Voice, Internet & E-Mail All in One from Infinite Technologies Infinite Voice Professional Edition Combines E-Mail, Internet Connectivity, And Voice Mail in One Affordable Solution

February 3, 1999

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/Infinite
Technologies announces the release of their
newest messaging solution, Infinite Voice
Professional Edition(TM) (IVOICE Pro).
IVOICE Pro is a full featured client/server
e-mail system, Internet gateway, and
e-mail voice attendant offering users a
one-stop solution for all of their
communication needs. The package
combines a powerful IMAP4/POP3 e-mail
server and client, SMTP gateway, and voice
system for a fraction of the cost usually
associated with these components.

The integration of e-mail and voice
technology gives users all of the e-mail
functionality normally available in traditional
e-mail systems via any touch tone
telephone. This includes the ability to reply
to, delete, and forward e-mail messages to
other users. With Infinite Voice, e-mail
messages are accessible from anywhere in
the world without the need of a computer.
Traveling professionals can easily check
messages from the convenience of a
telephone, and users with occasional needs
for timely e-mail access have a simple and
globally accessible method for reading their
e-mail. Remote users also have the ability
to forward e-mail messages to a local fax
for a printed copy.

IVOICE Pro includes a powerful e-mail server
based on open Internet standards, giving
companies a choice of POP3, IMAP4, or
SMTP e-mail environments, or a combination
of the three. Alternatively, they may utilize
the Web access functionality of IVOICE Pro,
and all e-mail users can access their e-mail
via a standard Web browser, from anywhere
in the world. IVOICE Pro also provides
universal remote access to the e-mail
systems using many different means, such
as IMAP4, POP3, SMTP and Web/HTTP. An
SSL version of the mail server is available to
enhance e-mail security. IVOICE Pro is also
a complete Internet gateway, allowing
users to exchange e-mail and file
attachments over the Internet or an
Intranet with either a dedicated or dial-up
connection. It also allows e-mail users to
communicate with users of various e-mail
systems. IVOICE Pro supports e-mail
systems as diverse as cc:Mail, DaVinci,
Eudora, ExpressIT! 2000, Microsoft
Exchange, Outlook, Netscape
Communicator, Lotus Notes, Novell
GroupWise and Pegasus Mail, as well as
other IMAP4 and POP3 mail clients.

IVOICE Pro is also a versatile, 32-bit client
that works with a variety of e-mail systems
including Connect2, IMAP4, MAPI, POP3,
SMF/MHS, SMTP, and VIM. ExpressIT! 2000
provides a multi-protocol alternative to
e-mail packages designed to work with only
one transport. Therefore, it enables users
with changing requirements to use a single
e-mail client.

"Infinite Voice Professional Edition
represents a price/performance
breakthrough for companies that need to
integrate e-mail and voice mail
technologies. Traditionally these products
have been priced too high for all but the
largest corporate users," states Brett
Warthen, CEO of Infinite Technologies.
"Infinite has a proven track record of
providing affordable, real-world applications
of technology that people can use to
improve communications and ultimately their
business operations. With IVOICE Pro's
aggressive pricing, and free 30-day trial
versions, we intend to expand the unified
messaging market," he concluded.

Infinite Voice Professional Edition is a
Microsoft Windows compatible server
application that integrates seamlessly with
any IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, Microsoft Mail,
Microsoft Exchange, Lotus cc:Mail, Lotus
Notes or Connect2 based e-mail system, or
a mixed environment containing multiple
protocols.

Infinite Technologies is pricing IVOICE Pro
aggressively, with License Fees starting at
$549 for a 10-user copy. Infinite Voice
Professional Edition will be available on
February 1, 1999. Fully functional 30-Day
trial versions will be available at
infinitemail.com. Infinite
Technologies can be reached by phone:
410-363-1097, e-mail:
Info@InfiniteMail.com, or fax:
410-363-3779.

Established in 1991, Infinite Technologies
provides a full range of enterprise
messaging solutions to customers
worldwide.

NOTE: The "2" in "Connect2" is superscript.

