I have not used either GatherPlace or GoToMeeting. My needs are more along the line of connecting to a client PC, which is real challenging if they do not have a VPN set up or understand how to do IP Forwarding. I have barked off in the past about www.logmein.com, and still find it very capable, and priced right at FREE for their light version (which is plenty capable).
Having said that, I have been wanting to look at various solutions that would let folks look at my system for training purposes, and the GatherPlace looks like it is just the ticket. Malcolm, thank you for sharing that info, even if it was with the intention of gathering more info for yourself. I will be watching for responses from others along with you <g>...
