Will an external user be able to access CM/ECF with WebTV?
The user will be able to log onto CM/ECF through WebTV, but they will not be able to access pdf files through the tool. The reason is that WebTV is a browser tool with little or no memory and additional software, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or word processing tools, cannot be installed on the box.
