KMSystems Web Access Tools

KMSystems’ Web-based capability of its terminal emulation products UTS and T27 ExpressNet32 allows access to host applications via the Web by opening a Web browser and signing on. When a user visits the Web page, files are automatically downloaded and installed or updated. This full-functioning emulator has the advantage of central network or server configuration and administration. ExpressNet32 is installed and runs from a network or Web server.

The administrator can set permissions for all, groups or individual users; user environments conform to one another; individual users can have full, partial or no control over their settings; and any necessary changes are made once and are immediately available to all users.

In addition, KMSystems changed the name of their automatic database reorg generation tool, I-QU 2000 to I-QU ReorgComposer.
