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.
