Laudable is that TeamView is based on the free Speex audio and Theora video codecs. The VoIP chat and video chat functions are useful in this case, although transfers are available only on the receiver end under Linux because V4L webcams are not yet supported. Even multiple logins on common hosts is possible, such as to demonstrate something to multiple users. The modified WINE-based version performed perfectly in a short test and provided a multitude of integrated functions that are relevant for remote session management, such as restarts and easy data transfers between systems. The German software maker enhanced compression significantly so that less data needs to be transferred. Especially noticeable is the speed session control runs effectively even over modem connections. Only when a proxy or firewall with content filters prevents it does the transfer run over the TeamViewer servers. ![]() ![]() Through a worldwide accessible central registration server over the Internet, which is 256-bit encrypted over a UDP connection between the hosts, remote session control is possible without port forwarding even over routers and through firewalls. Remote support requires the unique ID and password of the client (which can also be stored, but is normally newly created at startup). That is, provided TeamViewer is running on the remote host as a standalone program –– special client or server versions aren't available. ![]() After a huge customer request, TeamViewer 5.0 can now allow remote access to, and remote control of, Linux systems over the net.
