“I have found that the most recent release of X-NetStat Pro to be of invaluable use in performing these tasks. I really wish that I had a little more time to fully evaluate the intricacies this software, as it has proved to be to be extremely valuable. It is great for verifying connected IPs and ports and analyzing I believe the entire program to be fantastic. With every release it just keeps getting better and better. As a whole, it’s great and I will continue to make use of all its feature for a long time to come (unless you end up selling it out to someone like McAfee at which time I will go back to using 10 to 15 other programs to accomplish the same thing that I am now able to do with just yours. You have produced what I consider to be a master piece. Except for a very few minor glitches (which I don’t think was a result of your work, but rather glitches in Windows XP) the software has performed fantastic. “- Joe Fred, Systems’ Analyst
