Our solution was to load Hummingbird's (Exceed) on a Terminal Server
(Citrix) and then dialin to the Terminal server to launch Netview.   Very
fast over a 56k modem line.


Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

I am currently being tasked with coming up with a remote access solution for
our network support group.  My first suggestion was load X-Windows Server
software on a laptop and the on-call person can take the laptop home and
dial-up for remote access.  Unfortunately when I tried it, it takes on the
order of about 15 minutes before NetView is actually usable when dialing up.
What I mean by usable is that you can actually look at the event log see
what is down, etc.

The next solution seems to be web access (which I haven't tried remotely,
yet).  It looks like you have to have a read-write map open to do this.
Which is fine during the day, but at night the desktop people want everyone
to log out (which then kills the web session).

Is anyone doing some type of remote access for their administrators?
Is there anyway around the read-write map access? What about in version 6?
What about 3rd party?

Thanks,

Patrick
