What is GearBox? Just the BEST way to get online!
GearBox is a utility application which gives you much more flexibility in managing your Internet connections. Whether you're a power user with multiple Internet accounts or maybe have a gazillion people using your computer to get on the Net, GearBox gives you the power to manage all your connections without hassles. And it's from Rockstar Studios, known as an innovator in developing Internet connectivity tools. You can:
• Maintain Multiple Configuration Sets
• Manage System-wide Internet Settings from One Location, and
• Diagnose and Fix Configuration Problems
(but that's not all...please read on...)
Features Include...
• One-stop configuration of settings - configure your System for the Internet from one location and take the hassle out of searching for settings.
• Create as many Configuration Sets as you need - switch among different configurations, whether over Ethernet or dialup, with one mouse click! The “Easy Setup” assistant makes it simple to build new sets.
• Diagnose and fix connection problems - maintain the integrity of your System settings and keep them free from corruption and accidental overwriting.
• Maintain workspace environments - allow many users on a single computer to keep web browser bookmarks, email address books, application Preferences and more separate. Each user can have a personal workspace!
