Thanks for the information. It occurs that most of the information provided on this list can be gotten through other means -- by reading the FS (or other manuals). A key objective of such lists is to eliminate the need to waste time pouring through lots of documentation just to answer a few simple questions; answers that some lister might know and want to share. So, not wishing to become an expert on JAWS Tandem, I chose not to read the FS manuals, and saved much time by just asking. Again, thanks for your assistance. You're such a good sport.

Tandem requires the target machine to have a user authorize access. Read the material provided by FS on these matters.

Can you use Tandem in this instance?

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas J.

I think the cost of this ($150 - $300) is a bit steep personally.

Why would you not want to use it? JAWS is the best I think, followed by hal and window eyes if I have to.
