Exactly. However I once had the soft token, but in my latest setup they just simplified things and gave me a hard-coded 5-digit pin to use. Much easier and perhaps almost as secure, since it's easy to memorize. Maybe your IT group will consider that for you, as well. As to using other network resources, VPN affects XP differently from Windows 7. In XP I had to always disconnect VPN before I could use my local printer, or any of my networked drives on my local network (these all outside the VPN). However Windows 7 allows these to get through now and it's so much easier. And I concur that JAWS is not affected in any way, as long as its installed on the local computer. I don't know what would happen if JAWS were to be installed on the network and required to use VPN to get at it. Anyone else have an opinion on that? turn off has a couple different Dave Carlson Tastefully composed and launched near the Pacific Ocean using a Dell Latitude E6520, JAWS 13.0.718, and Windows 7 Professional 32-bit ----- Original Message -----

It a connectivity tool used by many organizations. I use that connection when I work from home. I have no problems with it, I have all my applications on my local machine and I have full access to my network drives. The one area that can be a problem is the logon method. We use RSA Security. There is a hardware token [its like a little calculator looking] version which is totally inaccessable. I use a "soft token" this is a software version of the hardware token and is with some jaws scripting it is usable. Regards Tom Bisset -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...
