Jonathan,

The offering of standalone access anywhere is new so I am not sure if
UK office has latest information. Check out the web site
http://www.webex.com/go?accessone
It gives a lot of information. Let me know what kind of information
you need that are not there.

Yes. You can work directory on the remote copy. You can also work on
the local copy and transfer it between your local machine and remote
machine. Actually, what I usually do is do majority of editing on the
local machine, and then transfer it to remote machine and if I have a
last minute edit, I can just edit on the remote machine.

Actually I found one unexpected benefit of editing on the remote
machine. I was in China this summer and I was editing a document using
access anywhere. And suddenly the power went out. I was panic for a
moment. When the power came back on, I log back on to remote computer,
I went back to exactly where I was.

Pretty cool.

Jason
