Cape Town-based Networks Unlimited has announced the release of NetOp Remote Control v6.5 with full Windows 2000 support, integration with the Window`s security model, and easy software deployment via push technology.
Version 6.5 also supports Windows NT, 2000, 98/95, Windows 3.1x, DOS and OS/2.
The new version provides additional remote connectivity options and a marker mode enabling a user to "draw" on the remote PC to highlight items or for training purposes.
"NetOp Remote Control continues to provide fast and stable remote control solutions for distant workers, network administrators and support professionals," says Networks Unlimited director Craig Copeland. "NetOp enables secure cross-platform control, or monitoring of multiple Windows, DOS and OS/2 machines over networks, modems and the Internet."
Along with supporting both GDI Hooks and bitmap graphics modes for Microsoft `s new Windows 2000 operating system, NetOp Remote Control v6.5 features tight integration with Windows security management, also known as Windows NT security. NetOp v6.5 takes advantage of Windows security management to validate passwords, provide access rights to groups and safeguard servers.
NetOp Remote Control v6.5 provides several new remote connectivity options, including the ability to connect over the UDP or TCP protocol for faster and more flexible TCP/IP communication. NetOp Remote Control v6.5 also introduces the ability to connect to a specific distant PC by name or user.
