Our Mission

We started off with the idea that Visual Basic developers are often locked out of some of the cooler parts of Windows.With this in mind, we developed the RasDial ActiveX control - probably the first to allow Visual Basic to communicate with RAS, the Remote Access Service.

Since then, we've expanded our product offering and gone on to develop host connectivity software, additional ActiveX controls, AMOS utilities and Java applets. We're currently developing MPEG-2 based motion picture achiving systems and related tools.

Our Y2K Statement

All of our products are Y2K compatible, but you should read our official statement on the matter.
