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?

Hi,
MS Remote desktop/Citrix are designed to allow a user to use a machine
as a dumb terminal, and access the remote machine and run programs on
it. 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.

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.
