Subject: Arafura Connect's iptrk 14.0.0 goes GPL (announcement)
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 20:52:19 CST
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Public availabilty of-
iptrk- A promiscuous IP packet tracker for networks
Copyright (C) 2000-2003 Jason Nunn <jsno@arafura.net.au>
Originally Written as a commercial product for Arafura Connect
Perl scripts written by Peter Green <peter@arafura.net.au>
I am releasing Arafura Connects commercial flagship as GPL software. This
has been agreed to under the current Management. This is the heart of our
ISP and RadioLAN operation. Without it, we would be unable to track static
network connections for billing, detect hackers doing nasty stuff to our
equipment (a weekly happening), detect equipment outages, unusual traffic,
and various viruses that wrath havoc on our (and customers) networks.
What started in December 2000 as a hack to trace a hacker (who at the time
costed the company $3000 in traffic), has grown into a very powerful tool.
Many thousands of hours has gone into this project. It has slowly evolved
into a very powerful networking instrument. I trust you will find this
program of great value in your organisation.
Please don't be discouraged by the lack of documentation and difficulty in
installation. It's a rock solid program with 1000's of hours of up time.
It runs under the most heavy hacker attacks.
So, bare in mind (when you are pulling your hair out trying to install it
;), that it's an internal project that has only be made available to the
public. Documentation will be scarce for a while !. Patience !.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Public availabilty of-
Formerly A News Group - Arafura job tracking program
Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Jason Nunn <jsno@arafura.net.au>
Originally Written as a commercial product for Arafura Connect
I am releasing Arafura Connects job tracking system as GPL software. This
has been agreed to under the current Management. Like iptrk, many hours
have been spent carefully mounding fang to Arafura Connects needs.
If you are a service company in the IT industry, and you need to track
customer jobs/work orders, then you will find fang most useful with
possibly no modification needed.
Please don't be discouraged by the lack of documentation. It's a rock
solid program with 1000's of hours of up time. So, bare in mind (when you
are pulling your hair out trying to install it ;), that it's an internal

The Philadelphia Alternate Systems User Group (PASUG), formerly
The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group, invites all interested computer
users to attend the March monthly meeting:
. *** MARCH MEETING AGENDA ***
. ** InCharge Financial Management Program **
. ** LindowsOS Demo **
SHORT PRESENTATION: Come See LindowsOS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good news! Arrangements have been confirmed for the loan of a
LindowsOS computer, the widely discussed and publicized system
marketed by WalMart. David Moskowitz will conduct a live demo
and discussion of its major features.
MAIN PRESENTATION: InCharge Financial Management Program
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doug Leach will conduct a presentation/demo of InCharge financial
management program for OS/2, a full-function personal & small
business financial management system which is available from
Spitfire Software. InCharge was originally written for OS/2 as a
native alternative to Quicken or MS Money. A Windows version is
also now available. There is complete feature equivalence, as
well as data compatibility, between the two versions.
InCharge supports an unlimited number of sets of books, multiple
currencies, multiple year budgeting, internet banking, and
securities & brokerage account management. InCharge also contains
a complete payables/receivables system which tracks bills & loans
in real time. For small business, InCharge provides billing and
invoicing as well as order entry and sales analysis.
Doug's presentation will cover the following items:
- Creation and setup up of sets of books
- Account management
- Creation & setup of typical bills & transactions we all deal
with on a regular basis.
- Importing internet banking data.
- Setup and creation of invoices for customers.
- Setup and management of securities accounts.
- - - - -
Other agenda items include announcements, news, Q&A session and
raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be available.
Mark the date and time: Thursday, March 27th at 7:00pm.
PASUG meetings are open and free for all users, their guests and
others interested in learning about OS/2, Linux, other OS's and
associated technologies. We have a very full agenda and a tight
schedule. Please be on time promptly by 7:00pm to avoid missing
out on the earlier parts of the meeting.
. ** WE SUPPORT OPEN STANDARDS **
PASUG meetings are held at Bryn Mawr Community Center, next to
the Ludington Library, at the corner of Lancaster and Bryn Mawr
Aves, Bryn Mawr, PA. Meetings are scheduled on the 4th THURSDAY
of each month, except the 3rd THURSDAY in Nov. and Dec.
