Hello. I'm actually Tatiana's husband James, an open source guy who's sort of gently pushing her towards Koha (yes, she's a librarian) :) . Part of my gentle nudging may end up involving setting up an old machine we have with Koha - perhaps on a day when I just happened to have brought her some flowers or a bottle of champagne. I, too, am a Debian fan, btw. Ideally, I'd like this machine to be located remotely, but be connected to the web (using a dyndns address - pseudo-static, for those of you who might not know much about dyndns). But part of that hopeful plan banks on the assumption that Koha can be adminstered via the web (as opposed to from a local network). Is this assumption about Koha correct? I.e., could we - and other interested parties - log into Koha for remote system admin and modification (e.g., adding records, patrons, fiddling with financial records)? Essentially what I'd like is a machine set up for a testbed, with testing being done via the web. Seems to me like Koha is already set up to do this on an intranet, but what about via the internet? Thanks, James
Hi James, There's no reason you can't admin a Koha install remotely. Will you be using dyndns to resolve a machine on a cable modem or DSL connection? :-) Joshua On Fri, Dec 19, 2003 at 07:07:56PM -0600, Tatiana Miller wrote:

Thanks for your response, Joshua. The machine will be on an ADSL connection. Nice to know this is feasible: we can test how it works and get used to it this way, as well as offering others who might be interested the opportunity. James
