If you're the kind of person who suffers from panic attacks when you'restuck in an airport or at a three-day self-improvement workshop without atelephone outlet to enable Internet access, QuickLink Mobile 2000 could be yoursecret lifesaver. Connect your laptop to your wireless phone, and in no timeyou'll be checking stock quotes and sports scores from anywhere, at any time.

While installation of QuickLink Mobile 2000 might be a quick and easy process,you should make sure that your phone is compatible with the program before youpurchase the software. You can verify this by going to www.ql2k.com and viewingan updated list of compatible phones. If your type of phone is on the list, youcan sign up to receive a free cable to connect your cell phone to your laptopserial port (Ours took less than a week to arrive).You might want to do this as soon as you purchase the software, so that you don't have to wait too longto get started with the application. If your type of phone is not on the list,QuickLink has a customer service number for you to call; however, it'sprobably better to find a different application, or upgrade to a data-enabledphone.

After you've configured your dial-up networking and created an account for yourwireless phone, you're ready to dial-up. After you've connected to the Internet,you can surf the Web, check e-mail, and keep on top of the day's headlines. Onefeature that we liked especially was the Wireless Internet Accelerator, whichallowed us to filter Web graphics and speed up connection times. In addition,you have the option to preview e-mail messages, so that you can read theirheaders without downloading the entire message--again, saving precious memory.The application even includes QuickLink Fax 2000, which allows you to send andreceive faxes by using your cell phone.

QuickLink Mobile 2000 also includes monitoring features to help you control yourcellular Internet usage. However, keep in mind that surfing the Web with yourcell phone can eat away at cellular time and battery life quickly. Still, ifyou're always on the go and can't live without your Internet fix, QuickLinkMobile 2000 will keep you connected when you need it the most. --GiseleToueg ... Read more

Still plan to use this software, but...
This software is great, it is fast, and I can transfer files between two machines, but if you are on a budget though, check in to VNC - Virtual Network Client. It provides the ability to remotely view another computer (platform independent) from your machine.

Using VNC I can log in to my Linux and Windows XP machines from MacOS X. There seems to be a performance hit, not sure why though. It isn't as polished as Timbuktu, but it works, and VNC is open source.

the best for both worlds
I had a chance to evaluate this product to connect my office mac computers to my home pc using dial up telephone line. This product is amazing. I could work from home on my office mac using my home pc. It is very simple and easy to use that a computer dumb like me can install it and have it running in no time. Netopia has very prompt technical support for free as well to get you started. I will highly recommend this product to any one who has to work with both kinds of computers. ... Read more

No more worrying about "Do I have all the documents I need?"
This and other remote control products are tremendously liberating for those that work in the office and at home. With this twin-pack you install the software on your office machine and your home machine, which allows youto virtually "drive" your office computer from home, or viceversa.

What I really like about the package is that I never have tothink "what files should I take home with me to work on?"Invariably, you'd forget a key file or two, which totally destroys yourproductivity at home. With Timbuktu, you don't even ask this question, youjust go home. At home you dial-up your office machine and work virtually onit or pull whatever file you needed down to your home machine, work, andthen re-upload it. This package is also great if a collegue calls and says"I desperately need that document off your hard-drive." No needto go into work. Timbuktu in, virtually control your machine, and send thefile. Fantastic. ... Read more
