[Athen] zoomtext network version

[Sesock, Kevin A]

We ran into this exact same issue with ZoomText network version and all
of our Freedom Scientific products. Therefore, we created a simple,
accessible authentication system (utilizing a VPN solution for
individuals that are off-campus or otherwise not as connected). The
solution is called the AT Loader, and you're welcome to take a look at
it on our website:

http://access.it.okstate.edu/content/view/17/34/

It's an open source solution and freely downloadable, so feel free to
use or modify to your heart's content.

We have implemented the network version of ZoomText here at MSU. You are
correct in that this version requires a network folder connection to
function properly. This is a problem not only for clients that are not
in the same domain, but also for semi-independent clients such as
laptops. We are working with AISquaired to help them see this as a
problem. In an ideal world they would implement a setup such as Kurzweil
3000. This setup has the network clients attached through a TCP port
(solving the domain issue), and a "license to go" (a.k.a. license
checkout; solving the laptop issue). Perhaps if more people called
AISquaired expressing interest in such a setup they would be more likely
to implement such a setup.
