fin-info.com PeakSoft Announces Next Generation of Web Browsing Acceleration with PeakJet(TM) 2000, Java Technology Advancements Resu BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON--PeakSoft Corporation (ASE:PKT; OTC-BB:PEAFF), a pioneer in the development of Internet research and communication technology, today announced PeakJet(TM) 2000. PeakSoft invented Web browsing acceleration technology and brought Net.Jet 1.0, later renamed PeakJet, as the first-to-market product in the browsing accelerator category in November 1996. PeakJet 2000 is a Java-based upgrade to PeakJet 1.5 and adds increased browsing speed through the addition of a new Java Runtime Environment which includes Symantec's JIT compiler. Additional user configuration options have been added to increase ease-of-use, the graphical user interface (GUI) has been enhanced, and several new features have been added to improve browsing efficiency. PeakJet 2000 will be available on the PeakSoft Web site (http://www.peak.com) about June 15, 1998 and in retail stores in early July. Priced at $39.95 (Suggested Retail Price), PeakJet 2000's retail package will include two CBT Systems(TM) training programs, "Searching the Internet", and "Understanding and Using Newsgroups", a $200 value at no extra cost to the user. PeakJet 2000 will be available via download from the PeakSoft Web site as an upgrade from PeakJet 1.5, for instant purchase, or as a free trial with secure commerce purchase option. "Although ADSL and ISDN high speed connections are high on the end- user's 'wish list', we're facing some significant delays in any kind of wide-spread affordable availability of high-speed Internet connections," stated Doug Foster, president and CEO of PeakSoft. "PeakJet 1.5 found a market with Internet "early adopters" and we believe there is a growing demand and awareness of web browsing accelerators in the mainstream market." PeakJet 2000 delivers real-time Web acceleration through innovative look-ahead and auto-freshening agents, intelligent cache management, and increased modem utilization. Streamlined cache design and improvements in Java technology result in browsing speed increases from 2 and, in some cases, up to 10 times faster compared to PeakJet 1.5. PeakJet 2000 offers users additional configuration options to customize the program's operation based on individual needs and preferences. Look-ahead agents can be set to grab all links associated with a page, or to select only those links visited at least once previously. This history-based look-ahead option enables users to browse quickly on a net-friendly basis, reducing bandwidth consumption. New features include easy-to-initiate off-line browsing, capability to switch browsers on-the-fly, a "Top 20" list which identifies the users' 20 most frequently visited sites, and an amplified history function called Tracer. The Tracer creates an editable chronological history of all pages visited with date/time stamps and color coding to enable easy retrieval of previously visited pages. The Tracer further enables users to build a session-based browsing system tailored to their individual needs. "PeakJet has been recognized as the fastest browsing accelerator in head-to-head testing by C\|Net," continued Foster. "We've just made it considerably faster and easier to use. For people who need to be more productive online, PeakJet 2000 will result in significant time and hard dollar savings when local phone access is chargeable, making PeakJet 2000 a valuable tool in international markets."
