Transition Package to move all production web sites on any WebSTAR
server to a Mac OS X-based platform for only $550 per machine. Tenon
will move WebSTAR customers on either Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X to iTools
on either PowerPC or Intel Mac OS X platforms. The transition package
includes a single iTools license.
Tenon's iTools 8.2.2 includes Apache 2.2.2, the latest Apache version

the beginning there was dial-up, and it was slow; then came broadband
in the form of cable, which redefined how we access the internet,
share information, and communicate with each other online. "Hacking
the Cable Modem" (No Starch Press, September 2006,
http://www.nostarch.com/cablemodem.htm) goes inside the device that
makes Internet via cable possible and, along the way, reveals secrets
of many popular cable modems, including products from Motorola, RCA,
WebSTAR, D-Link, and more. The book's author, DerEngel, is regarded
in hacker circles as the foremost expert on cable modems.
Once described in the media as "a dangerously unemployed U.S. coder,"
the author now runs his own embedded development assembly business
that seeks to improve hardware by modifying and experimenting with
it. Sometimes dismissed as a thief or belittled as no better than a
virus writer, DerEngel's activities have drawn attention from the...</div></div></span>
