So today, I was handed the order by upper management to set up 'WeApp' for the engineers to use so they can communicate with some Chinese suppliers.

What is it? NetworkingĪfter living in my house for 15 years, I decided to look closely at a cable that runs between the house and a detached garage. The cause of my one and only Y2K issue - there was a rather hasty patch issued on the 2nd of January IIRC. Between RAS and ZetaFAX, serial communications was one BIG vector for NT infecting business networks.ĭid I mention I hate serial communications?ĭid I mention I hate serial communications?Ooh, ZetaFAX. ZetaFAX was a kind of hacked up Win16 port to NT, but it worked GREAT. ArcSwerve made a FAX product called ArcFAX, it sucked and caused ABENDs in addition to being expensive. Just so you understand, NetWare Connect was hideously expensive and sucked.

I would look to them FIRST for pretty much anything they sell. I had a DigiBoard in a RAS server in the mid-90's, NT 3.51 days, 8 28.8K USR's FOR FREE (the RAS server software capability, that is) on a NetWare LAN. Digi is THE serial company, and I HATE serial communications.

We use USBanywhere for exactly this purpose at our office, been working great for the last three years.ĪlexThat's exactly the link I just copied to paste into this thread, good call. Thirty minutes can be a long time to have a door not open or a camera go offline - especially in a jail. If a hardware failure happened, I'm aiming to reduce the RTO time from 30 minutes (to restore the install to a repaired/new workstation) to 5 minutes (to turn on the VM). I want the Win to run as a VM so I can take advantage of replication. Probably got complaints from customers like me.That would be a great way to run vm's in an HA or DRS cluster, but you should be able to use USB devices on the latest versions of ESXi.This install would be Hyper-V on the physical workstation with Windows running as a VM. Looks like this product is 'associated' with the company that makes the keys. I'd like to virtualize the workstation that's running it so I can insulate myself from host failure. I have some proprietary security software (door control, camera control, and so on) that requires a USB dongle key to run. Is this an attempt to use HA and DRS with usb dongles? I've had success using usb dongles on ESXi hosts, only caveat being I had to keep the vm pinned to that host.
