XPVM provides a graphical interface to the PVM console commands and
information, along with several animated views to monitor the execution
of PVM programs. These views provide information about the interactions
among tasks in a parallel PVM program, to assist in debugging and
performance tuning.
Xrdesktop2 is a GTK2-Perl frontend for Rdesktop, which allows for the
saving, and editing of session configurations.
Xrdesktop2's intent is to handle Rdesktop's available commandline options,
by presenting them in a [Perl/GTK2] GUI. Xrdesktop2 currently handles most
any of the options you're likely to be interested in. Future versions will
undoubtedly add more.
zsync is a file transfer program. It allows you to download a file from
a remote web server, where you have a copy of an older version of the
file on your computer already. zsync downloads only the new parts of the
file. It uses the same algorithm as rsync.
zsync does not require any special server software or a shell account on
the remote system (rsync, in comparison, requires that you have an rsh
or ssh account, or that the remote system runs rsyncd). Instead, it uses
a control file - a .zsync file - that describes the file to be
downloaded and enables zsync to work out which blocks it needs. This
file can be created by the admin of the web server hosting the download,
and placed alongside the file to download - it is generated once, then
any downloaders with zsync can use it. Alternatively, anyone can
download the file, make a .zsync and provide it to other users (this is
what I am doing for the moment).
tcpstat reports certain network interface statistics (such as
bandwidth) much like vmstat does for system statistics. It gets its
information by either monitoring a specific interface, or by reading
previously-saved tcpdump data from a file. It has been tested under
Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS.
CrashMail II FTN mail tosser
CrashMail is back! Once upon a time, there was a Fidonet tosser for
the Amiga called CrashMail. This is the new generation of that tosser!
This generation is more basic without the fancy GUI, but does what it
is supposed to do and is above all more portable.
FidoNet(tm) transport and gateway for UN*X platform.
Delivers Fidonet mail packets over telephone lines
and TCP/IP connections; converts Fidonet net- and
echomail to RFC-822/RFC-1036 compliant mail and news
and vice versa. In cooperation with MTA and netnews
packages allows to run a FidoNet node (or point) on
a UN*X machine.

InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.
Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which attempts to
be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike. It has all the typical
features found in newsreaders, and also supports offline reading, multiple
connections, and a number of features for power users and alt.binaries fans.
SABnzbd is a cross-platform binary newsreader. It makes downloading
from Usenet easy by automating the whole thing. You give it an NZB
file or an RSS feed, it does the rest. Has a web-browser based UI
and an API for 3rd-party apps. Ideal for servers too.
