linksys wireless network usb adapter trial software / shareware for mac

Save money, avoid Airport cards!
The Macintosh Wireless Driver from OrangeWare allows Mac OS X users, version 10.2 and newer, to use most 802.11a/b/g desktop and laptop cards with an Apple Airport access point, as well as any PC orientated access point.
In fact, it is the ONLY Mac driver to allow Macs to connect to 802.11?a? networks.
Please visit http://www.orangeware.com/endusers/wirelessformac.html for a list of known compatible cards.
Version restrictions:

Network Probe is a very powerful network monitor and protocol analyzer gives you an instant picture of the traffic situation on your network and enables you to monitor network traffic in real time, hunt down, identify, and isolate traffic problems and congestions on your network.
All traffic is monitored in real time and presented to the user as a combination of tables and charts, giving detailed information about hosts and protocols, as well as an instant overview of the traffic situation on your network.
All the information can be searched, sorted, and filtered by protocols, hosts, conversations, and network interfaces. With the click of a button you can see individual usage of specific protocols, how much traffic each user generates, and which sites on the Internet they have visited.
Main features:
- Network summary
- Network throughput
- TopN talkers and listeners
- TopN protocols and hosts
- TopN conversations
- Protocol statistics
- Host statistics
- Conversation statistics
- Protocols per host
- Protocols per conversation
- Host traffic per NIC
- Conversations per NIC
- User-selected protocols
- User-selected hosts
- User-selected conversations
- Traffic logs

Hardware Monitor Remote 4.8 is a powerful program that makes it quick and easy for the Mac OS X operating system.

Hardware Monitor Remote allows you to use a hardware monitoring service on a remote Macintosh system. Other computers can contact this system via network (local area network, wireless network or the Internet) to receive readings from all available hardware sensors.

Hardware Monitor allows you to monitor the computer it is running on in the standard configuration. Hardware Monitor Remote extends its capabilities to monitor additional computers in the network as well. You can connect to an unlimited number of computer simultaneously and monitor them all from a single workstation. (In practice, the actual number may be limited by the speed of your network.) Of course you can also use several monitoring stations to receive data from an arbitrary number of other computers.

CP290 Director X is MacOS X software that controls the original X10 home automation computer controlled interface, model number CP290. It completely replaces the Macintosh software that comes with the CP290, and has unique features not found in other Macintosh-based CP290 controllers.
CP290 Director X has the same basic functionality as CP290 Director for Classic.
In addition to the above, the CP290 Director X supports the following additional features:
- The ability to specify that an event is to occur at sunrise or sunset (plus or minus a specified time interval);
- The ability to specify a specific date on which an event is to occur, and optionally the interval in days thereafter that the event should be repeated;
- The ability to specify that the event should occur only on even days or on odd days.
X10 systems usually work reasonably reliably, turning on or off the selected module when the CP290 commands it. However, occasionally noise or interference in your wiring can cut reliability whereby a module is not turned on or off at the requested time.
The best solution to this problem, if acute, is to install noise filters, signal bridges, or amplifiers. However, you may find that CP290 Director X solves the problem for you. CP290 Director X allows you to optionally specify that each "on" event should be sent more than once to the module, and/or that each "off" event should be sent more than once.
Thus, if the first command to turn off doesnt work, the second or third one might. If you specify that an event should be sent more than once, it will be sent the specified number of times (two to four) at one minute intervals.
CP290 Director X has the same basic functionality as CP290 Director (a MacOS 9/Classic program), but has been rewritten for MacOS X. However, it is backwards-compatible with CP290 Director in that it reads and processes CP290 Director files.
To connect a CP290 to a modern Mac without a serial port, you can use one of many USB-To-Serial adaptors. Keyspan makes several. The one I use is the Keyspan PDA adaptor (USA-19). These were originally made to connect early Palms to Macs, and many are still available on ebay, though they are not made anymore.
This has a DB 9 connector, so it will not connect to the cable that came with a Macintosh CP290, but you can buy a PC CP290 cable from PIGS Electronics. Alternatively, you can get a Keyspan USB Twin Serial Adaptor (USA-28X), which has two traditional Macintosh serial ports, though this is likely more expenseive than the PDA adaptor + cable.

Main features:
- Turning on and off modules immediately, including turning them on dimmed;
Defining "turn on" and "turn off" events to be stored in the CP290 and executed by the CP290 even if the Macintosh is shut down. Such events include:
- Turning a module on or off once at the specified time today;
- Turning a module on or off once at the specified time tomorrow;
- Turning a module on or off every week at the specified time and day(s) of the week;
- Turning a module on or off every week within an hour of the specified time and day(s) of the week; (security mode);
- Displaying the events currently stored in the CP290;
- Setting the base house code of the CP290, which is the house code it uses when its 8 on/off buttons are pressed;
- Setting the clock in the CP290 to the clock in the Macintosh;
- Displaying the clock in the CP290, and
- Performing a self test function.

Version restrictions:
- You can try it out for 30 days, but if you still use it thereafter, you must register it.

Simple Pager sends numeric pages to your dial up pager via your modem. Pages can be sent manually, by double clicking a saved pager document or via applescript. The applescript support lends itself very well to automated paging.
If other programs are using your modem Simple Pager can run a script before paging to turn them off and another script when it has finished to restart them.
This can be very useful if you are also using your modem to gather caller ID data but still wish to be able to use it to send outgoing pages.
Simple Pager is compatible with any built in Macintosh modem in desktop or powerbook computers as well as any external modem connected via USB, a USB/Serial adaptor, or a legacy serial port in older hardware.
Version restrictions:
- 10 seconds startup delay.
Enhancements:
- Support for Mac OS X.

The Allegro Media Server streams digital music from Macintosh or Windows iTunes libraries to wired or wireless networked digital music players using UPnP technology (the same technology used by Windows Media Connect).

This means that networked UPnP-based Digital Music Players such as the newer Philips Streamium series, the Roku SoundBridge and the Netgear The Allegro Media Server streams digital music from Macintosh or Windows iTunes libraries to wired or wireless networked digital music players using UPnP technology (the same technology used by Windows Media Connect).

This means that networked UPnP-based Digital Music Players such as the newer Philips Streamium series, the Roku SoundBridge and the Netgear MP101 can see an iTunes Digital Music Library over the network and play individual songs or playlists.

Allegro Media Server provides a bridge between an iTunes Digital Music Library and the world of networked media players.

The Allegro Media Server runs as a background application on Macintosh (OS-9, OS-X) and Windows (XP, 2000) personal computers.

Allegro created its Media Server using UPnP technology, one of the latest industry open standards. UPnP technology is all about making home networking simple and affordable for everyone, so the connected home experience becomes a mainstream reality.

UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and Web technologies to enable seamless networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home. The Allegro Media Server is fully compliant with the UPnP v1.0.1 specifications and the UPnP AV DCP 1.0 specifications. The Allegro Media Server will also interoperate with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) 1.0 Digital Media Players.
