Hi, here's what I found, from the JAWS 9 help system. Overview of JAWS Remote Access Remote access software, like Citrix Program Neighborhood and Remote Desktop Connection, allows you to establish a connection from your computer (called the "client") to another computer (called the "server"). Once connected, you can run programs and view files just as if you were sitting at the server's keyboard. The server handles all processing and data storage tasks. The client computer acts as an intermediary between you and the server, relaying your commands and displaying the results.
Visually, users see a graphical representation of the server's desktop on their client computer. However, the version of JAWS installed on the client cannot read or interact with this image. With JAWS remote access, you install a version of JAWS on the server to provide speech and braille access to programs you use while in a terminal session. The version of JAWS installed on the server sends the output to the client through a virtual channel. The version of JAWS installed on the client computer then relays this output to the user through a synthesizer and/or braille display.
The Remote Access feature is only available for licenses of JAWS Professional that use Internet License Manager (ILM) or Dongle authorization. The Remote Access feature must be purchased separately. Contact Freedom Scientific Sales for more information.
Note: You cannot use the thumb drive version of JAWS in terminal sessions. You must actually install a full non-thumb drive version of JAWS on the Client prior to attempting a terminal or remote session.
You do not need to purchase the Remote Access option for your license in order to use PAC Mate Desktop.

Chris,If you want to find out what types of remote access you have with JAWS, go to the Help Topics in the JAWS Help menu, and Control+Tab to the Index page. Type the word remote into the edit field, and then read the topics found by your search. If you decide you really need remote access, be prepared to purchase JAWS Pro and then pay $200 extra for the privilege.Gary King w4wkz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <jaws-users-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 3:31 PM Subject: Remote Assistance working with JAWS, true or false?Hi all, is it true that JFW works with the remote assistance feature of MSN/Windows Live Messenger? If so how did you all get it to work? Now I'm on high speed broadband this would be a good thing to do, especially if I can help my friends out remotely.
