Connect! offers an easy to use, high-level, point-and-click configuration panel that initializes new modems, and configures UUCP and e-mail software to exchange e-mail with other computers. Users configure their own systems via a straightforward point-and-click configuration window, and set a small number of options, including modem type and port. Remote e-mail connections are administered in a separate window; users set remote system name, times to call, and access information. Once a computer is configured, e-mail may be automatically exchanged with remote systems. Connect! currently supports Telebit, Zyxel, and most 100% Hayes-compatible modems. Connect! will include support for other modems after the first version ships later this summer. "We wanted Connect! to satisfy most needs of system administrators, yet remain easy enough for our parents to use," said Tim Reed, Connect! co-designer and developer, and administrator for Gotham Users of NeXT, Inc.'s UUCP network. "E-mail is a resource that everyone should have. Now there's no reason for NEXTSTEP users to _not_ be connected," adds Aki Ohno, lead Connect! designer. Black Market Technologies will introduce Connect! for NEXTSTEP on July 4th, 1993 at a special introductory price of $99 per computer. After August 15th, 1993, Connect! will cost $145 per computer. Students and professors with proof of current university affiliation may purchase Connect! for $45 per computer. Black Market Technologies is a privately held consulting and development firm located in Brooklyn, NY, that designs, integrates, and supports fault-resistant trading systems and other large systems, and develops administrative tools for technical and non-technical NEXTSTEP users. Connect! is a trademark of Black Market Technologies. All other trademarks belong to their respective owners.
