Announcement for Internet-Connect (TM), Version 1.
--------------------------------------------------
Core Systems is pleased to announce Internet-Connect, a networking
package designed for Windows users to get access to the Internet.
Internet-Connect provides a complete Winsock-compliance TCP/IP protocol
stack for Windows, a set of Internet utilities, Windows-based network
configuration tools, and a tool kit for Winsock developers, which
includes library, header files, online reference documentation, and
utilities to capture Winsock API calls and networking data.
The Winsock API and TCP/IP protocol components are implemented entirely
as DLLs, hence taking up zero below-640K DOS memory. Interface with LAN
device drivers and most data transfers are implemented via 32-bit VxD
(Windows Virtual Device Driver). Internet-Connect will run with a packet
driver, or, via appropriate shims, NDIS and ODI drivers. Internet-Connect
can run concurrently with most network operating systems, including
Novell Netware, Microsoft Windows for Workgroup, LAN Manager.
The package includes a Windows-based installation program as well as a
network configurator to ease TCP/IP setup.
For Winsock developers, Internet-Connect includes a developer's tool
kit with the product. The kit includes C header file, library, online API
reference, as well as a debugging tool to capture and log Winsock calls
dynamically.
A trial version of Internet-Connect will be uploaded to cica and other
archive sites on the Internet. This version has all features as the
full version, with the following restrictions:
- Only one copy of the trial version can be running on a network
segment at a time.
- The trial version can open up to 8 sockets concurrently. (The
full version has up to 128 concurrent sockets).
The trial version of Internet-Connect is contained in inetcon1.zip.
This file can be downloaded from cica, directory winsock. We will also
be uploading this to other Internet sites, as well as AOL and CompuServe
shortly.
Full version of Internet-Connect is priced at $69 (plus S&H) for
a limited time. Please see the uploaded file for order form and how
to contact Core Systems.
