thanks Bert and Sandeep
AC offered me a copy of trial run w copies of my patients (partial set) to attempt remote synch with laptop via internet. will try after holidays and let you know how it works.
Bert.. As archaic as it may seem, we have our patients call us on our cell phones and we cover 24h 6days. we have found, for us that this is easier than having to respond to pages (small practice 1 PA and 1 MD). works for us.
