- FrontDoor APX
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- EasyBoard Venray is pleased to introduce FrontDoor APX, the premier
- electronic mail system for points.
-
- FrontDoor APX (pronounced "APEX") is the first and only COMPLETE
- electronic mail and file transfer system specially designed for
- points, requiring no additional software, such as conference mail
- processors, compression software, FOSSIL drivers or external
- utilities and will operate in a minimum system environment of 400kb
- of diskspace and 384k of RAM.
-
- Electronic mail brings new dimensions of usefulness to the Personal
- Computer. With FrontDoor APX, it is easy to set up new paths of
- communications within an organization using equipment that in most
- cases is already present. Requiring no more than a laptop or a PC, a
- telephone line and a modem, FrontDoor APX transfers mail and files
- with a designated server. If the final destination is somewhere other
- than the designated server or another FrontDoor APX user not serviced
- by the same designated server, the message and files will be
- transferred to the recipient's designated server via your server.
-
- Many companies are using modems and ordinary terminal programs to
- transfer information. For example, a spreadsheet has to be
- transferred from a branch office to the main office several times a
- week. With ordinary terminal software, this requires two employees,
- one at each end to initiate the transfer. It often takes several
- failed attempts before the file goes through properly. In addition
- to the cost of having personnel supervising something that two
- machines should be able to accomplish on their own, it may also
- require hours of telephone time at unnecessarily high phone rates.
-
- In contrast, FrontDoor APX can accomplish the same task in a session
- that automatically dials the server and negotiates a session with
- multiple security check-points to ensure the protection of valuable
- information. It will then transfer the files, along with any
- messages, to the server using reliable file transfer protocols with
- advanced (32-bit CRC) error checking to guarantee data integrity.
- Waiting messages and files are received during the same session, and
- then FrontDoor APX automatically terminates the completed session.
-
- Reliable communication means that nothing is distorted or corrupted
- during the transfer, even across extremely poor line conditions. If a
- FAX were to be used to send a manuscript back and forth for repeated
- editing and revisions, it would very soon be completely illegible.
- With FrontDoor APX, the actual file can be sent back and forth an
- unlimited number of times without ever losing a single character. An
- added advantage is that the same software can be used to edit the
- document at both locations.
-
- FrontDoor APX makes inter-connectivity a reality today.
-
- With the easy installation, coupled with an extensive on-line help
- system available at the touch of a key, FrontDoor APX can be
- installed and configured in less than 15 minutes by most users.
- Anyone can configure and use FrontDoor APX in minutes, experience in
- electronic mail systems is not required.
-
- Security comes naturally with FrontDoor APX, providing session and
- packet password security.
-
- FrontDoor APX is designed to operate with a single server, such as
- FrontDoor. All transactions are with the server system, affording
- management control of all transfers. A network can be configured to
- include as little as a single FrontDoor Server and a single FrontDoor
- APX point, or it can include unlimited FrontDoor APX points operating
- under multiple FrontDoor Servers. FrontDoor APX and FrontDoor can
- meet your requirements, whatever they are.
-
- FrontDoor APX is clearly the front runner in electronic mail systems
- for networks utilizing the point concept. Combined with the power of
- a FrontDoor server, an effective, secure and manageable electronic
- mail network provides the ultimate in electronic communciations.
