A simple, solid and stable P2P Bidirectional NAT Traversal technique for RealVNC users...

[Bob Hartung]

Since my last posting, I've been trying to play devil's advocate with 
this technology. I've been trying to imagine legitimate scenarios for 
using this technology in a business environment. So far, I haven't been 
able to do it. It still seems to be a technology whose primary purpose 
is to thwart firewalls and company usage policies.

Perhaps Alex or other listers who are using the technology could provide 
some examples of how Hamachi is or could be used in a positive, 
legitimate fashion.
