PortBlocker 1.02

Whenever you run a server on your machine, it uses what are called 'ports', which allow other machines to connect to them. Of course, sometimes you're just running them for your own internal use, but there's no easy way to stop someone from accessing the server. AnalogX PortBlocker allows you to basically block the Internet port of most servers, making them unreachable to other computers on the Internet. This program is NOT a Firewall, but it will allow you to run a server that is only available on the local network, and will log any access attempts made by other machines that are attempting to use the blocked interface. By default, PortBlocker is configured to block the most common types of servers that might be on a system (FTP, HTTP, etc), so will not require any modification for most users. If you are running a special server of some sort, then you can easily add it's ports (either TCP or UDP) to it's list, and have them blocked and/or logged.

Portmapper 1.03

Do you need to map a specific TCP or UDP port on your machine to another port on another machine? Do you want to limit access to a server on your machine based on the IP address of an incoming connection request? If these sound interesting to you, then AnalogX PortMapper is just what the doctor ordered (or programmer, in this case). AnalogX PortMapper allows you to map and port on your computer to any IP address and port on another machine; not only that, you can limit access based on the incoming IP address! So, say for instance that you are using a proxy, and would like to be able to telnet from other machines; simple, just run PortMapper, and tell it to forward any request to port 23 (telnet) to the machine you want to access. Now, any time you telnet to your proxy server machine, it automatically forwards the data to the other machine! Or, do you run a webserver, and only want people from IP address you specify to connect? No problem, PortMapper can do that as well! Overall, a great standalone program, or an excellent addition to a proxy or server!

Star Downloader 1.3

Star Downloader is a download accelerator that can increase download speeds by up to 400 percent. Acceleration is achieved by splitting the downloaded file into several parts and downloading these segments at the same time. Download speeds are further increased by downloading the file from the fastest mirror sites.
You can automatically resume broken downloads if your connection is lost or if your computer is shut down. With the scheduler, you can download files at certain times of the day. Star Downloader can also connect to your ISP automatically, and hang up upon completion of any scheduled downloads. Plus, the integrated unzipping utility can automatically unzip and install downloaded files. Star Downloader also integrates with your antivirus program to automatically scan files upon receipt. Star Downloader supports FTP, HTTP, and proxy.

CallerID

One of the best improvements to the telephone in the last few years was the addition of CallerID - finally a way to avoid all those telemarketer calls and other less-desirable! :) Of course, it would be nice if the computer could help make a good thing better, and with that evolved AnalogX CallerID!
CallerID is a straight-forward, using any Unimodem/V-compatible voice modem that has Caller ID support, you can easily track incoming calls including; who is calling and their number (if available), how many calls have been received from this person, when the first call and when the last calls were logged, and more! The program can easily be run minimized on the system tray, with a special notification window that pops open when an incoming call is received (which will automatically close).
