- #Virtual Access Personal
- Virtual Access Personal is quite simply the best Offline Reader
- that you can get for Compuserve, CIX and the Internet
-
- Personal allows you to send and sort E-mail; download Newsgroups and
- CompuServe Forums that are of interest as well as transfer files
- automatically.
-
- Personal comes complete with everything that you will need: editor, spell
- checker, full communications modules, signatures, E-mail (SMTP and
- POP3), Newsgroups (complete with Get and Kill file strategies), file transfers
- (MIME/UU and CIS Quick B).
-
- Works with Modems, ISDN direct TCP/IP - and of course RAS/DUN on 32 bit
- operating systems.
-
- What more could you need? Virtual Access Business perhaps?
-
- #Virtual Access Business
- Virtual Access Business is the multi user LAN version of Virtual Access. This product
- allows a group of people on your PC network to share a communications
- connection to CompuServe and the Internet.
-
- What happens is that one machine on the network is designated a
- MessageBase 'server' machine. This machine collects and sends all the
- messages to the outside world, and each user on the network collects his or
- her messages from it. The key of being able to share this MessageBase is
- that each user has his own view of which messages have been read and not
- read. In the case of Internet E-mail each user of Virtual Access Business
- has a unique and personal E-mail address, even though there is only one
- modem/ISDN connection for the whole group.
-
- One other key feature of Business is the 'scheduler'. This is a facility which
- automates the connection process. This scheduler is both event and time
- based. An example of an event based scheduling is to perform a connection
- whenever there is an E-mail in the outgoing queue. An example of time
- based scheduling it to connect, say, every 3 hours.
-
- Having read this you will be glad to know that Business has all the
- functionality of Personal as well as the ability to set up internal E-mail and
- Newsgroup areas.
