I say reasonable amount of success purely because I don't use it very often, but everytime I've needed it it works. It does require instigating by an end user (i.e. they ask for help) which is different to having full access as and when you want it, but if you are just supporting your brother, it could be ideal. If you do want access anytime, then +1 to the ssh option mentioned later in the thread to where I have replied from. Steve Garton sheepeatingtaz.co.uk
