use own systems, e.g. remotely access laptop in office when @ home, or vice versa. has advantage not require fiddle firewall ports , not.


edit #2:

teamviewer has bookmark mechanism: call "partner list". have create free account web site. can use login in teamviewer client , bookmark used connections. can set client doesn't generate new user id's , new numbers each time login (... slight bit of security risk imho; again should obvious should never ever show or give numbers ...). bookmarks in "partner list" can reconnect connected hosts whenever need to. in 'partner list' have added own systems don't have bother memorizing numerical id's , passwords ... click on 1 of systems in list .... , taaadaaaa ... i'm connected.
