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.

In cooperation with MTA and netnews packages allows to run a FidoNet node (or point) on a UN*X machine. LICENSE: Freeware

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.
