Dial Direct Tab
The Dial Direct tab in the New Connection window allows you to make a direct mo-
dem-to-modem connection to another Timbuktu Pro computer equipped with a
56 Kbps (or faster) modem and a version of Timbuktu Pro that supports Dial Direct
connections. No TCP/IP network connection is required. See
“Making a Dial Direct
Connection” on page 67 .
Skype Tab
The Skype tab in the New Connection window allows you to use the Skype trans-
port to connect to remote computers. This may be particularly useful when you
wish to connect to a computer behind a firewall or NAT router. See
“Using the
Skype Tab to Find a Remote Computer” on page 58 .
TCP/IP Tab
The TCP/IP tab in the New Connection window lets you connect to a remote com-
puter on a TCP/IP network using its IP address or DNS name. You may also use the
remote user’s email address to make a connection if that user is registered with
Netopia’s Internet Locator Server. See
“Using the TCP/IP Tab” on page 55 .
TCP/IP Scanner Tab
The TCP/IP Scanner tab in the New Connection window helps you find and con-
nect to remote computers, even when you don’t know their IP addresses, by
browsing your local network for active Timbuktu Pro computers. Once the desired
computer is found, you may connect to it without leaving the TCP/IP Scanner tab.
