TB2 9.0.2 for Windows 7, Vista, and XP is finally a reality! I never thought I'd see this day, but it has indeed arrived.

So, if you need your Mac to connect to Vista or Windows 7, the wait is finally over.

Also, your Mac serial number works as an upgrade making the $90. price about $45.

I've loved TB2 for decades. Works great across the WAN and across platforms.

Support has been slow to fix the recent modifier keys with clicking issues but 8.8.2 seems to have made those operational again.

But 8.8.2 has introduced a problem for me that I don't see any discussion of yet: when connected Mac to Mac and I press my CMD key there are many times the remote Mac makes a boing sound. Does not seem to do this when the remote Mac is in the Finder - but it does happen if the remote has Mail.app as the front app. And with numerous other apps.

While there are free or low cost screen sharing tools out there, I have not found any that work as well over a WAN connection as TB2. TB2 really shines over VNC (e.g. ARD) when the bandwidth starts getting tight.

I used to use this back in the day... but since then ARD+Slink came along and that's the new baseline.

Or, if you prefer, ARD+Terminal.app(tappity tap type your ssh pipe in).

Slink's easier & cheaper.

Wow, does anyone still use this software? So many other solutions like iChat/VNC/ARD, etc... Still not 64-bit!

copy the v881 timbuktu folder to application folder
start timbuktu application, asked to replace driver; yes
you get kicked out but all is fine next session, even crtl/com/shift-klick!

Rather than paying $4.95, just go to
http://www.netopia.com/software/products/tb2/evaluate.html
and get them to send you the evaluation version which is 8.8 - your old v8 activation key will work.

I purchased the upgrade to 8.6 just a couple of months ago, and would really be upset if I had to pay $50 per license to get the 8.7 upgrade. Thankfully, I've not missed TB2, yet, because the screensharing feature built into 10.5 does the task admirably. Now, I haven't yet tried it on machines outside my LAN, but since I never did with TB2 either, I'm not sweating it.

According to the site, it's $4.95 to upgrade from 8.6 to 8.7. I'm tempted to email them and see about getting a free upgrade since the only change they list is that it works with Leopard... and 8.6 already does work with Leapord (I'm using it right now)

I noticed the update and tried to find what it covered at Netopia's website. They don't seem to claim anything new except 10.5 compatibility. I bought the 8.6 update when it came out and didn't see any changes s I don't use skype. I just installed 10.5 last night. I noticed the TB2 icon was not in the menu, but when I ran the program it popped up. Under 10.5 TB2 8.6 seems to connect a lot faster. I have not noticed any problems with TB2 8.5 on 10.5 so what's the upgrade for? Maybe just to get $4.95? Post a link if you find any updates please.

Um.... I PAID for the upgrade. When I put in my username/password and get to the download screen it says to download the 8.6 CD! What the heck is up with that?!

I had to change the download URL from 86 to 87 and I was able to find the 8.7 files.
