Cox Latest To Dump Free Usenet Access

I like how they say they are ditching free access instead of saying that they are removing part of the service that are paying for and not reducing your bill.

Just switched to them after my longtime usenet server (news.individual.net) started getting really flakey. So far I'm very happy with the service, and it's free!

Have a look at this. The full version is free...

TeamViewer connects to any PC or server around the world within a few seconds. You can remote control your partner's PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. Find out why more than 60 million users trust TeamViewer!

If you simply must, use Agent and a news server like giganews. My old agent 1.91 program runs as an EXE (as opposed to being "installed") so you can carry the whole thing on a thumb drive and run it on any machine you plug it into. When you pull out the thumb drive, nothing remains on their machine. It all goes with you.

"Forté is pleased to introduce the new Free Agent and Agent T-Shirts. If you like the software, you'll love the shirts! These T-Shirts are currently available for an introductory price of just $14.95 (U.S.) plus shipping/handling. All T-Shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton"

v.1.5 IS the best ..

TeamViewer is very good, but has, for some, an important drawback: It's not free for commercial use.

A better choice is Mikogo:

• Free for ANY use,
• Active and server users can interchange control,
• Up to eight viewers can connect simultaneously to facilitate training or demonstration, and, best of all,
• Requires that the remote site install NOTHING on their computer! They simply access the Mikogo web site.

For our technical support, we ask our user to go to the Mikogo web site (using Internet Explorer, Firefox, whatever) and enter the nine-digit code we supply. PRESTO! We're in control of their computer. By entering a couple of commands, the remote user can even control OUR computer.

I've been using individual.net for five or six years (started when they were free) and have never hand any issues with them. In fact, their customer service is superb.

I'll have to take a look at them. Not sure how they work though a few firewalls at each end, but worth a look.
