NO LONGER A WALLFLOWER, the Mac is expanding Wall Data's RUMBA line, with the release of Mac RUMBA. The Mac RUMBA graphical terminal-emulation packages are based on Apple's SNA*ps products; Wall Data acquired SNA*ps last year. Mac RUMBA for AS/400 and Mac RUMBA for Mainframe are each priced at $345 per user. 800-487-8622 or 408-369-6900.
* A new version of MachTen, from Tenon (800-662-2410
or 805-963-6983; info@tenon.com), enhances the only UNIX
operating system available for the Power Mac. Power
MachTen 4.0 ($695) features a redesigned architecture,
including such UNIX niceties as dynamically linked shared
libraries and memory-mapped file access.
* The developer of MacWeb has turned its attention to
Internet security. TradeWave (512-433-5300;
info@tradewave.com), formerly EINet, will soon ship
TradeSecret (price not set at press time), a system
that secures commercial transactions over the Internet by
creating virtual private networks between parties. Businesses
can grant sets of access privileges to customers. TradeWave
also plans to release a new version of MacWeb, which
will include support for tables, mail-to URLs, and other
features now available exclusively in Netscape Navigator.
