- It's not the usage of apps (like AMosaic etc) that are the difference between
- the demo and Amitcp 4.2 (reg).
- But the possibility to use different protocols or even dynamic access.
- My internet provider uses the BOOTP (protocol) and dynamic addresses so I had
- no other choice than buying AMITCP because this is NOT possible with the demo!
