I don't have any relationship with vendors either but have used the Kane = eval copy on my server and it works well (crippled) and provides sound = information in a graphic and detailed manner. I like it because unlike the very good competitor tool from Bindview it = requires no server code and runs from your workstation. The only negative appears to be cost - a traveling license (for = consultants) is fairly expensive and seems aimed at the large accounting = firms and not small business. Other than that, it's a good tool.

I'd appreciate any real world successes or failures encountered in the use of this product. [=20 IDS Moderator - you might like to try a fully functional evaluation copy for NT or Novell NetWare. As I didn't have a NT or NetWare = machine handy I just grabbed the KSA Demo (walks through the software) and I was quite impressed with the demo. Which is not to say that it is any great success or failure in real world use..=20 The homepage is http://www.intrusion.com/ NT evaluation ftp://ftp.intrusion.com/pub/ntev402.exe NetWare evaluation ftp://ftp.intrusion.com/pub/novev401.exe Demo ftp://ftp.america.net/pub/users/idi/demo210.exe Before anyone asks I dont support/promote any systems - I'll just=20 forward/comment on any system that comes my way.=20 So keep sending... ] Thanks, Jim _________________________________________________________________ James Cannady | Research Scientist Georgia Tech Research Institute | Voice: (404) 894-9730 Georgia Institute of Technology | FAX : (404) 894-9081 347 Ferst Dr., Room 154 | Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0840 | james.cannady@gtri.gatech.edu _________________________________________________________________
