<p>June 19, 1998 - ELS, Inc. and Digi-Net Technologies have announced the<br />
official release of DigiChat(tm) version 1.1, a JAVA based client/server<br />
chat product designed specifically for Web Presence Providers and<br />
Educational or Corporate Webmasters. DigiChat's state-of-the-art interface,<br />
ease of installation, and simple administrative site management make it the<br />
new standard for web-based chat.</p>
<p>"DigiChat is the only chat software that lets Internet Presence Providers<br />
and Webmasters offer each of their clients the ability to host their own<br />
customized, independent and private chat environment for their web sites,"<br />
said Robert Parker, president of Digi-Net Technologies. "DigiChat features<br />
an elegant interface that allows the chat screen to match the look and feel<br />
of an individual web site, including the use of custom logos and scrolling<br />
advertising banners. Because DigiChat is written in 100% Java(tm), it can<br />
be installed on any platform and used by any Java enabled browser."</p>
<p>"Every other chat product on the Internet restricts Webmasters to a design<br />
dictated by the host," Parker said. "DigiChat is the first chat solution<br />
that can be fully customized and allows the Webmaster to maintain complete<br />
control of the chat environment, including the ability to log each chat<br />
session, ban users, add or change room names on the fly, use a site logo,<br />
and customize user icons and ad banners."</p>
<p>After purchasing and installing DigiChat, IPPs can begin offering DigiChat<br />
as an attractive new service to their webmaster clients, or can use<br />
DigiChat as a source of additional revenue.</p>
<p>DigiChat includes customizable advertising banners. The IPP can either<br />
retain control of the banners for their own use or can offer the ad banner<br />
space to their webmaster clients. Webmasters can then sell the ad space for<br />
a fee. Ad content can be targeted to specific chat groups, making each<br />
impression a valuable one. Chatters are a captive audience for the ads,<br />
which cannot be bypassed.</p>
<p>"IPPs and Webmasters can use DigiChat in several ways," said Mitchell<br />
Martin, president of ELS, Inc. "They have the option of packaging this<br />
private chat option with other services they provide and selling<br />
advertising space in DigiChat's customizable scrolling advertising banners.<br />
Or, they can simply charge their clients a monthly fee for the chat hosting<br />
capability. They can also combine the above options."</p>
<p>"I have been checking DigiChat out for the past few days and am very<br />
impressed. Kudos to you and your team for a stellar program." said Cris<br />
Mitchell, owner of Coastal Fog Productions, who evaluated DigiChat during<br />
the beta testing period.</p>
<p>The feature-rich DigiChat includes the exclusive ChatGuardian(tm) text<br />
screening capability that can block inappropriate language. Plus, DigiChat<br />
is the only chat software that allows for private, independent chat rooms<br />
for each web site, and there is no limit on the number of users. This<br />
allows for the creation of virtual on-line communities, fostering an<br />
environment for those with shared interests.</p>
<p>"I like how easy DigiChat is for me to use to communicate or just have<br />
fun!" said Kevin Heflin, vice president of ShreveNet, Inc. "The<br />
administrative and Chatmaster portions are easy to understand and follow. I<br />
love ChatGuardian."</p>
<p>DigiChat is priced according to the number of web sites hosted. Pricing<br />
starts at $495 for the Small Business Edition. To try DigiChat first hand,<br />
