Network Packet Capture Software Lowers TCO of OS/2 and WorkSpace
On-Demand* Environments

Orlando, Florida, February 1, 2000 -- Golden Code Development
Corporation today announced Network Trace for OS/2, its network
packet capture software for OS/2. With Network Trace, network 
administrators can turn every OS/2 machine on their network into a
network probe. Easily accessible via existing remote management 
technologies, such as telnet, it enables trace data to be gathered on
any segment of the network from a centralized location, in minutes.
Since Network Trace is a software-only implementation, there is no
need for dedicated hardware. 

"Typically, a large proportion of the time spent analyzing a network 
problem is wasted sending a network engineer to a remote site to
gather trace data.", said Greg Shah, president and co-founder of
Golden Code. "With Network Trace, this cost is eliminated; network
engineers can focus their time on analyzing traces, rather than
generating them."

Highlights

An invaluable aid in problem analysis, client-server application 
development, performance tuning, preventative maintenance, and
profiling, Network Trace for OS/2 offers: 

 - Hardware-independence. Network Trace can be used with a wide
   range of network hardware - for example: 16/4 Token Ring, 10/100
   Ethernet, wireless LANs, infrared, FDDI, and ATM. Because it is a
   software-only implementation, it will work with any speed adapter,
   including 100 Mbps Ethernet. This is achieved by interfacing with
   any NDIS 2.01 compliant MAC driver. 

 - Reliability. Network Trace works reliably in stressful
   environments, tracing WorkSpace On-Demand/RIPL boot storms of 40+
   machines without dropping frames! 

 - Power. Network Trace forms the basis of a powerful, portable
   tracing solution when installed on a single, network-enabled
   notebook computer. However, its true benefits are realized when
   the software is deployed throughout the enterprise. In such an
   integrated configuration, any remote OS/2 machine can produce
   traces, when accessed from a central location using existing
   remote management technologies. 

 - Versatility. In order to support the widest range of customer
   environments, Network Trace has a command line interface. This
   simplifies remote use and enables automation via REXX. The trace
   files generated are Sniffer*-compatible, making them readable by
   most existing network analyzer tools and with the forthcoming
   Golden Code Trace AnalyzerTM. 

 - Low Overhead. Network Trace has minimal impact on system resources
   when it is dormant: 0% CPU utilization and less than 15KB RAM
   utilization. 

 - Convenience. Since it is an NDIS 2.01 protocol, Network Trace
   requires neither dedicated hardware nor a hardware key. In its
   standard mode of operation, it does not interfere with the normal
   network activity of the installed machine.
