Timbuktu Pro 8.0
(Booth 749) will preview Timbuktu Pro 8.0 at Macworld Expo this week. The remote control software for Mac OS allows network administrators and IT managers to control distant computers and send files, instant messages and voice intercom over any LAN, WAN, Internet, or direct dial connection. Version 8.0 includes integration with Rendezvous; extends Timbuktu Pro's own multiple security levels by using system user accounts to create a new type of secure connection that leverages Apple's existing security; improved encryption and data compression using SSH; and new Push Installer to install Timbuktu Pro on remote computers. It is expected to ship in late February.
