Jim,
The following is true for Remote Desktop from Windows. I have not used the IBM
client you spoke of. And I have not used any other technologies Sina and
others have spoken of in other threads.
For JAWS you will need "Remote Access" enabled for your JAWS serial #. You can
verify if your serial # has it enabled or not by going to FSActivate.com, click
on the button to start activation, then click on the link to verify the
information for your serial #. Enter your serial #, submit the form and you
will be given the authorization info for JAWS. Check out the table, "Remote
Access" is towards the end of the table.
If you do have remote access, then the server you wish to connect needs to have
JAWS installed on it as well, with JAWS remote server checked off at time of
installation.
Then when you remote into the box, you should be able to start JAWS.
Basically the JAWS on the server will send text strings back to your computers
version of JAWS which will automatically speak the information.
HTH.
-Rodney

Subject: Setting Up JAWS With VMWare Server
Hi,
I don't have much of a clue about this. I'm hoping someone gives me one or
two.
A tech person was here this morning trying to help me see if I could run
JAWS against a computer with VMWare server on it. We were using Host On
Demand from IBM to connect to the machine with VMWare Server. It appeared
that JAWS was seeing the machine as one big window to me. I'm not sure what
advise to give about how to make this work. I was looking in the archives
of the list, but it seemed to me that most of the content there was talking
about some sort of VMWare client. How does this stuff fit together and what
information do I need from the tech people to pass on to someone out here
who may have a chance at pointing me to where I need to go to make this
work? I heard that IBM was working on a more accessible Host On Demand
client, and I'm pretty sure we don't have the most accessible version.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
