Binary Research International Remotely Anywhere


Remotely Anywhere was a big surprise in a small package. Like Altiris' Carbon Copy and uRoam's FirePass, RA is a Web-based remote-control solution. But unlike Carbon Copy, RA does not require a client-server architecture, and unlike uRoam, it does not come in an appliance or provide remote control, FTP, SSH or telnet servers.

All RA services can be accessed from an HTML interface that supports Java and Java script (Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, Netscape 6.2 or higher). It was second only to uRoam for the smallest memory usage while remote control was active (6,860 KB) and detected communication problems within 34 seconds.
