- ================================================
- DEC updates E-Mail, Provides cc:Mail Integration
- ================================================
-
- BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A., 1992 JUN 10 -- Digital Equipment has
- announced a new release of its local area network electronic mail
- integration product, MailWorks Postmaster, that ties DEC's mail systems
- in
- with Lotus Development's PC-based cc:Mail.
-
- MailWorks Postmaster version 2.0 also adds new security features,
- including virus detection and the ability to protect mail messages from
- being read using network analyzers that can monitor the flow of data over
- a network, said Valerie White, product manager.
-
- White told Newsbytes that cc:Mail users will now be able to communicate
- with colleagues who use DEC's Mailworks e-mail. Directories will be
- integrated so users will not have to worry about who is on which system.
- The cc:Mail connection is a first step in providing greater integration
- between DEC's e-mail offering and those of other vendors. White said a
- similar link to Microsoft Mail will be next, and other e-mail products
- will be tied in with Mailworks later.
-
- Mailworks supports DEC's own Pathworks networks, as well as Novell's
- NetWare, 3Com and Banyan Vines networks running on Ethernet or Token Ring
- hardware.
-
- Due to be available in September, Mailworks Postmaster version 2.0 for
- local area networks will cost $1,995. The wide area network version will
- sell for $4,995, and the cc:Mail connection will cost $30.
