Vicomsoft Announces Support For QT4 In SoftRouter

VicomSoft has announced that SoftRouter will now support QuickTime 4 streaming media. This feature will make it easier for schools and other networks that rely on SoftRouter to use streaming media content. According to Vicomsoft: Vicomsoft, the Internet connectivity specialist, today announced support for QuickTime 4.0 streaming media in SoftRouter, their popular NAT software router for both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. SoftRouter is the first NAT software router to offer transparent support for QuickTime 4.0's "streaming" of live video and audio over the Internet. Previously, LAN users connected to the Internet through firewalls or NAT routers often experienced difficulties receiving streaming media. Vicomsoft engineers have been working closely with the Apple QuickTime development team to implement a solution that allows multiple LAN users to access video feeds through a NAT router as they would any web site. SoftRouter also incorporates a transparent Web Caching Server; powerful DHCP Server supporting up to 1,000 clients; a DNS Caching Server for speeding up Internet host location; a Remote Access Server including security allowing incoming connections to a LAN and firewall protection for LAN users. SoftRouter's sister product, Internet Gateway, offers the same popular features as well as CyberNOT content filtering. Pricing on SoftRouter starts at US$155. More information on QT4 support in SoftRouter can be found at the company's web site. Vicomsoft
