<p>SUSTAINABLE SOFTWORKS BRINGS OS X PRODUCTS TO MACWORLD</p>
<p>CUMBERLAND, R.I.- Sustainable Softworks, developers of award-winning<br />
Internet and security software, will be one of the featured companies in<br />
MacTech Central at MacWorld Jan. 8-12.</p>
<p>Peter Sichel, the company's president and chief engineer, will be<br />
discussing new products for OS X and the latest versions of Sustworks' OS 9<br />
tools. He will be accompanied by Ben Lachman, developer of gNAT.</p>
<p>gNAT was acquired by Sustworks in the fall. It is the basis of the<br />
company's first OS X product, IPNetShareX. IPNetShareX is Sustwork's<br />
entry-level Internet connection sharing program. It gives users graphical<br />
access to the Mac OS X Network Address Translation (natd) services. Natd is<br />
an inherent Mac OS X service which can be set up to share a single Internet<br />
connection among multiple computers without requiring a dedicated hardware<br />
router.</p>
<p>Although IPNetShareX does not contain the more powerful features of<br />
Sustwork's award-winning IPNetRouter software (such as filtering, DHCP<br />
server and port mapping), it can still serve many simple network needs,<br />
according to company officials.</p>
<p>"IPNetShareX, like other NAT-based Internet sharing solutions, imposes some<br />
limitations due to sharing a single public IP address," said Sichel. "While<br />
basic email, web surfing, and file transfer work well with NAT, some games<br />
and streaming protocols do not."</p>
<p>Sichel also will unveil a beta version of IPNetMonitorX, the OS X version<br />
of the company's popular set of Internet utilities. IPNetMonitorX provides<br />
a set of commonly used Internet tools, such as Ping, Traceroute, Whois,<br />
NSLookup, and more which allow Macintosh users to monitor and debug their<br />
connections to the Internet. The tools are designed to help users quickly<br />
identify problems, locate where the problem is, and gather data which can<br />
be used to solve the problem, either directly or through their Internet<br />
Service Provider.</p>
<p>"I'm excited about the release of IPNetMonitorX because the development of<br />
these tools in Cocoa with BSD networking will be the basis of everything<br />
else we do," Sichel said. "It's like building the hammer and saw before you<br />
can build a house. It will allow us to harness the power of OS X to build<br />
best-in-class networking solutions for the Mac platform."</p>
<p>In addition to OS X products, Sustworks will show the latest version of<br />
their OS 9 products, including IPNetMonitor. The just-released version<br />
2.5.2 adds support for displaying TXT records in NSLookup, and several<br />
other user-requested features.</p>
<p>Also on display will be version 1.6.3 of IPNetRouter, Eddy-award winning<br />
Internet sharing software. IPNetRouter is now capable of serving as a<br />
DynDNS.org client. The new version of IPNetRouter will automatically tell<br />
DynDNS.org when a user's public IP address changes. Because IPNetRouter's<br />
new function is triggered by an event mechanism when the IP address<br />
changes, it is much more efficient than other mechanisms.</p>
<p>IPNetSentry v1.3.2 , the company's personal firewall applications, now has<br />
several enhancements of particular interest to webmasters, including the<br />
ability to add or remove filters through Applescript. IPNetSentry recently<br />
was updated to be compatible with Opera and iCab browsers.</p>
<p>Sichel will also demonstrate IPNetTuner, which allows users to optimize any<br />
type of Internet connection for peak performance.</p>
<p>Sustainable Softworks' products range in cost from $25 for IPNetTuner to<br />
$89 for IPNetRouter. Several package deals offering significant value for<br />
users are available. All of the company's software comes with a free 21-day<br />
trial period and can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.sustworks.com" title="http://www.sustworks.com">http://www.sustworks.com</a>.</p>
<p>About Sustainable Softworks:<br />
Sustainable Softworks is a small, growing virtual corporation based in<br />
Cumberland, R.I., with employees in Michigan and suburban Washington, D.C.<br />
The privately owned company is committed to helping individuals and small<br />
organizations address their computing needs in a market dominated by larger<br />
and more sophisticated customers and suppliers. The company focuses on<br />
developing understandable and affordable information systems that fit the<br />
environment. Rapid innovation and falling prices have not only created a<br />
complex myriad of choices, but have also led vendors to focus on<br />
incorporating advanced features for enterprise customers who can afford<br />
them. Vendors want to sell and support the most sophisticated technology,<br />
and the market is easily influenced to follow the leaders. What's lost in<br />
this process is a broad market perspective, and rational evaluation of what<br />
is needed and what it will really cost. Sustainable Softworks offers a<br />
mature, insightful view of information systems with an eye toward pragmatic<br />
solutions for both large and small organizations. The company's website can<br />
