eSynch NetMonitor in the Top 5% Most Popular Downloads eSynch Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kiss Software Corp. (Kissco), has announced that the latest version of its popular software, NetMonitor, was ranked in the top five percent of the top 1000 most popular downloads between October 1999 and February 2000 on the ZDNet Downloads' site (http://www.zdnet.com/downloads)! NetMonitor works with any Internet connection -- analog modem, cable modem, T1, DSL or LAN -- and includes Kissco's revolutionary TrueSpeed technology, a quick test that tells the user the exact speed of their Internet connection. Users can even set the server and web site location with which to perform their TrueSpeed test, while a Performance Measurement Report allows them to view their previous TrueSpeed test results in an easy-to-read HTML graphical display. The new version also includes 'skins', allowing users to personalize their copy of NetMonitor by decorating it with graphics of their choice. Simply right click anywhere on the NetMonitor to select from a group of 'skins' already included with the product. Additional 'skins' will also be available for download through the Modem Wizard website (www.modemwizard.com). In addition, an atomic time synchronization feature can easily correct the user's system time -- perfect for travelers or users who like to keep track of their files by date and time. A "Who is" button will display complete information about the website the user is visiting-including contact information, company location, etc., so users concerned with Internet security can instantly validate the legitimacy of the website they are purchasing from. NetMonitor also displays the IP address, connect speed, transfer rate, and the number of hops (Internet routes) between your PC and the Web site you're browsing. A "trace route" option runs a trace on the user's Internet connection and shows location and round-trip time for each hop. NetMonitor can currently be downloaded free of charge at the Kissco web site: http://www.kissco.com. System Requirements A PC running Windows 95, 98 or NT with 2mb of free disk space. http://www.kissco.com Sent in by: Cedric Adams eMail, networking, online communications, web, internet, ISDN, Search Engines, - 5/29/00 Back to the Topic Index
