Thx,
Jeff

know that NVDA doesn't do it. I don't have experience doing this with
Window-eyes. With JAWS, you have to install JAWS on the server. You can
install it without video hooks if you know you won't be physically at the
server. You have to install it on every server you will be remoting to.
