Black Market Technologies Ships Complete E-mail and UUCP Setup and Administration Software for NEXTSTEP

BROOKLYN, NY - Black Market Technologies announced first shipments
of Connect It!, a new software application for setting up modems,
UUCP, and e-mail for NEXTSTEP computers.

Connect It! offers an easy to use, high-level, point-and-click
administrative interface for technical and non-technical users that
initializes new modems and configures operating system software to
exchange e-mail with other NEXTSTEP and UNIX computers. Users may
configure their own systems by setting a small number of options,
including modem type, speed, and port, or accepting the default
setup selected for their particular modem and system requirements.
Remote e-mail connections are administered in a similar easy-to-use
window; users set remote system name, time to call, remote dial-in
and other information.  Once a computer is configured, e-mail may
be automatically exchanged with any number of remote systems.

Connect It! currently supports the following modems:
	Telebit 1500
	Telebit Trailblazer+
	Telebit 2500
	Telebit Worldblazer
	Zyxel U-1496E
	USR Sportster
	Dove Fax (in non-fax mode only)
	Some 100% Hayes-compatible modems

The HSD and Supra modems will be officially supported shortly.
Connect It! is also compatible with NXFax from Black and White
Software, Inc., and requires NEXTSTEP 3.0 or 3.1 on NeXT or Intel
computers.  Connect It! supports UUCP over a network connection,
including SLIP, PPP, or standard TCP/IP.

Connect It! works with most commercial e-mail service providers,
including Netcom and UUNET.  PSI/Net support is in beta test and
will be included in a subsequent release on August 15th, 1993.

Connect It! for NEXTSTEP is available at a special introductory
price of $99 per computer.  After August 30th, 1993, Connect It!
will cost $145 per computer. Students and university staff with
proof of current university affiliation may purchase Connect It!
directly from Black Market Technologies for $45 per computer.
Those paying with credit card may purchase Connect It! from MacAdam
Computers (Phone: 800-697-5696) and Alpine Computers (Phone:
801-268-8877).

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.
