Download of the Month: ICS Remote Disconnection Utility

I promise I'll stop obsessing about Windows 98 SE's Internet Connection Sharing soon--but it has changed life as I knew it on my office network. If you're similarly enamored with the feature (which allows one system to share its Internet connection with other computers on the local network), you'll want to try out Twiga Limited's free Remote Disconnection Utility. RDU allows any computer running the shared connection to close it when they are done and notifies other users of the impending disconnection. You can find a single 1.5MB download containing both the client and the server portions of the utility on FileWorld, or on Twiga's site.
