DUAX is a replacement for the Lights.exe program that is a standard component of your Windows 95 operating system and resides in the Windows\System directory.
Duax provides the same information as Lights.exe (bytes sent, bytes received, connection speed, connection time) plus :
* the brand, type or name of your modem
* an audio alarm signaling when the modem connection is established or broken
* a logfile.
Duax is especially useful if you have more than one computer connected in a local area network and sharing a single modem. Without an audible alarm one of the computers (the ones without the modem) might establish unintentional and unnoticed modem connections. Your phone bill doesn't
care whether these connections are intentional or not.
Our Review: Duax takes the place of those little flashing lights in your system tray when you are connected to the internet. By extracting it to your system directory, when you connect you will see a flashing telephone that will display a lot more information about the connection than the standard Windows Lights application. Very efective with LANs but perhaps not so essential for the standalone PC.
