This file contains a description of other products that Outpost
Software sells. An order form is included.
RemoteRetrieve (tm) for Windows
-------------------------------
RemoteRetrieve for Windows is similar to RemoteRetrieve for DOS.
However, RemoteRetrieve for Windows includes file compression for
faster file transfers. It will be available after June 1994.
Registrants of RemoteRetrieve for DOS will get a free copy of
RemoteRetrieve for Windows.
Visual BBS (tm) - The Bulletin Board System for everyone's PC
-------------------------------------------------------------
LOW COST COMMUNICATION FOR USER GROUPS
For the first time, small businesses, schools, and special
interest groups have a way to establish an easy to use and low
cost method of communication among members. Outpost Software
announces Visual BBS, a new type of bulletin board or online
information system that is specifically designed for small
businesses, groups and individuals who want to provide
inexpensive online communication, but don't have time to learn
complicated new software or modem and BBS terminology.
EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO USE
With its unique graphical interface, Visual BBS stands head
and shoulders above other BBS software. It has the same
functionality as standard bulletin board systems (i.e. sending,
retrieving, viewing files, and sending E-Mail), but it is much
more convenient to set up and use. The uniqueness of Visual
BBS lies in its ability to organize information in the same
manner as PC users are familiar: directories and subdirectories.
There is no need to learn a new database program or spend hours
arranging files and creating screens as with some other standard
BBS software.
BUILT-IN TEXT EDITOR
The convenient text editor allows the BBS administrator to
effortlessly create and modify ASCII files for viewing.
ADD A DESCRIPTION TO FILES
With Outpost Software's novel approach to adding a description
to files, the administrator can add an 80 character description
to each file or directory to facilitate immediate file
recognition.
CUSTOMIZE ACCESS PRIVILEGES
Another advantage to Visual BBS is the ability to easily
customize access privileges for each user. For example, small
businesses can provide separate E-Mail accounts for each
employee. Additionally, directories can be established which
correspond to various departments in the company, with each
employee having access to the information available for their
respective department.
Visual BBS (tm) - Features continued.
-------------------------------------
EDUCATION EXAMPLE
An elementary school can establish separate accounts for
teachers and students/parents. Teachers have access to the
teacher account and the students/parents have access to the
student account. The teachers can submit lesson plans
electronically either from school or home. Parents can easily
look up their children's assignments, or submit homework from
their home computers when their children are sick.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
The Visual BBS package comes with the BBS Host program and the
Access software. The Access software provides the graphical
interface to the BBS Host computer and is required for access
to the BBS. The standard edition, with a 10-user license, lists
for $99.95. If you mention that you heard about Visual BBS from
the RemoteRetrieve shareware program, it will be discounted to you
for $49.95.
The professional edition permits unlimited distribution of the
Access software, and lists at $249.95. Visual BBS professional
edition can accomodate up to 1000 E-Mail accounts, with
capability to grant customizable access priviliges to each. It
has an unlimited Access software distribution license.

Remote Power Switch - Turn on a computer remotely.
--------------------------------------------------
Outpost Software announces the long awaited complete solution
for turning on a remote computer and then retrieving files.
With the Remote Power Switch, users no longer have to leave
their PC running 24 hours a day, to retrieve files from their
computer. After turning on the computer, remotely via the Remote
Power Switch, they can then retrieve the files using
RemoteRetrieve.
The Remote Power Switch answers the phone after a preset
number of rings. With a touch tone telephone, the user can
then turn the switch on or off. The Remote Power Switch
will work in conjuction with answering machines.
The Remote Power Switch adds an extra level of security to your
home or office computer. No one but you has to know that your
computer is hooked to your telephone. The only way the computer
will allow remote access is after you enter the access code on
your telephone to turn your computer on.
The regular list price is $79.95, but registered users of
RemoteRetrieve or Visual BBS can purchase the switch for
$59.95.
