We are getting many emails and inquiries about the PC remote. Here is the breakdown.

PC Remote is a commercial add-on to the Untangle platform that enables administrators to connect remotely to hosts on their networks. PC Remote makes it easy for administrators to:

* Provide off-site helpdesk support and troubleshooting

* Scan quickly for desktops and servers on the network

* Connect to desktops & servers w/o installing any software

PC remote is the network administrators best friend. Your users need help on their desktops but you're stuck out of the office... PC Remote's got you covered! With PC Remote administrators, consultants and managed service providers can connect and literally take over their users' desktops. And setup is a breeze because PC Remote connects seamlessly with RDP enabled (XP Pro & Vista) and VNC enabled (Ubuntu) systems.

Does the remote come with batteries? If not, what size does it take.

Also, can you post a picture of the actual remote that we will receive once purchased?

Last question.

Can I use my Universal remote instead so I don't have to carry around so many remotes?

Silver Bullet · 05-13-2008, 11:56 AM

This really is the last question...

How do you guys get the infrared signal to travel sooo far?

gotkimchi · 05-13-2008, 11:58 AM

LoL, I think it comes with this...

gotkimchi · 05-13-2008, 12:04 PM

My favorite remote, saving my money until I can afford this...or maybe with my rebate check. (jk)

Silver Bullet,

Look for a totally twisted PM you may or may not appreciate.

Well I have to say, that is a little more compact than my current remote.
