Notes Desktop is a Notes run-time client that allows users to utilize Notes applications, and includes 25 application templates such as customer tracking, document library, and work flow. Additionally, Notes Desktop enables organizations to leverage Notes' unique groupware capabilities, including compound document management, mobile support, replication, and robust security. IBM Personal Communications/3270 for OS/2 Entry Level Allows communication abilities between desktop users and mainframes. This emulation capability increases productivity for the user by allowing access to information stored on a host computer within the organization. Communications Manager/2 SNA Application Environment Protects customers' investments by allowing computers to exchange data with systems using the Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) protocol. The SNA Application Environment allows users to access information from a mainframe or workstation. Mobile File Sync Allows LAN clients to disconnect from the network and still work with cached files from the server. When the client is reconnected, mobile and server files are synchronized. This ensures that users will be working with the most current version of their data. Performance Monitoring Allows a network administrator to determine if a computer is running at peak efficiency. System Performance Monitor/2 helps identify and solve performance issues of OS/2 systems via data collection, recording, graphing, reporting, and analyzing facilities for a single workstation. Additional Features ------------------- Additional features include a Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Client, a Dial-in-Access-to-LANs (DIALs) client that allows remote LAN access using an IBM 8235 Server and AnyNet Sockets for OS/2 to support protocol independence for Socket applications. AnyNet Sockets for OS/2 allows these applications to run over NetBIOS, IPX, or SNA networks. AttachPak also provides NetView Distribution Manager/2 (NVDM/2) Start Up, which downloads the NVDM/2 client that is licensed separately. The NVDM/2 client permits software distribution over a network. This addition to the OS/2 Warp family of products further strengthens the ability of users to grow within the OS/2 Warp product line.
