Key Features
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
Support for Windows 3.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Norton pcANYWHERE has been enhanced to provide remote control of Windows
|
||
|
|
3.0. Due to proprietary technology, Norton pcANYWHERE optimizes and
|
||
|
|
simplifies the remote operation of Windows 3.0. Version 4.5 enables users
|
||
|
|
to control a host PC running Windows 3.0 in real, standard or 386 enhanced
|
||
|
|
mode and includes full mouse support for both DOS and Windows
|
||
|
|
applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliability is especially important when the host PC is not directly
|
||
|
|
visible nor easily accessible to the remote user. Because the quality of
|
||
|
|
the phone line is critical, Norton pcANYWHERE is designed to recover from
|
||
|
|
phone line errors and to sustain the integrity of connections even under
|
||
|
|
noisy line conditions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ease of Use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A new Quick Connect feature has been added to Norton pcANYWHERE. Quick
|
||
|
|
Connect simplifies the connection process by reducing the parameters
|
||
|
|
necessary to set when connecting to the host PC. The number of steps have
|
||
|
|
been reduced from 15 to as low as 2 using user defined parameters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Communications Flexibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Norton pcANYWARE includes a complete set of general communications
|
||
|
|
functions. Popular terminal emulations such as ANSI, DEC, IBM and Data
|
||
|
|
General, as well as file transfer protocols such as ASCII, XMODEM, YMODEM
|
||
|
|
and Kermit, provide users with greater flexibility. These communications
|
||
|
|
functions make it easier to connect to public mail, bulletin board
|
||
|
|
services and when accessing minis and mainframes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Leading Technology
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new, completely comprehensive script language enables users to automate
|
||
|
|
general communications and avoid the need for user intervention.
|
||
|
|
High-speed file transfers can be implemented in the foreground or
|
||
|
|
background. Remote users can transfer files without interfering with
|
||
|
|
on-going host computer processing. In addition, over 90 drivers for
|
||
|
|
specific modems now exist, taking complete advantage of specific modem
|
||
|
|
capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Norton pcANYWHERE/LAN also provides a gateway for non-dedicated
|
||
|
|
communications servers. The LAN version is compatible with any
|
||
|
|
asynchronous communications server that follows the NASI/NCSI interface
|
||
|
|
such as Novell's NACS and Network Products
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Speed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Norton pcANYWHERE runs at speeds of up to 115,200 bits per second, making
|
||
|
|
it the perfect match for high-speed modems and super-fast ISDN digital
|
||
|
|
phone networks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
