ShareWay IP Pro takes advantage of the implementation of SLP included in Mac OS 8.5 to address one of the few remaining issues with IP-based file sharing: ease-of-use. Since shipping ShareWay IP in late 1997, Open Door has enabled any AFP (AppleShare-compatible) server to share files over the Internet or an intranet using TCP/IP protocols.

Here are some key features of "ShareWay IP Pro":
Support for multiple AFP servers from a single Macintosh
Real-time access statistics, graphing and centralized logging
Sortable list of active connections, including user's IP address and idle time
Service Location Protocol (SLP) proxying for any IP-based AFP server, making those servers available through dynamic browsing**
Ability to export configuration and access information to text files
Ability to disconnect a particular user.

What's New:
The ability to dynamically locate and access targeted servers through Service Location Protocol (SLP)
WebSTAR-compatible log files which can be analyzed in real time through LogDoor
50 user license to AFP Engage! included for simplified server access
SLP proxying for any IP-based AFP server, making those servers available through dynamic browsing
Full support for new Mac OS technologies, including Network Browser, Navigation Services and Apple Help.
