Wildcat! 5 for Windows 95/NT
 Wildcat! Interactive Net Server

The Wildcat! Interactive Net Server product line provides a Windows NT/95-based solution by offering the capabilities of a Web server, an FTP Server, a Message Server, a Commerce Server, a Dial-up Server and Intranet Server.

The Wildcat! Interactive Net Server is available in four configurations. The Enterprise Edition (MSRP $3,995), Business Edition (MSRP $1,495), Community Edition (MSRP $249) and the Personal Edition (MSRP $5-$10). All Editions share a standard base feature set.

The Wildcat! Net Server product allows an individual or business to create a Web or Intranet site that is fully accessible by Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Through a combination of dynamic HTML screens and Windows client programs it adds interactive functionality, including the ability to post and reply to messages in customized conferences; to send and receive e-mail; to chat in real-time, either one-on-one or in groups; to search, view, upload and download files from customizable file libraries; to send instant pages to other users; to process questionnaires and more. All versions include software to connect to the Internet and provide controlled access to e-mail and Usenet newsgroups. Additionally, when set up as a dial-in or intranet server, access can be given to specific callers that allows them to surf the Web using the system's built-in browser, even without them having access to TCP/IP networking. Each package also includes an electronic commerce gateway that allows the Wildcat! Interactive Net Server to receive and process check and credit card transactions for goods or services. It offers companies the latest in secure transaction processing and the ability to handle instant subscription access and real-time billing. For companies who have not yet have established merchant services, an account application with a major institution specializing in online commerce is provided. All Wildcat! Net Servers (except the Personal Edition) also include a one-year license for a logo-branded Custom Connector for marketing the system like America Online, the worlds largest information service. Wildcat! Interactive Net Server sites can be reached through LAN, Internet, or by direct dial, exposing them to the vast number of modem-equipped users without an Internet feed.

The Community Edition (MSRP $249) and Personal Edition (<$10) share the above feature set. The Community Edition is a box-based retail product while the Personal Edition is distributed in a CD-pack with documentation on disk.

In addition to the above basic feature set, the Business Edition (MSRP $1495) adds a full-featured Report Generation System that shows which system areas are being accessed, which files have been transferred, allows system administrators to graph, report, and export data from online questionnaires and polls, and easily extract demographic and marketing information for printing or exporting. The Reporting System also includes utilities to purge and prune message areas and locate and purge files in the different file libraries. One year toll-free product support is included with the Business Edition.

The Enterprise Edition (MSRP $3995.00) includes all the features of the Business Edition and adds the ability to receive (and reply) to any messaging on the Server directly from any Intranet desktop using Microsoft Exchange. This allows every Microsoft Exchange user to read and reply to any message, internal or external, local or Usenet, right from the desktop without needing to log on to any server and check for messages. It too includes toll-free support for one year.

Although each of the WINS products allows a specific maximum number of concurrent connections for using the message, file, chat and other interactive client systems, they all allow unlimited concurrent access for users accessing the Web server. For non-Web activity the Personal Edition is limited to one connection at a time, the Community Edition allows for 2 concurrent callers, the Business Edition expands the connection count to 16 and the Enterprise Edition provides for up to 64 simultaneous connections to access the interactive client activities. All products except the Personal Edition can be expanded with inexpensive 8 and 32-pack connection licenses.

The Community, Business and Enterprise Editions are available through distributors including Merisel, Ingram Micro and DistribuPro, and through Wildcat! Certified VARs. The Personal Edition is designed as a promotional item and is only available direct or as a Bundled special.
