------------------------------------------------------------------------ EasyBoard Venray RemoteAccess/Pro Brochure 931220 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER Wherever they are - in the next room or on the other side of the world. A Bulletin Board System is the fastest, most cost-effective, and secure way of linking people together - both privately and for open discussion. But E-Mail is just one of RemoteAccess' many talents. Add a modem and a telephone line, and you have a 24 hour hotline which anyone with a computer and a modem can access. Here are just a few of the many appli- cations that RemoteAccess is used for today: * Enabling sales representatives to automatically receive new product information while working in the field, * Providing a 24 hour technical support line for computer hard- ware and software customers, including inexpensive and effi- cient distribution of software upgrades, * Sending important information quickly and safely between a number of remote locations. (Sending text-based information is faster and less expensive than using a Fax), * Providing public and private information database services for members of professional associations and other organisations, * Opening up new channels through which products and services can be sold 24 hours a day, * RemoteAccess is also used in a number of schools and colleges to give students an introduction into the exciting world of electronic communications. EASY TO SET UP, EVEN EASIER TO USE Choose the ready-to-go configuration we provide and you'll be waiting for your first call twenty minutes later. Make a few changes and you'll get a taste of real power. Our integrated full-screen configuration manager places total control at your fingertips, all in one highly intuitive environment. In fact, you'll discover that there isn't much you can't change to suit your requirements. Right down to the exact colour and text of everything your users see - and you don't need to know anything about programming, either. Your users will be amazed at how easy RemoteAccess is to use, even if they have never used a computer and a modem before. With RemoteAccess they won't even need to type in their name! (Requires compatible termi- nal software). It all comes down to complete management of your online environment - from state-of-the-art user and security management to unparallelled flexibility. YOU GET EVERYTHING IN ONE CONVENIENT PACKAGE The best E-mail around. Enter and read messages using our easy to learn fullscreen user interface. Send messages to individuals as well as groups of users with powerful facilities such as carbon copies, return receipts and auto-message forwarding. RemoteAccess allows you to define thousands of separate message areas, each with their own read, write and sysop access criteria. Want to send that Lotus or WordPerfect data file to a friend or associa- te? RemoteAccess has a comprehensive file transfer system to make any file transfer task a snap. Attach files to messages, or make them available to groups of users. Send and receive files with advanced transfer protocols such as Zmodem, or use your own external protocol modules. Scan uploads and maintain file areas complete automatically - our file database system provides convenient and flexible search facili- ties to enable you and your users to find any file with a minimum of effort. Other features include multi-lingual support, a questionnaire scripting language, automated user subscription and accounting system, full network support, real-time conferencing, and compatibility with hundreds of third-party optional modules. Add to all of this a proven track record; RemoteAccess is the package of choice at thousands of installations worldwide. High quality and timely software upgrades keep you at the leading edge of BBS technology. PEACE OF MIND In today's world of telecommunications technology and hackers, nothing can be taken for granted. You must always assume that someone will try to break it or steal it - for no reason other than the challenge. Now you don't have to worry. We're minding the store for you with our built- in security features. RemoteAccess allows you to configure security level and access flag setting combinations for message areas and groups, file areas and groups, menu items, languages and more. Yet security levels and access flags are not the extent of the security features you'll find in Remote- Access. Every feature was implemented with security in mind. Features such as forced user password changes (optional), minimum password lengths, security filters and security watchdog message functions all work together to ensure a secure operating environment. THE BEST TECHNICAL SUPPORT All of our authorised resellers have specialised knowledge in the area of E-mail and data communications. You will always receive quality support because they know the product. Our people are all software professionals who are dedicated to providing you with the best service in the business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REMOTEACCESS 2.0 FEATURE SUMMARY GENERAL * Full-screen integrated configurations environment. * Multi-node; support for up to 250 concurrent users (requires ap- proximately 350K of memory for each node). * Full Local Area Network (LAN) support including enhanced functions under NetBIOS compatible LANs. * Support for DESQview, DoubleDOS, MultiLink, PC-MOS/386, TopView and Windows multitaskers. * Support for detection and time-slicing for OS/2 2.xx. * Support multi-line on-line messages between nodes. * Selectable logging format for enhanced system integration. * Full system and user audit security logging. * Support for the popular FidoNet technology. * Direct support for high speed modems up to 38,400 baud. * Support for Hercules and EGA/VGA video display cards. * Full support for 16550 buffered serial I/O devices. * Built-in screen blanker while in "wait for call" mode. * Optional keyboard and configurations password security lock. * Automatic remote ANSI detection (support terminal programs that are ANSI x3.64 compliant). * Support for Interactive EMSI automated log-on and user parameter detection, eliminating the need for users to enter their name and password at log-on (requires IEMSI-compatible software). * Support for Ralph Brown's Alternate Multiplexer Interrupt Specifi- cation (AMIS0 is built into the Network Manager TSRprogram RATSR). * XMS swapping support.
