The new TTYredirector product brings Tactical technology to Linux x86 distributions, including Red Hat, Fedora A free distribution of the Linux kernel from Red Hat along with a variety of open source utilities. Technical support is not provided for any of the Fedora distribution, only for Red Hat's full fee-based subscription of Linux. Core, SUSE and Debian. "TTYredirector is a significant new tool for developers and system integrators who have struggled with redirectors that have limited capabilities or only work with servers from one manufacturer," said Liisa Walsh, president of Tactical Software. "They need the best in redirector technology, plus the flexibility to choose among dozens of brands of device servers, and TTYredirector opens that door." "Some developers of Linux applications are new to serial port redirectors," added Walsh. "They may be surprised to learn that they need a redirector to do much more than simply relay data between a local virtual serial port and a device server, and that's where Tactical's technology really shines." As a member of the Tactical Software product line, TTYredirector supports public TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. protocols, automated server login, local signal emulation, remote port initialization in·i·tial·ize tr.v. in·i·tial·ized, in·i·tial·iz·ing, in·i·tial·iz·es Computer Science 1.

A special device driver is not required, and TTYredirector is implemented as a high-performance multi-threaded daemon for scaling up to hundreds of networked devices for large applications. "For nearly ten years in the Windows market, Tactical has been known for stepping up to help our customers succeed with challenging applications," Walsh remarked. "We are seeing a significant increase in the use of Linux in similar applications in financial services, healthcare, utilities and network services. We have served these segments for a long time and we're looking forward to seeing TTYredirector play a part in their adoption of Linux platforms."
