Hi bitrate,

I do not really know logmein.com but here are my reasons why I do not use such services:
1. is there a client for any device I need?
2. how secure is the service (which protocols/ports, how about hacker)?
3. why should I install a special application if there are some standard apps which do the same?
4. can I access a whole network or only a single computer?
5. Do I need to install any server application?
6. How fault tolerant is such a service (if logmein.com is down ;-((
7. Do I really trust such a (often free) service / team?


For example one or more of the apps und protocols I use are available for:
- Windows 95 - Vista
- Linux (and every linux pda)
- Mac OS X
- Symbian (Nokia Mobile Phones)
- Windows Mobile
...
Like that I use my Powerbook from home, my Mobile Phone or my Nokia 770 when I'm out and everytime it's the same workaround.

One more thing if you have a dynamic ip, you could use dyndns.com to "find" your home network. Like that you do not need any other service provider.
