In my tests, I experienced clear, colour-accurate and astonishingly fast desktop display refresh rates when working with another system remotely. Because Timbuktu Pro works with multiple address books, you can easily access your entire workgroup or contact a user with one simple step. The latest Timbuktu Pro 32 client adds screen sharing between users, a built-in intercom (for talking directly with other users via the network or Internet), and a text-based chat feature. When compared with Remotely Possible, Timbuktu was slower at remote system operation and slightly faster with file transfers.

Unlike pcAnywhere or Rapid Remote, Timbuktu does not offer terminal capabilities. Timbuktu produced better overall performance than many of its competitors and was the best with display and response characteristics. With impressive performance, integration with NT security and the addition of collaborative features, Timbuktu Pro offers enough tools to be truly productive across the enterprise. Through this complete package, Timbuktu gives remote- control and file-sharing capabilities to workgroups, remote employees, and your help desk, server, or Web administrators who are using LAN, WAN, Windows Remote Access Service, TCP/IP, intranet, or Internet connections.
TIMBUKTU PRO FOR MAC MAC OS
The package also includes a 16-bit Timbuktu Pro 1.5 client for NT 4.0 and 3.51, Windows 95, and Windows 3.x, and Timbuktu Pro Mac OS client.

Timbuktu Pro 32 for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 is the latest addition, offering 32-bit support. The solution provides a multiplatform remote-control and file-exchange solution through an integrated package, Timbuktu Pro Enterprise 2.0, comprising various clients. Administrators who have been wary of remote-control applications because of performance and limited features should take a look at Netopia's Timbuktu Pro.
