|
"By offering our customers a true starter kit, including electronic mail,

|
Eagle advances its commitment to provide cost effective network
|
||
|

|
||
|
Mail is perfectly suited to NetWare Lite and based on Futurus' five years
|
||
|
of successful experience, Lite Mail was the obvious choice," he added.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Futurus Lite Mail is designed to meet the needs of first-time network users
|
||
|
through a comfortable and intuitive interface. In addition to low memory

|
||
|
viewing of faxes as well as gateway communications with other hosts such
|
||
|
as MCI Mail and X.400. Other features include file attachments, carbon
|
||
|
copying, blind carbon copying, and unique "bumpable" technology to easily
|
||
|
and economically increase the number of allowable users one by one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Futurus Lite Mail provides NetWare Lite users with true person-to-person
|
||
|
connectivity," said Futurus President J. Robert Martinson. "We are pleased

|
||
|
Technology," he added.

According to Ladd Timpson, Product Line Manager of Novell, Inc., "We're
|
||
|
excited that Eagle Technology is adding Futurus Lite Mail to its NetWare
|
||
|
Lite Starter Kit and Add-On Kit. Lite Mail enhances the standard E-mail
|
||
|
capabilities by providing a Chat utility and a Phone Message Center -
|
||
|
features that allow NetWare Lite users to immediately experience the
|
||
|
benefits of networking."
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
