Introducing the Software 2-9
Remote Control — gives you access and control over a remote computer.
Activity you perform on a local system, such as keystrokes, file access
and change, and program execution, actually occurs on the remote
system.
Chat — provides a way for you to exchange information, instructions, or
other messages with a user at a remote computer.
LapLink software must be loaded on both the sending (local) and receiving
(remote) systems for communication between them to work properly.
