package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via

fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously.

The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and

Linux Driver software: all required packages will be carried onto

your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a

wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
