Our solution is an integration solution and integrates with VMWare. If a reliable web connection back to a lab were a possibility I wouldn't do this but alas the connection we were quoted was 512kbps and not guaranteed either, not enough for a connection back to Bellevue.

In any case - it is a small dell optiplex, I will try the carryon route and check my clothes. Hadn't even considered it actually!

Thank you everyone for your input.
