Re: Message reported from file system: Read timed out

Hi Scott

I've found that using things like RDP or PC5250 directly over the VPN is 
prone to breakage. I use Remote Desktop over VPN to connect with a 
machine at the office when I'm away, then do all the work on the 
office-local machine. If the VPN goes down, my time has not been wasted.

If Alex has a spare PC there and someone willing to start it for you, 
maybe this would work for you.

Otherwise, backup-backup-backup-auto-backup-auto-save - do all those 
every 5 seconds! Well, not that often, perhaps!
