The software works- but for the money you can get better. I would try TeamViewer first to see if that doesn't answer your needs.
Also, Netopia is doing it all wrong. Charge your fee for the product but end it there. Cost for this and cost for that will sink your boat. Value added will mean free support of your product for all items in the future- get on board and you'll be guaranteed a place in the enterprise- We stopped doing business with you because of the fees involved. Now- don't bother asking for meetings.. Our belts are tight as are those of others. But what's tens of thousands of licensed seats worth to you? Nothing right? Bah. Now I'm getting angry again.

Who on earth is running Nutopia? - Version: 8.7, 12/29/2007 04:29AM PST

I purchased the 8.7 update Saturday 12/29/2007 but the download link (along with the user name and password that I received from Netopia) did not work. This is very frustrating since it appears that there have been download link problems since it's release several months ago
What's even more crazy is that there is publicly accessible evaluation copy that you can download for free and activate with your old 8.6 activation key. And if you are running Windows XP...no activation key is even required. WTF? I guess they do not trust Mac users. :)

Also, why is the Mac version serialized, but the PC version isn't? Mac uses are dishonest, and the PC users aren't?
What about that there still isn't a Vista compatible version availble after over a year?! Yeah, 8.6 sorta runs (32 bit only), but you can uninstall it, and you have to change a bunch of stuff in Vista to get it to work. Oh, and 8.6.6 doesn't work, you have to use 8.6.0 and only that exact version. Pretty sad....
Like I said in the title, the software is great. The management of the company is obviously lacking.
Oh yeah, to save others the trouble of calling, here is a link to 8.7.1. I hope it saves you the frustration.
