iTALC

Originally iTALC was available only for Linux, but since mid-2006 Added support for NT -based versions of Windows as part of the Qt4 porting. In addition iTALC can also be used transparently in heterogeneous environments, ie with a teacher computer that is running Linux, you can easily access Windows -student computer and vice versa.

As a basis for all functions is an extended RFB protocol, which means iTALC works completely with TCP / IP connections, which has the advantage that demo and remote control via local network borders are possible. This leads to the point that thanks to faster and more efficient compression method, etc., the integration of private student computers at home is possible and even the demo mode with acceptable speed runs.

On the student computers an ICA Server service is installed, which can be, not uninstalled from the students who do not have sufficient user rights. On these ICA Server service teacher computer via the LAN of the class accesses. The authentication of the student computer is carried out by a DSA key. This ensures that third-party computer by students can not be added without the consent of the teacher or the school for class compilation.
