<p>Maxum Development Announces MaxumPack Pro Bundle</p>
<p>April 23, 1998 -- Maxum Development Corporation announces the release of<br />
the MaxumPack Pro, a software bundle that includes Maxum's most popular<br />
Internet server development tools. At the same time, the standard MaxumPack<br />
has been streamlined and is now offered at a reduced price.</p>
<p>Maxum initiated the Internet server tools category more than three years<br />
ago. Since that time, Maxum products have been used by a wide range of Web<br />
developers, from building small departmental Intranets to creating<br />
full-service commercial on-line services. To meet the needs of the broad<br />
range of developers, many of Maxum's products have recently been introduced<br />
in "Standard" and "Professional" versions.</p>
<p>"Smaller Internet developers usually need all of the features that larger<br />
sites do, just on a smaller scale," said John O'Fallon, President of Maxum.<br />
"The difference between the Standard and Pro versions of our products is<br />
based on the size of the site, not on feature limitations."</p>
<p>Both PageSentry and Rumpus, for example, are offered in Standard and Pro<br />
packages, but all of the features in the Pro versions are also built into<br />
the Standard packages. PageSentry Standard supports up to 10 Sentries and<br />
10 Notifiers, while the Pro version permits up to 100 of each. Similarly,<br />
Rumpus Standard allows up to 32 simultaneous connections and 32 built-in<br />
user accounts, with the Pro version supporting up to 255 concurrent users<br />
and user accounts limited only by available RAM. In all other respects, the<br />
Standard and Pro versions of these products are identical.</p>
<p>Package Details</p>
<p>The MaxumPack Standard includes NetCloak, NetForms, and the Standard<br />
versions of PageSentry and Rumpus. The MaxumPack Pro includes NetCloak,<br />
NetForms, PageSentry Pro, Rumpus Pro, and Phantom. In addition to the "Pro"<br />
upgrades of PageSentry and Rumpus, Phantom is included in the MaxumPack Pro<br />
because of the advanced capabilities it brings to high-traffic, large-scale<br />
Web sites.</p>
<p>The MaxumPack Standard is priced at $495, a 32% discount over the price of<br />
the included products if purchased separately. The Professional version<br />
carries a price tag of $995, which represents a nearly 37% discount over<br />
the products when purchased separately.</p>
<p>Maxum customers who already own one or more of these packages individually<br />
qualify for special discounts on the MaxumPack, in either Standard or Pro<br />
form. For complete details, customers can contact Maxum at 1-800-813-3410<br />
or send e-mail to "sales@maxum.com".</p>
<p>Individual Product Overview</p>
<p>NetCloak</p>
<p>NetCloak, along with it's companion package NetForms, kicked off the<br />
Internet server tools market for the Mac OS in 1994. Since then, this<br />
"Swiss Army Knife" of Web development packages has become one of the most<br />
widely used and critically acclaimed products in the Mac OS Web development<br />
community.</p>
<p>NetForms</p>
<p>NetForms enables Web developers to build Interactive Web sites by<br />
performing a range of forms-processing tasks. Using NetForms, a Webmaster<br />
can enable users to create new Web content on the site, add to existing Web<br />
pages, send formatted e-mail or collect form data. NetForms has proven<br />
especially popular in educational environments, enabling<br />
parent/student/teacher discussion forums, student work publishing, and<br />
automated Web site management.</p>
<p>PageSentry</p>
<p>The only sure-fire way to know that a server is performing perfectly is to<br />
test it like a real user would. For example, to test a Web server,<br />
accessing a page using a browser leaves no doubt that the server is<br />
running. Likewise, logging into an AppleShare server and copying a file<br />
verifies that it is functioning perfectly. PageSentry is the "virtual<br />
assistant" that periodically performs real Internet client activity to<br />
verify that every aspect of an Internet site is functioning perfectly.</p>
<p>Rumpus</p>
<p>Rumpus is the premier FTP server for the Mac OS. Rumpus offers performance<br />
and features on par with or exceeding UNIX or NT servers, combined with the<br />
ease of use Mac OS Internet developers demand. Check out our Web site for a<br />
sneak peak at the next version of Rumpus, which includes integrated Web<br />
administration, new security options, and more.</p>
<p>Phantom</p>
<p>Phantom is the only complete Web crawler, indexer, and search engine<br />
available for the Mac OS. Phantom is the easiest way to add searching<br />
capability to your site. Since it can crawl sites via the Web, Phantom can<br />
be used to provide powerful, seamless search capabilities for a single Web<br />
site, virtual domains on a single server, or many different Web servers.<br />
Phantom is also ideal for creating a central index for all of an<br />
organization's intranet servers.</p>
<p>About Maxum</p>
<p>Founded in 1991, Maxum Development is a leading developer of commercial<br />
World Wide Web server tools for business and education. Maxum products,<br />
NetCloak and NetForms, were the first commercial tools for Macintosh-based<br />
WWW servers and have since become industry mainstays. All Maxum products<br />
are designed to enhance the function and performance of Web sites by making<br />
them dynamic, interactive, reliable, secure, fast, and accessible.</p>
