[comp.protocols.appletalk] Remote Backups & Access over LocalTalk

fc156111@seas.gwu.edu (Timothy A. Waire Jr.) (10/17/90)

My organization is looking into a couple of new products for our LocalTalk/
EtherTalk network.  We want suggestions on how to accomplish the following
two tasks:

    Remote Backups - We want to completely automate this process.  We have a 
      Microtech Optical Drive to use as the destination volume.  Some people
      have suggested Restrospect Remote, we are interested in hearing any
      comments on this package or an alternative.

    Remote Access - Looking for an application that lets us remotely control
      a users Macintosh from a central location.  Suggestions so far have been
      to use Timbuktu.  If anyone is currently using the product we would love
      to hear from you or others can suggest alternatives.

Our net consist of Mac IIs and SE/30s (approximately 30).

Thanx!
