Hi Nicholas,

I've been using IP.Remote (the home edition of IP.Networking) for two years
now and it's been pretty good.

I've had my fair share of problems (ADSL router in the office looses it's
routing table about once every 8 months), the RADIUS server has forgotten
who I am a couple of times. I've also been in three houses (Ellerslie, One
Tree Hill and Mt Wellington) and only Ellerslie gave me full speed with long
up times. Mt Wellington has been the worst, until recently (two days ago) I
was lucky to get 15 minutes uptime. But I'm working with Telecom on that.

The biggest letdown has been the rate limiting. The office end is limited
to 512Kb/s (for cost reasons and it would be limited by the speed of the
back channel anyway). However this will change when we move our WAN to
Telecom's NGN (New Generation Network), which will give me 100Mbit/s (or at
least whatever my ADSL connection is actually capable of: ~4000|700Kb/s
today).

But the networking itself has been good, you just have to get used to
working through NAT.

Later'ish
Craig
