Radmin Testimonials

"I have been using netmeeting (from home) to keep tabs on a backup server at work for a long time. Once I tried Radmin, and set the refresh to 1000 per sec, I was able to get a faster response than netmeeting had _ever_ provided. I'd rather pay for such a great product than use a the free netmeeting - and I just did."
