Just had a call centre guy from "Telko" - http://www.telko.com.au/ - I guess it was.
Very persistent with the "We can save on your local, long distance, you name it calls".
When will these sort of companies get a clue.
I can only guess that the profits from selling telephony services must be obscene for the sheer amount of these that we get.
I'm tempted to just say "yes" to all of them, and churn, churn, churn for a lark. Maybe not with the business line, however.
Anyway, dont give them the time of day!

So I looked around, and found a hack to allow Multiple RDP Access on Vista Business 64 on this page - http://xlnk.me/3p
