Viewer Recommendations: Links for Techies
HostMonitor: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index.htm This is a very simple program with a great interface that lets you monitor a wide variety of aspects of your system (server up? service running? file size? low disk space? WAN down?...) and then launch any one of a number of different actions (send an email? restart the host? restart the service? Event Log? SNMP trap? Syslog?...) There is a FREE version with a limited number of tests and there is a pay verion (based on the number of tests) that is very reasonable. (Michael Bowen, PA)
SnapFiles: The other site that I go to when I need something is snapfiles.com. Though not strictly a "tool" it is a great place to go to find tools...
Kiwisyslog: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/index.phpThis is a great syslog tool. Well supported and at a great price. They also make a cool tool called CatTools that lets you easily manage multiple devices such as routers and switches. (Michael Bowen)
VNC: http://www.realvnc.com/ This little gem (in any of it's incarnations) has to be on everyone's short list.... (Michael Bowen)
Firefox developer toolbar--toolbar for Firefox that lets me test web pages (resize them for different screen resolutions, test with it different stylesheets, validate for accessibility and many other functions) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 (Gwen Daniels)

What is a wiki?
In a single sentence, a wiki is a web site that is created and edited collaboratively.
![Page 29: Free Tech Tools for Poverty Law NTAP Presenters: Gabrielle Hammond Gwen Daniels.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514d13d550346b0478b4fb2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania
The problem Telephone Intake manual and Staff
manual required constant changes to a printed manual. Staff manual---everyone throughout the program had different versions, depending on which updates they had actually kept.

Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania
The solution: “I checked out the NTAP info on
wikis, and was drawn by the claim that creating a wiki could be as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich. I figured I’d see if that was true, and it was.”

The result:A wiki with: Organizational information Help Line Manual Staff Directory Substantive Law resources Other Resources
