It's similar to a backup, but instead of creating an entire copy of the file system ZShadow saves only the changes between watchpoints. Because ZShadow only saves the differences between files, ZShadow compliments your current backup strategy by making more efficient use of your disk space. Watchpoints are created automatically or on demand and take only seconds to complete, users won't even know its there. ZShadow maintains the watchpoints in a private save area where they can be retrieved through an easy to use graphical user interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1074: Aurora: Solaris x86 Data Comm Cards & SPARC PPP Users of Sun Microsystems' Solaris x86-based PCs can now extend local and wide-area networks cost-effectively, using Aurora Technologies' family of asynchronous terminal servers and synchronous multi-protocol communications controller cards. The products give original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), systems integrators, and MIS depart- ments a method of network expansion scalable across the most popular UNIX workstation and server platforms, including SPARC and HP 9000. Aurora Technologies has introduced a series of PPP Accelerators that give SPARC-based network users high-speed access to the resources of the Internet over standard dial-up phone lines. The products provide up to 32 remote Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) links at three times the speed of any SPARC system's native serial communications ports. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1075: Client Server GUI for Sending Alpha/Numeric Pages Wynn Data Limited is pleased to announce the availability of Beeptool Version 2.0 for Sparc.
