[OPLINTECH] Bookmobile connectivity

[Morgan Paul]

We find it much easier to do a remote desktop connection via VPN to pc
behind our firewall in the same building as the ILS server.

Dropped connections are handled better on a pc vs a server with RDP - at
least for us.

We have some iffy areas of connection in the county and this seems to work
fairly well.

We do use Verizon aircards purchased through our government representative.
The local store stopped doing demo models without a restocking fee just over
a year ago.

Things I would look at:
* Does your ILS require a fixed IP
* Is the upload speed fast enough for live circ
* Are there dead zones where you would drop to modem speed

Just some thoughts

If you want to connect more than one computer you might want to check
out Mifi also.
