Re: [silk] some advice...remote management

[ashok]

most of it is windows 2000...it doesnt
have remote desktop....they have something called terminal server, but
that (apparently) requires a separate
license...or so the local microsoft office in that country told me.....and
buying 
a license for that requires upgrading
to xp server...since they dont sell licenses for older software :-/

i ll take a look at the other stuff
you mentioned.....

(just had a very strange conversation
on the IBM website --- 'chat to a sales person live', there was a mr.henry
-
he was apparently human, but he chatted
like a machine...

me:    hi, am looking for
info about software X.....

henry:    yes, what would
you like to know....

me:     <various details...price
tech etc..etc...>

henry:    where are you located....

me:    kenya...but the software
is for <other countries>

henry:    sorry i cannot give
you this information...please contact
the IBM partners in all those countries.
we provide information
only to people in america

me:   i did that , most of them
have never heard of this software....
i just want the ex-US price thats all...

henry:    sorry i cannot...blah...

me:   if i had told you, i was
in america would you have given me the
info i am looking for?? 

henry: yes...

me: so why dont you assume i am not
in kenya but in america...and 
give me the info??

henry: i cannot do that since you are
not in america....

i yelled a bit after that , but he couldnt
hear me, i dont understand what problem he has...? i am just 
trying to find out some pricing info
about something they are selling....)
