   Review - CuteFTP Professional

   3.0 Beta (Oct 9, 2002)

   They sure do burn through version numbers fast! What happened to more 2.x? I don't think they get it at all.
   
   Anyway, after experiencing the previous 2, I'm not even touching a BETA of 3! I agree with most others - FlashFXP is very nice. It's somehow related to LeapFTP, my old standard.... unfortunately SOCKS suppports has been the death of every client I've seen minus one: AbsoluteFTP. It's the only freakin client that manages to do Socks5 without PASV mode... and does it right! FlashFXP dev's don't even seem to get that there's cheesy little home apps like WinGate, and then real corporate SOCKS servers that 100's of users have to tunnel through. Ah well. If they can fix that one problem, I'm moving to FlashFXP also. Cute just doesn't understand what it means to be "Pro"... though maybe they'll get it right this time. SSH is promising, but if they F it up, there's no point.

   Review - Advanced Call Center

   5.0 Alpha Build 633 (Oct 7, 2002)

   It doesn't look like this program has gotten much better. I could not get this to work worth a damn a year ago. I found Call Soft and couldn't be much happier. Call Soft 3 will kick ass. It already can email you mp3 of v/m and images of faxes, announce callers with the speech engine, greet callers with custom wav's or text-to-speech (coolest use for caller ID yet!), etc. Version 3 has mailboxes, but it's still in beta. And it works with these hoaky Creative Labs voice modems, and in Win2k! The only other program that worked in Win2k was HotFax - and it was weak compared to Call Soft.
