RE: Operations Console/Remote Control Panel

Glenn,

Another option to consider is PC Anywhere or a product like it. This product
allows you to use passwords encrypted over the LAN or a phone line at the
application level. It will take complete control over the PC on the other end
(your client access console). I currently use this and am very happy with it. It
is easy to setup and even more easy to use.

Thanks Dave,

I appreciate your detailed response.  This does sound like a good product, my
only concern is the security issue.  We have our own internal network and I
would have been more comfortable using the LAN or carving out some bandwidth for
a leased line.

Just to clarify, what does the remote user at the RCS need to do to access the
LCS in unattended mode (i.e. first invoke RSC client, then enter a DST password,
then enter NT userid and password).  I'm trying to assess if this will be
considered 'secure' enough to satisfy our internal audit and data security
folks.  What's your opinion regarding the security in your current dialup
configuration?  Do you think that this setup is unique enough to not worry about
hackers trying to get past the password security?

In past lives, this would have saved me many trips to an unattended computer I
was managing.  It was almost an hour's drive one way  from my home.  But that
was back before this was an option, in the V3R7 days, circa 1997 ......

Thanks again for the help,
Glenn
