OS 10.5 platform

Los Angeles, CA – Aqua Connect Inc., the leader in scalable enterprise

Connect Terminal Server 3.0 software. The newest release is compatible
with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and offers support for Microsoft’s Remote Desktop

and Aqua Connect has delivered more functionality than previous versions.
