IBM's version of the product is called the Mervin Convenience Package or MCP (There is also a server version of this package called the Aurora Convenience Package or ACP). There is also an OEM version, which comes with an new install program and many other commercial programmes. It is called eComstation, and is a product of Serenity Systems.
