Note:
For the installation of the software you need administrator authorization on the

target computer.
Several applications running in parallel, reduce the performance and operability.

Especially customer applications, exchanging standard system components

(drivers) in order to improve their own performance, may have a strong influence
on the communication performance or even render normal use impossible.
Operation under virtual machines such as Vware Workstation 6/ MS Virtual PC is

not possible.
Onboard graphics card solutions reduce the system performance by up to 20%

and cannot be recommended.
Operation with notebooks in current-saving mode may lead, in individual cases,

to communication problems.
