General

FineLine PC Tether provides both UNIX and Windows software that works in conjunction with any PC terminal emulator that supports "pass-through" execution of a Windows command (support for a few popular emulators is "built-in" to this product, with an option to enter custom support for other emulators) and updates a special table on UNIX with the PC's IP information for easy later retrieval.

How it is used

If you run any software that requires the IP address of a connected PC and you are using a VPN and/or dynamic IP addresses, this software enables maintaining a list of IP addresses (and additional information) for the connected PCs.  For example, many of our PC software products require the IP address of the PC to contact from UNIX.  Tether provides the ability to easily obtain that IP address in environments that don't employ static IP addresses.

Requirements

This package requires that all PCs logging onto the UNIX system use a PC terminal emulator that supports "pass-through" execution of a Windows command (check your documentation for information about specific emulators).

Currently supported emulators include: FacetWin, TinyTERM, ICE.TCP and Anzio
