 Best product on the market for remote control and file acces, 2001-12-04
Not only did I get remote control on an XP box BEHIND A FIREWALL, I can access files remotely from Laplink's Surfup service. Service is the key word here, I don't know any other place offering network services when you buy their off-the-shelf product. Laplink runs an ILS server so I can connect to my Laplink PC from anywhere on the Internet, and they run a firewall service so I can get to my home PC - behind a firewall. It's as easy as checking a box and creating a login-entry.AND they have a Surfup web service so i can access files VIA A WEB BROWSER from anywhere ! Beat THAT ! It's simple, it works, I love it.

I have Laplink versions on several systems now..., 2001-05-26
and have been using it for years with zero problems.Remote control works fine, even over lousy 20K connections, and the "speedsync" feature makes it practical to transfer files in bulk over standard phone lines. I routinely use it to make "service calls" without leaving my desk, and to perform periodic incremental backups of remote computers. The software's actually overkill for simple "same room" file transfers on Win 9x+ systems, but for a complete remote access package, this is hard to beat.

It works for me--that's all I ask!, 2001-05-17
I have a Compaq Armada Pentium 1590DMT (150 mHz) laptop with 80 MB RAM, and my desktop is an AMD-K6-2 (350 mHz)with 64 MB RAM. Both machines have the Windows ME operating system. They link together with no problem at all using LapLink. I use the parallel ports for the link. I've never had a problem, and the application works exactly as advertised. That's all you can ask of a product. Joseph H. Pierre

Easiest communications package to use, 2001-05-09
I had used PCanywhere for a number of years, but find that product to be inferior in its connections. LapLink is very easy to install and use. Had absolutely no problems in transferring files or using remote control.

 Laplink, the Long Downward Spiral, 2001-04-04
Laplink was the first to offer travellers dos software to transfer files from laptop to desktop and make backup up disks that were clones of the main hard drive. In addition, the dos version had a batch file function which could be used to backup only selected files. It ran flawlessly. Laplink 2000 and now, Laplink Gold,unfortunately are not worthy successors to the dos version. My experience is with Win98 and Laplink 2000 and Gold seem to have problems with it. The clone folder function causes fatal errors. Attempts to get help from Laplink support have come to naught. They haven't even bothered to answer my last email.
