Timbuktu Pro

Timbuktu Pro Publisher's Description:
For nearly twenty years, Timbuktu Pro for Mac OS has been the standard for remote control on the Mac OS. With its simple setup, intuitive, user-friendly interface, and multiple security options, Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh is the best remote control choice for your home, classroom or small business.

With Timbuktu Pro, you can view the screen of a remote computer, or share your screen with one or many remote computers to collaborate, teach or provide technical support. Use your mouse and keyboard to operate distant computers as if you were sitting right in front of them, send large files without tying up email, and communicate by intercom, text chat or instant message.

What's new in this version:

# Timbuktu Pro 8.6 is now a Universal Binary, and will run natively on both Intel and PowerPC Macintoshes.

# Timbuktu Pro 8.6 features integration with the popular Skype internet telephony application. You can now browse your Skype contacts from the Timbuktu interface and initiate Skype calls and chats from Timbuktu. Furthermore, if your Skype contact has Timbuktu installed, you can make Timbuktu connections to them via Skype across many NAT routers without any additional configuration.

# The Don’t Allow Messages to Fill field on the Messages Received tab in the Preferences dialog box is now set in gigabytes, not megabytes. If you access this preference with Applescript, it is specified in bytes.

# The mouse pointer is now more accurate when you control a second computer through a computer that you are already controlling. (This is also known as "chaining" Control sessions.)

# Incoming Control sessions no longer cause rare crashes in the Timbuktu Host process. This crash caused Timbuktu Pro to stop accepting incoming connections.

# Drop Sender creation is now more reliable.

# Timbuktu Pro no longer occasionally stalls when exchanging a large number of small files.

# Recording Quicktime movies of Control sessions is now smoother and more reliable.

8.6 is a free upgrade for anyone who owns any 8.x version of Timbuktu Pro for MacOS.
