In a Customer's Own Words
An IT Director tells a friend about Stay-Linked...
"Chuck-
I recall you mentioning some software you were very satisfied with for maintaining RF sessions on the I5. I was in Elkhart yesterday and they were expressing frustration with shop floor connections dropping. Do you know what I'm talking about?

"Scott-
This is great stuff - stay-linked.com.
It moves the telnet session internal to the i5 and extends the session over the wire - similar to a Citrix protocol - UDP instead of TCP. The packets are small and fast back and forth to the i5.
You can literally remove the RF battery and when the device revives itself and boots you are right back in the session waiting for the next keystroke.You can take control of a session or just watch it - great for support purposes. Or move it to another device.
The proprietary RF client installs on a wide range of devices and can be locked down and made automatic. I have the RF devices setup to boot to a sign on screen - or if they already are active in a session then they get that. It does it *every time*.
Server runs on windows or i5 - I have mine on the i5. There is a windows admin client I run on Vista to manage the i5 server program - sort of like ops nav.
Service is as good as TL Ashford. Just call / email and they help.
This is so much better than having to try to get the last 5 nines of reliability on your wireless coverage.
