Firstly, many thanks for your feedback and rating of Slink. Much appreciated!
Slink 1.9.9 will be available soon on the Mac App Store. We just hit some snags with the getting this version set-up for Apple's approval process. All sorted now, and Slink 1.9.9 should be available sometime next week. Apologies for the delay!

Stumble upon this promo.... and I am really glad I did. Very easy, simple, and straight to the point!
I like not having to go to the web to access a remote computer or logging in and out to help other Mobileme family members (using my laptop).
Now I just wish there was an iphone/ipad app (just like Logmein).
But this software is one more reason I will hunt down family members to switch to Mac!
Rest assure that we are definitely looking at iOS,

With Slink you need at least one Mac at home running the Slink Agent. In other words, your set-up will not work. Unfortunately, there is no way to install the Slink Agent on the ReadyNAS Duo.
Not what you wanted to hear, so apologies!

Slink requires you to have at least one Mac in the home network. (Can be on or sleeping. Slink can wake it up using Wake on Demand.)
In other words, you will not be able to use Slink with an AirPort Extreme only. This would require Slink software on the AirPort Extreme. While we would love to have Slink running on an AirPort Extreme, only Apple can add functionality/software to the AirPort Extreme!
I suggest you trial Slink using the 14-day free trial to see if it works in your situation. If you have any questions, just contact me on support@slinkware.com and I will assist.

(Due to an issue with Slink 1.9.2 this version was never pushed to the Mac App Store. Slink 1.9.3 fixes this issue.)
Apologies for this delay. We aim to keep the Mac App Store and Slinkware Store versions in sync, but due to the Apple Review process there will be a lag of ~4-10 days.

Don't worry about the delay, there's no big deal about that.
Since I'm still trying to get used to Apps with "dual personality" (App Store and outside world) my question was more to try to figure out if I was supposed to do something in order to see he update.
Knowing that it's just a question of days and eventually the App Store will warn me about the update is all that I needed to know.
Again, thank you for taking the time to explain this.

FYI: Slink 1.9.3 has now been approved by Apple and is available for update on the Mac App Store.

I went to the Slink FAQ page and it says that it requires that both host and remote computers be Intel Mac and that Slink is NOT a UB. Now I'm a bit confused. I get info on the app and it states it is a UB. I was able to install the Prefpane on my home Mac Mini (PowerPC) that I use as a media server without any problem. So it seems Slink IS a UB. So, my host computer is PowerPC, but all my remote computers are Intel. Could this be why I can't connect? I would love to use this in place of the soon to be totally defunct SimplifyMedia, but it just doesn't work for me.

Slink _is_ a Universal Binary, but PowerPC support is experimental and we do not recommend installing until we have tested further. We do state this in the release notes, but I now realize that we must be much more explicit about this. I will add notes to the download and FAQ page re this.
There is currently an issue on PowerPC that means that while services are discovered, they cannot be used.
Would appreciate if you could e-mail me, olof@slinkeware.com, so that I can keep you up to date on the PowerPC testing.
Again, many apologies for the confusion.
