Hey there, I'm interested in working fewer days from the office, and more days from home. I'd love to figure out how to access my work pc from home, and vice versa. Does anyone in the group have ideas about how I might pull this off without hauling a pc back and forth?

Thanks!

I've had really good luck with LogMeIn and just recently they got a partnership with PhoneFactor, which will allow you to have a stronger authentication.

Our company uses phonefactor along with LMI. We usually get a phonecall when we are trying to log into our remote computers. We had tokens before but this is way more efficient, cheaper and better!!!

Usually? I hope the answer is always. I've heard of PhoneFactor but I'm having a hard time envisioning how it works. Could you help me understand? Is someone placing a call to me? And what are they asking me? Some information like my eye-color?

Hey Kumar,

Phone factor works like this: you enter the
correct user name and password for a login
secured by PhoneFactor. You immediately get a
call from PhoneFactor asking you to press the
pound key on your cell or land phone. The
number the call is determined by you.

Press the button a voila your in. It's really
easy to implement with LogMeIn and it's got
that wow factor the first time you try it.

There is a demo over at www.phonefactor.com
which you can use without installing any
software try it.

with a wicked little notion that flits about the back of my mind since I read yours. It just won't make concrete, phooey. ;)
