(PRWEB) July 27, 2001
Radient Software, Inc. announces the release of Secure CommNet 2.0, a new 32-bit Windows application that supports dial-up, Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH2) connections over the Internet. This latest version offers encrypted logins, communication and file transfers to remote computers. Major new features in Secure CommNet also include TCP/IP port forwarding (also known as connection tunneling), FTP support during Telnet and SSH2 connections, VT220 terminal emulation support and expanded scripting commands. Concurrently, Radient Software announces the release of CommNet 2.0, which offers all of the functionality of Secure CommNet 2.0 but without the SSH2 support.
Secure CommNet is an Internet communications application that is capable of one dial-up and multiple Telnet and SSH2 connections simultaneously. A built-in Phonebook allows users to automate logins and customize connection settings for each entry. High-performance Zmodem file transfers are available with dial-up, Internet Telnet and SSH2 sessions, offering crash recovery and auto-downloading. Ymodem-G is available for dial-up connections. In addition to TTY, VT100, PC ANSI, and SCO ANSI terminal emulation, Secure CommNet now includes VT220 support. Secure CommNet continues to offer a unique Telnet Host Mode Server feature, which allows two end-users to communicate and transfer files directly over the Internet.
Powered by sshlib from Bitvise Ltd., Secure CommNet supports SSH2, a protocol that enables encrypted connections to remote computers, including password transmissions and file transfers. With SSH2, users are protected from IP spoofing, IP source routing, DNS spoofing, and capture of passwords and other data. Secure CommNet supports the following encryption algorithms: AES256, Twofish, Blowfish, Triple-DES, Arcfour and Cast-128. For message authentication, Secure CommNet supports HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-MD5 algorithms.
Major new features in Secure CommNet include encrypted TCP/IP port forwarding (also known as connection tunneling) and FTP support during Telnet and SSH2 connections. Expanded scripting commands and command line options allow users more flexibility to automate logins and session captures. Secure CommNet also supports multithreaded serial communications for faster connections and a configurable scrollback buffer up to 500 pages, as well as docking toolbars that allow users to customize the main screen.
Secure CommNet 2.0 and CommNet 2.0 require an IBM-compatible PC with at least 8 MB of RAM and a minimum of 2 MB free hard disk space, running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. A modem is required for dial-up connections; and Internet access is required for Telnet and SSH2 connections.
Secure CommNet 2.0 is available for immediate purchase and download. Current users can upgrade to Secure CommNet 2.0 for US$10; new users can purchase a single-user license for US$39. Secure CommNet is subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as set forth by the U. S. Bureau of Export Administration (http://www. bxa. doc. gov (http://www. bxa. doc. gov)).
