I would like to use the Alix box along with TeamViewer as a gateway into my network. I've tried TeamViewer on a windoze box and it works well, but the windoze box failed so I thought I would try the Alix board. I did consider a Raspberry Pi, but TeamViewer wont run on a Pi. Once I can gain access into my network I can then use SSH to monitor the points I want to see. David.
