    Reviewing 2.2 (Aug 8, 2008)

    This is a misleading entry. It's not completely freeware - it's mostly trialware and only partly freeware.

    You're actually getting the "Free Edition" of the PacketTrap pt360 Tool Suite. And that means you are really only getting a 21 day trial for the "Pro Edition".

    After 21 days, the trial ends and you can only use the free features:

    - Enhanced Ping
    - Graphical Ping
    - Ping Scan
    - TFTP Server
    - Trace Route
    - WHOIS

    And you can already download any of those freely and individually from here (at the bottom of the page):

    You can see the full comparison of the editions here:

    Which shows just how much will not work after the 21 days.

    Why mislead? Could it be because the Pro version costs $795 and this package is really just an advertisement for that?

    So points off for the misleading and a low score because the components that are truly free in this package aren't much of a big deal either.
