Remote PC connection

In Reply to: Has anyone tried accessing your own home computer from a laptop remotely with PC Anywhere or similar - to work from out of town?
One of my clients allows me to remotely access their computer to obtain patient lists and transfer files. I have high-speed cable, but there is some delay when I use Word on their computer. I imagine other programs would be a bit slower as well.
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can give this a try yourself by setting up a Remote Desktop Connection. A Google search for this will give you step-by-step instructions.

Hey, my old cable remote had a remote! sm
We called it the flipper box.
Yes, it says remote.

Remote Control
AND you can keep the remote control right next to your keyboard to mute it when necessary. I think it sounds great. I might try it!
remote transcriptionists
Go to mtjobs.com. There are plenty on there.
Probably best to do remote training overall. sm
I realize you probably needed several MTs right away, but most are going to agree to remote training faster than flying somewhere. I am looking for a new job right now but I'm also still working at my old one, and need to make a living in the meantime, so it's hard enough for me to find time to test online for other places. I make the time to do so, but it often means working longer hours. There's no way I could up and leave my family to train elsewhere since my DH travels a lot. Granted, I would not have agreed to that in the first place if I knew it was not feasible and definitely wouldn't have backed out without notice. That's just wrong on the part of the MTs involved. Yes, MTs complain about MTSOs a LOT, but many don't realize just how bad some of what the MTSOs put up with can be. I've often had to fill in for others who just flaked or went missing without advance notice. IC or not, that's just bad business. If these were in-house jobs, they'd be canned.
In my job search, I've noticed a whole lot of ads now want on-site MTs and specifically say not an at-home position, and I have to wonder if it's because they've been burned by the flakes. If that's the case, then it's hurting ALL of us who wish to do this from our home offices. Whether you are MT or MTSO, you have to remember the golden rule. If you use respect and act professional, more times than not, you will in turn be treated with respect and professionalism. There will always be bad apples, in any profession, so you have to take your lumps and just move on without becoming so jaded.
Yay for this board, I don't feel so remote
I admit I leave this page open all day (addicted) and refer back, just because knowing there are fellow MTs online makes me feel like I have coworkers again! Sometimes I do get cabin fever with the only souls around me all day being my cat and dog. Wondering how everyone copes with being remote and getting cabin fever once in awhile...has anyone gotten to the point where they were either too lazy/scared to leave their house??
Remote hospital transcriptionist
Hi, I work for a 270-bed hospital in Cape Girardeau, MO and have been with them for 14 years. 9 years ago we went to at-home typing and it's been great. We have health insurance (family plan is only 105.00 a month) and you get 50% employee discount for whatever insurance doesn't pay. We get 11 cpl on a 60 character line. We can work our own hours, just have to meet a 5000 line quota per two weeks to maintain health insurance. We go on-call for a week at a time where we are available that week to type stats should there be any during the night or weekend, but we receive on call pay (an additional 220.00 that week). By looking at what some others offer I feel very fortunate to work where I do. Right now they are not hiring as we don't have a turnover. One of our girls has been there for 25+ years. Hope you find what you are looking for. They are out there if you just keep looking. Take care.
Hospitals that will hire remote MTs
Thank you, Linda. I'll check them out. :o)

