this is old, but I wonder if it's still on? *********************************************************************Fremont, CA, November 14, 1995 - (SCKT and SCKTW: NASDAQ SmallCap; Pacific Stock Exchange SOK) A joint development effort between CompuServe and Socket Communications™ will soon make receiving wireless e-mail on a mobile computer as easy as plugging in a PC Card. Beginning in late 1995, CompuServe plans to support Socket's PDF and MMF protocols to format e-mail forwarded to a Socket Communications' PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) alphanumeric pagers. These protocols offer a concise way to preserve the structure of e-mail messages sent across paging carrier networks, and allow long e-mail messages to be split into smaller packets that can be recombined and displayed on mobile computers. At Fall Comdex in Las Vegas, Socket will demonstrate their PageCard® PC Card pager downloading wireless e-mail to multiple mobile hosts, including a Windows notebook, an Apple PowerBook, a Newton MessagePad, an HP 200LX palmtop and a Sharp Zaurus. Socket will also preview Windows software that deposits wireless e-mail from a Socket PageCard directly into the CompuServe WinCIM inbox on a Windows notebook. By the end of the year, CompuServe members will be able to use their pager to receive notification when electronic mail is delivered into their CompuServe mailbox. In addition, CompuServe members and users of other online and Internet services around the world will be able to send alphanumeric messages and numeric codes to CompuServe members' pagers. In early 1996, additional services will allow members to employ SmartRules(SM), which will enable members to filter important messages and forward them to their pagers or other destinations. And members will be able to use their pagers to receive select, personalized information such as stock quotes, sports scores, news, weather and other content from the CompuServe Information Service. Any CompuServe subscriber who has a Socket PageCard will be able to transfer all of this information to a mobile computer's WinCIM inbox. "CompuServe has positioned itself to become the virtual communications center for mobile professionals," said Steve Owens, CompuServe's Strategic Account Manager. "We'll be forwarding voice mail to notebooks and integrating e-mail with faxing and paging. One especially powerful service will be the ability to forward e-mail to a mobile user's pager. If you have a PC Card pager such as the PageCard from Socket Communications, you'll even be able to download long wireless messages directly into your notebook or personal communicator. CompuServe users on the go will be able to receive and store information without getting tied up with cables, phone jacks and modems. Connectivity has never been so easy."
