<p>SEATTLE LAB INTERNET MAIL MACHINE BREAKS BARRIER FOR SMALL COMPANY EMAIL</p>
<p>-- Easy-to-use computer offers everything needed for email server --</p>
<p>BOTHELL, WA and SANTA CLARA, CA, July 23, 1998 - Email has become such an<br />
important communications medium that small companies are discovering its<br />
importance in conducting business. While companies are hearing from<br />
customers that email is the preferred way to share information, they don't<br />
want to add full-time staff just to maintain email and network servers and<br />
work with Internet vendors. Companies are examining email's "cost of<br />
ownership," which includes connections, equipment, and administration.</p>
<p>Now, an easy-to-use, inexpensive, "one-stop" computer is available with<br />
email, Internet, and networking built in. The Seattle Lab Internet Mail<br />
Machine (SLIMM) is a hardware/software solution from Seattle Lab in<br />
conjunction with Ramp Networks. It takes about one hour to set up, from<br />
opening the boxes to sending and receiving mail. SLIMM is so simple to set<br />
up and operate that anyone, from a company president to a secretary, can<br />
control its full range of services.</p>
<p>"For company managers who realize they need to quickly set up an email<br />
server to make email and the Internet accessible to their employees, this<br />
is a simple, affordable solution," said Larry Heberlein, president of<br />
Seattle Lab. "The SLIMM computer comes ready to use as a network server,<br />
which makes it that much more versatile."</p>
<p>The SLIMM hardware/software solution is attractive for small-to-medium<br />
sized companies who are not currently managing their own email services and<br />
need to get costs under control, especially those companies who do not have<br />
the size or need for an IS Manager. Because SLIMM can access any SMTP<br />
account, it is a sensible solution for companies who want to manage their<br />
own email users. Mailboxes, user aliases, and distribution lists can be<br />
added, modified, or deleted in a matter of seconds from any workstation on<br />
the network.</p>
<p>SLIMM is a stand-alone computer operating as a network server and email<br />
server. It offers a one-stop messaging service, providing email, web-based<br />
email, remote administration, and web server capabilities. It is easy to<br />
set up, easy to use, and versatile enough for a wide range of network<br />
situations. SLIMM can be used as a separate server or in conjunction with<br />
existing networks. It operates well with conventional telephone or ISDN<br />
connections, and purchasers can upgrade at any time. The server even works<br />
well with Macintoshes or combinations of PC and Macs running on the same<br />
network.</p>
<p>"By combining the award-winning WebRamp M3 and Seattle Lab's software,<br />
small and medium sized businesses can now reduce the costs of hosting email<br />
on their ISP's site," said Patty Burke, vice president of marketing for<br />
Ramp Networks.</p>
<p>The well-integrated SLIMM solution comes with everything needed to create<br />
and run an email server, connect to the Internet, and set up a network and<br />
an Intranet. It is bundled with Seattle Lab's software: the award-winning<br />
SLmail email server; Emurl, which provides users with access to their email<br />
from anywhere on the Internet; and RemoteNT, which provides remote access<br />
to any system function across the Internet; as well as the Windows NT<br />
Server operating system.</p>
<p>Hardware for SLIMM includes AMD K6 CPU, 64 MB RAM, SVGA monitor, 56K v.90<br />
modem, keyboard, mouse, 3.2 GB and 3-1/2" drives, and the WebRamp M3 router<br />
from Ramp Networks, which doubles as a three-port serial connection and a<br />
four-port network hub.</p>
<p>The Seattle Lab Internet Mail Machine is currently available for an<br />
estimated street price of $3,499.00. SLIMM can be ordered by telephone<br />
(425) 402-6003; by U.S. mail to: SLIMM, Seattle Lab, Inc., 9606 NE 180th<br />
Street, Bothell, WA 98011; or by contacting resellers of Seattle Lab or<br />
Ramp Networks.</p>
