No, I haven't, but they offer a personal package, server and two
clients, for $25.. if I wasn't so cheap, I might even send off for it
such that I could definitely recommend it.. I do have misgivings re
it's overall usefulness however..


I've never felt that sharing a scanner was particularly valuable. Because
you have to put the document to be scanned in it, using it remotely doesn't
really work for most people. But I was curious as to what your experience
with it had been, if you had tried it. Sometimes people can find ways of
using things that those who haven't tried it haven't though iof.


I often use my scanner as a copier,
sending output directly to the printer..


So do I.


RemoteScan can't do this..


Why not? Does it say it can't, on their web site? If so, I must have missed
it.


neither can it send directly to e-mail.. I think that one would have
to have a more regular use for a scanner than somebody like me..

Where it does score highly, despite slightly reduced functionality is
price.. $25 is a whole lot less than buying individual scanners.. I am
slowly talking myself into buying the package.. I will keep you
informed.. :-)


Please do. If you get it, I'm still interested in hearing about your
experience with it.

Thanks.

Not a hope in hell to get a KVM that can do all of them.. your
printer can be networked easily enough.. scanners can too, but you
will need extra software.. http://www.remote-scan.com/


Mike, have you used this product? How well does it work? Are you
happy with it?
