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.
