ThinSoft WinConnect

Overview

WinConnect is a software solution that enables Linux-based PCs and Thin Client devices (such as terminals, Internet/Information Appliances and PDAs) to connect to a Windows®server to run Windows®applications over a network or via the Internet. The low data transmission bandwidth required by WinConnect will even allow a remote connection over a dial-up or wireless connection to access data and run Windows®applications wherever the user may need it.
