Pat is referring to "terminal services," apparently the technical term for
remote access. If you missed the message Pat posted last night, which I
think you will find helpful, here's a copy:
It is true that both computers need to have Jaws installed, but only the
home side of the connection needs to have an up to date authorization; Jaws
gets its authorization from the client side of the connection in most
home/work setups.
Your issue probably has more to do with the configuration of the office
computer. In particular, your friend needs to shut down Jaws when she leaves
the office to permit the remote Jaws connection to start properly. In
addition, Jaws should not be configured to start automatically on the work
computer. Instead, there should be a shortcut in the Startup folder in the
Program folder under the Start menu for the user account. Then when your
friend connects from home (and logs in), Jaws will start up, just like any
other program with a shortcut in the Startupfolder for the user.
This stuff can get pretty tricky during the initial setup, even for
experienced IT personnel, mainly due to the startup configuration and fact
that Jaws gets its authorization from the client side of the connection.
I recommend contacting FS support so they can walk your friend (and possibly
IT) through the process. In addition, the Jaws help devotes an entire book
to the Remote access topic. As I said, it can be tricky to set up, but once
it is done, it works quite well.

Pat,
What is TS? I just got remote license and learning how to use it.
Also where can I get TS?
Peace of the Lord be with you!

Alex,
Actually I have a quite different impression of Terminal Services and Jaws.
There are some limitations, but in my case, I have been using it for several
years in a professional work environment and have found it quite functional.
There are a lot of things to get used to, but I use TS to connect to a
corporate network every day and access both servers and workstations where
Jaws has been installed. I am not familiar with other screenreaders and
their useability with TS. But I would not discourage potential TS users from
using Jaws to extend their "work from home" options.
Pat

Chris, we use terminal services at work with Jaws, and it stinks to high
heaven.

Again you are correct. You must be running Remote Desktop, Terminal Services
or Citrix. Remote Desktop/Terminal Services are built into Windows; Citrix I
am not sure. Probably something you have to pay for.
