Controlling and viewing a remote PC just got easier
and faster thanks to Remote Administrator (Radmin). This program
lets you connect to any Windows NT or Windows 9x computer
that's running the administrator program, to view or
remotely control the desktop at an incredible speed
over a LAN. Compared with other such programs, Remote
Administrator (Radmin) is amazingly small and fast. It works
over both a dial-up connection and on a network, as
long as TCP/IP protocol is setup. Over a busy LAN, the
fast response from the remote PC almost creates the
illusion that you're sitting in front of the server,
even when using full window dragging.
How It Works You view the remote computer's screen on your own monitor
either in a window or full screen. All your mouse
movements and keyboard signals are transferred
directly to the remote computer. You work on the
remote computer just as if it were right there
in front of you. According to our tests and user
feedback, Radmin outperforms all other remote
control software in speed, usability and features.
With Radmin you can work with any remote computer
so long as it is connected to the Internet or
your local area network. You don't even need a
fast network connection! A 56K modem is fast enough
to provide 5-10 screen updates a second. On a
LAN, real-time speeds of 100 - 500 screen updates
per second is normal. Radmin’s speed can be adjusted
up or down to save your bandwidth.
Easy to Use Radmin is very easy to learn and use. Most of our users agree that
the major advantage of Radmin is its simplicity.
By all reports, the interface is intuitive and
the program is very easy to use. Unlike bloatware,
Radmin has no useless 'value added' features that
makes it hard to work with, difficult to learn,
or hobbles its performance.
Security and Reliability Radmin is extremely
secure, employing 128-bit encryption for all data
streams. Radmin utilizes the ever-present TCP/IP
protocol—the most widespread protocol used in
LANs, WANs and the Internet. This means you can
control virtually any computer from anywhere in
the world. When in "Full control" mode, you have
complete, unlimited control of the remote computer
so you can launch applications, work on documents,
transfer files, even shut it down. Of course,
that is provided you are the system administrator
or have been granted these permissions by the
system administrator.

Blogger Opinion: Why We Left NetSuite
(NewsFactor)
NewsFactor - I first met our solution provider, Ray Tetlow, the founder of Skyytek, on the Oracle Small Business (OSB from now on) user forum. At the time we were struggling with version 7 of OSB. It was really incomplete and badly tested software. Not only was it painfully slow, but also a lot of the features on which we based our purchasing decision just did not work.
