Interesting! Little stuff like this sometimes gives you insight to the big picture. Palm Pilot has no true competition. The closest thing I would think are NOKIA mobile phone handsets<g>. MSFT sure is getting reputation for buggy software. Interesting in that they higher "the smartest" people out of college. Course, it is difficult o produce non-buggy software when the program exceeds a million lines of code.... >>I wonder if there going to update it Thursday? <G><< Have it point to ASND, FORE, XYLN,.....one of these I guess.<gg> BTW...nice day so far for COMS. Kick back and watch COMS creep upward. I think I could get use to this<gg>

3Com Simplifies Network Operations With Enhancements to Transcend Traffix Manager for Windows NT - BW, 10:44 a.m. Sep 28, 1998 Eastern New Web-based Reporting and More Efficient RMON/RMON-2 Data Storage and Retrieval Deliver Flexible and Cost-Effective Network Management SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 1998-- 3Com Corporation today announced major enhancements to its award-winning Transcend(R) Traffix(tm) Manager for Windows NT application that meet 3Com's goals of simplifying network operations and delivering improved network reliability. Transcend Traffix Manager V2.0 for Windows NT now offers Web-based reporting, more efficient data storage and retrieval, and the industry's most comprehensive RMON-2 data collection. These enhancements let administrators more easily monitor traffic flow, application usage and end-user activity to identify trouble spots before they impact application or network quality of service. Transcend Traffix Manager V2.0 for Windows NT offers a choice of HTML, ASCII and printed report formats to simplify the sharing of information, provide for customized reports and enable the export of data to other applications. In addition, a new scheduler function allows for report generation on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and user-defined data aging maximizes storage space for past performance data. Transcend Traffix Manager V2.0 for Windows NT also doubles the number of supported end nodes - from 50,000 to more than 100,000 - and incorporates an open database to allow access to information by third party applications. "A critical challenge for managers is keeping their company's network running reliably and efficiently. This requires sophisticated, yet easy to use, management tools that support rapid problem isolation and resolution, as well as deliver the information needed for proactive planning and network optimization," said Mark Bouchard, senior research analyst, Global Networking Strategies, META Group, a Connecticut-based research and consulting firm. Taking Control of Network Traffic Transcend Traffix Manager for Windows NT provides a desktop-to-WAN visualization of enterprise traffic to help network managers better understand the impact of application deployment throughout the network. Transcend Traffix Manager collects and correlates data from standard RMON/RMON-2 probes and embedded agents, providing a global view of network traffic for performance management, trend analysis and troubleshooting. Through its highly intuitive graphical user interface, it can quickly and easily zero in on every host and data stream in the network, allowing managers to more easily monitor and enforce corporate network usage policies. "Our goals are to deliver end-to-end management of 3Com network systems, simplify and automate network operations, increase reliability and reduce the total cost of network ownership," said Kathy Rocha, director of marketing for network management at 3Com Corporation. "With Transcend Traffix Manager V2.0 for Windows NT, we are taking a step closer to enabling users to manage their network as a business resource rather than an office tool." Through its leading-edge data management and advanced filtering capabilities, Transcend Traffix Manager can scale seamlessly from small to large enterprises. Administrators can use Transcend Traffix Manager to aggregate subnet data from many devices into a single device. In addition, it can filter out conversations below a level defined by the user, providing a more useful set of information. Pricing and Availability Transcend Traffix Manager V2.0 for Windows NT is scheduled to ship on Oct. 22 and is priced at $7,995 (U.S. list price).