I haven't tried this> <g> Hilgraeve Ships DropChute(TM) Pro

February 3, 1999

MONROE, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)Hilgraeve Inc.
today announced the availability of
DropChute Pro instant file delivery software,
the best way to send large, time-critical or
confidential files electronically. DropChute
Pro is a reliable, secure, and cost-effective
alternative to email attachments, ftp,
faxes, and overnight packages.

DropChute Pro features encrypted voice
communications (VoIP), enabling users to
privately discuss exchanged files -- the first
software to provide VoIP over the Internet
and TCP/IP networks. DropChute Pro
simplifies use through firewalls and sports a
new, easy-to-learn interface. It lets users
send files of any kind, any size, instantly,
through the Internet, intranets or directly
through modems, reliably and securely. It
makes electronic delivery viable for
businesses that currently ship files in
overnight packages or struggle with
problems associated with email attachments
or ftp. Instant delivery with DropChute Pro
cuts costs and puts an end to garbled
attachments, unreliable delivery, clogged
mail servers and security concerns.

Hilgraeve's new family of DropChute instant
file delivery programs spans the needs of
various classes of users, with intuitive
e-mail like user interfaces, drag-and-drop
simplicity, voice communications, and many
usability advancements. DropChute Lite is
distributed free-of-charge, enabling
enthusiasts and home users to exchange
files instantly and talk to one another using
headsets or keyboards, via Internet,
intranets, or modems; yet lacks
business-oriented features of DropChute Pro
and DropChute Enterprise. DropChute Pro
adds authentication, encryption, data
compression, on-the-fly virus detection,
support for automated network installation
and delivery tracking via pop-up messages
or e-mailed confirmations. DropChute
Enterprise enables businesses to automate
mission-critical information flow, and
integrate instant file delivery with other
enterprise applications.

DropChute Pro security features are
important for users obligated to maintain
privacy, i.e. those in legal, medical or
financial markets. Its encrypted voice
communications allow users to collaborate
on files they are exchanging or talk
free-of-charge through the Internet,
maintaining privacy with RSA Public Key
Authentication and Symmetric Key
Encryption based on Microsoft Cryptography
APIs. Its Internet Rendezvous(TM) feature
(patent-pending) lets users connect
through the Internet even to people who
access the Internet by modem and aren't
presently online. Internet Rendezvous
places a direct-dialed call to the other PC's
modem, instructs that PC to rendezvous on
the Internet and both PCs hang up and
connect through the Internet automatically.

DropChute Pro users can connect
effortlessly through most firewalls without
any threat to security; firewall
administrators can easily prevent use of
DropChute if desired. Hilgraeve also provides
consulting on secure file exchange through
firewalls.

An easy-to-use wizard helps users
distribute free or try-before-you-buy
versions of DropChute to others via email or
diskette, along with a "me " entry that
represents them. Businesses can provide
clients with simple setup kits that set up
their icon, i.e. logo, immediately on client's
desktop, ready for drag-and-drop file
exchange.

New connection processes and usability
improvements enable trouble-free use
through dial-up networking (RAS), cable
modems, and LANs. Other improvements
include background data exchange; visual
and audio clues upon file delivery;
entry-specific "Receive Folders"
automatically segregate files received from
each person into separate folders.

DropChute Pro users can export and import
DropChute entries for easy collaboration
with others. Project coordinators can
distribute entries representing project
participants; system administrators can
distribute " employee" entries for seamless
file exchange within the company network
or remotely. Network installation support
allows companies with site licenses to
centrally install DropChute, with having to
physically go to each PC, through either a
"silent install" process or automated remote
installation using Microsoft SMS (Software
Maintenance Services).

DropChute Pro, compatible with Windows
95, Windows 98 and Windows NT, is
available from Hilgraeve's web site
(www.hilgraeve.com), ZD-Net
(www.zdnet.com) and other electronic
outlets, as well as retailers and distributors
Ingram Micro and Micro Central for $99.95,
SRP. Internet users can download
evaluation copies of DropChute Pro from
Hilgraeve's web site. DropChute Lite is
available free from Hilgraeve's web site and
other popular download sites.

Hilgraeve is a leading solution provider and
strategic ally in meeting mission-critical
communication needs of business. IBM
includes Hilgraeve's HyperACCESS Lite with
OS/2 Warp, and Microsoft includes
Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal with Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.
