“Cybernet’s NetMAX is going to give Microsoft’s Windows NT and
Novell’s NetWare some stiff competition in the single-server
market. NetMAX provides the stability, power, and flexibility
of Linux in a tool that can create a GUI-based environment for
multiple users armed with browsers, all in remarkably little
time.“
“NetMAX is built on Red Hat Linux, providing more-experienced
users with a familiar platform. The product comes in two forms: a
less-expensive version that provides individual services like file
services or router/ firewall services, and a complete package for
$395 that includes all these services as well as most standard
Linux-based services. All of these features are managed from a Web
browser, allowing you to configure a server that doesn’t have a
keyboard or monitor.”
“The list of services in the complete version is extensive. It
provides router support, including firewall,
network-address-translation support, and dial- in management. File
services include NFS and FTP support, while Samba allows Windows
95, Windows 98, and Windows NT users to access the server as if it
were another Windows system. NetMAX even provides native AppleShare
support for Macintosh users.”