I definitely will! Thanks!
Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Tell you one thing and do another once youre under lock and key. I don't trust them anymore, so I'd rather stay right where I am.
Tell that to certain tribes in remote areas of the world
Body deorating has been around about as long as man has been around. Your opinion is just that, yours, and I'm glad not to know you in person.
I live in remote area - no cable or DSL
and Clearwire is also not available. I have the satellite service. It is expensive - you have to purchase the equipment and pay for the installation ($600 and up). The service is expensive too ($65). The speed is not quite as fast as DSL, but I download and upload jobs with no problem. Some MTSOs won't allow satellite service, citing security issues, which is dumb. It's like any other wireless service - you have to make sure your signal is secure, which you do through your computer (not the service itself). Even this is ridiculous in remote areas for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't think anyone is going to bother camping out on my land or drive down my mile-long driveway with their laptop just to see if they can pick up a signal and 2) even if they did, they can only gain access to the internet itself - they can't see what you are doing online. So this security issue thing is baloney! Also, in 2004 when we were hit by Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne, there was no phone or cable service for nearly a month, but I was still able to work by just using our generator for my computer until the electric came back on - those that had dialup, DSL or cable were outta luck.
Hospitals that require remote transcriptionists
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to find hospitals that hire remote transcriptionists. I've been googling all morning, and I'm not having any luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
Have a remote garage door opener?
Could have scared the bajeebies out him by shutting it while he was in your garage. Only thing is, you'd be cleaning up bajeebies off your garage floor.
I have a dog that does a very good Tasmanian devil impression, spitting included, when people knock. The people can see her through the door and they usually leave a card or whatever they have and move out pretty quickly.
Meditech remote workstation 3? Shorthands?
The company I work for will only pay hourly for Meditech remote workstation 3 transcription becuase you can't use any shorthands in it. Is this true? It seems like an awful program that works like an old DOS-type program. I've seen other posts about Meditech and ShortHand but I'm not sure if we are just using a terribly old version or what the deal is. Can you offer any help? Thanks!
Remote 008Keylogger found constantly on my spyware.
Everytime I log onto the server for the company I work for I run my spyware. Everytime I open a job lately I have re-run my spyware and it seems to me that "008remote keylogger" is constantly on my PC. This spyware enables the "server" to see everything I type, every email, and where I go on my internet. Would anyone else be concerned?
Which TASP companies allow remote users to transcribe online?
Does anyone send Christmas cookies or presents TO your office, if you are a remote employee? sm
Just wondering if that's a weird thing to do or not.
Swiss Army Knife, steak dinner, anything remote controlled
maybe a toy remote control car or a new universal remote?
So you can work completely remote on a laptop and access your home PC with this program
please e-mail me with more info if you can. thx
West Florida Hospital is hiring for remote MT - must train on site for 90 days though. Where are you

Last year I purchased a Lasko 30" tall digital ceramic pedestal heater with remote for under (sm)
$80.00 at Home Depot. Features include: Automatic temperature control, oscillate, timer, and high (1500W) and low (900W) power settings. Assembling the base took less than 5 minutes. Kept me very warm last winter, and plan on purchasing another one for my upstairs. Cut down on my gas heating bill significantly. Great buy.
Sat connection
Satellite is more expensive than DSL or cable and not very reliable, as already mentioned.
The small hospital I work for used to have one home-based girl on satellite until DSL was finally offered in her area. It was horrible! She had to wait for the characters to catch up to her in Meditech.
Voice files using the Fusion player came over great though.
Need connection help
I am hoping someone can help. I am trying to connect to a server (new job) and the MTSO I'm working for is away for the evenig. She told me to connect by REMOTE DESKTOP to log into their server. I have no idea how to do this. Boy, do I feel dumb.
TIA.
VPN Connection
When I am working if I get a call I lose my VPN connection. After several minutes I can reconnect and pick up where I let off, most of the time. Sometimes I have to save my work and completely reboot in order to conneect. Does this happen to any one else. So annoying and time consuming.
USB connection
Sorry to be a computer dunce...and I have looked so many times on my computer, but cannot find...I need to know if most computers have more than one USB connection. I already have my foot pedal plugged into the one I could find, and would like to purchase the Sound Blaster External 24-bit Sound as recommended on this site to get better quality sound, but for the life of me, I cannot find another USB connection. Please help if you can. Thank you.
Connection might not be
the problem. This site was taken over several months ago by another organization. Have you not wondered where all the regulars went? Great new MT site...

Wal-Mart connection
My nephew has had it for 2 yrs and seems pretty happy with it, even after leaving AOL & MSN, so it seems to be decent.
No difference in them other than connection.
Some companies require a 9-pin or 15-pin, but you can get adapters to convert to USB if that is what you have.
Try Transcription Connection, Inc. sm
Located in Lynchburg, OH. Smaller company, but they have a good variety of work. Pay was a little low for me (8 cpl), but they do pay on time always every other Friday, direct deposit.
Internet connection
Does anybody use ATT/SBC DSL? If so, how is it?
I have Insight (cable), and I have a problem with no internet connections at least once every 2 weeks and thinking about switching.
Thanks!
internet connection
I have Insight, too, and I'm having a terrible time keeping connected. They have somehow, with their high-tech capabilities, discovered that I use a VPN, and now they are locking me up every document or at least every othe document! The only solution is that I'm going to have to pay business rate as opposed to consumer rate. I don't own a business, just work for an online company out of my home, but Insight doesn't care. They consider it "my" business and now I'm going to have to pay a whole lot more to keep them from locking me up.
Internet connection
Ive been using ATT/SBC DSL for a long time, long before they were bought out by AT&T and were just SBC. I love it! Wouldn't have it any other way. I RARELY have any trouble with it.
Wireless connection
Excuse if this posts twice----- I have two computers but only want my work PC wireless. Can this be done? Thanks.
how about your spiritual connection?

Yes, the net connection comes right up. Get the KVM that allows audio, too, though, so you don't

Internet Connection
My daughter and I have laptops as well and we both have cards which make them wireless. The card is not from a cell phone company it is a wireless network card that picks up a signal from a router in our home which is connected to antoher PC connected to cable/Internet connection. I believe you can get a wireless card for your laptop and then a cable which allows you to use your cell phone, though I have no idea what it costs. I have known others who have done it this way. Good luck.
Wireless connection
All the cell phone companies have mobile wireless service. You buy their PC card and sign up for their service. The service is about $50 or $60 a month where I live and you have to sign a contract for a year and only one computer can use it at a time because you have to move the card from PC to PC.
Their are also wireless networks that can run through a home PC and be routed to an unlimited number of computers in the home. This is usually through a cable company or land line phone company but you send you can't get high-speed internet where you live so that's probably not an option.
I have wireless connection
at home, so I don't think it would be a problem
Sometimes the connection to the phone is

Agree with you there.. I really don't get the connection
between AAMT and a bounty hunter as motivational speaker. You'd think that they'd come up with someone better, but I believe he lives in Hawaii so maybe it was the best deal they could get (i.e. cheapest), maybe?
Wireless connection
I have a USB wireless card through Sprint that I can use on either my laptop or desktop. Had some remote computer repairs done earlier and the tech was amazed by my connection speed, but I am only about a mile to a mile and a half from an enhanced cell tower, so distance from a cell tower will also makes a difference. Verizon also offers a similar card so you might want to check into something like that.
Hope this was helpful.
Dont see connection between this and MT.

Internet connection?
What does that have to do with anything?
Then what is her connection to the Spheris ad?
x
She has NO connection to Spheris...
she was just simply stating to Kippers that the Spheris site we've all seen may have been made by a disgruntled employee, etc. She is familiar with technology these days and how those things can happen... that is all.
when I get that message, my Internet connection is usually gone sm
I have to unplug my modem and reconnect to the Internet, but I am cable connect. Don't know if this is your problem, but has always been mine! Hope this helps
Not sure, but I'm guessing the unreliability of the connection too.
I have satellite TV, only because cable hasn't been stretched this far yet..:0 - I'll sure be going back to cable if it ever gets here..
I have a phone line though, so that means DSL is available for my internet, although I guess not even everybody can get that either.
losing internet connection off and on
Losing internet connection happened quite a bit for me. I kept calling Comcast, they said to reboot. I had a computer tech out to look at the computer and they deleted a bunch of junk and it ended up my cable modem was bad. It was 3 years old. I got a new one and it works great now.
