Announcement for Internet-Connect (TM), Version 1.

Core Systems is pleased to announce Internet-Connect, a networking  package
designed for Windows users to get access to the Internet.

Internet-Connect provides a complete Winsock-compliance TCP/IP protocol 
stack for Windows, a set of Internet utilities, Windows-based network 
configuration tools, and a tool kit for Winsock developers, which 
includes library, header files, online reference documentation, and
utilities to capture Winsock API calls and networking data.

The Winsock API and TCP/IP protocol components are implemented entirely  
as DLLs, hence taking up zero below-640K DOS memory. Interface with LAN 
device drivers and most data transfers are implemented via 32-bit VxD 
(Windows Virtual Device Driver). Internet-Connect will run with a packet 
driver, or, via appropriate shims, NDIS and ODI drivers. Internet-Connect 
can run concurrently with most network operating systems, including 
Novell Netware, Microsoft Windows for Workgroup, LAN Manager.

The package includes a Windows-based installation program as well as a 
network configurator to ease TCP/IP setup.

For Winsock developers, Internet-Connect includes a developer's tool  kit
with the product. The kit includes C header file, library, online API 
reference, as well as a debugging tool to capture and log Winsock calls 
dynamically.

A trial version of Internet-Connect will be uploaded to cica and other
archive sites on the Internet. This version has all features as the  full
version, with the following restrictions:

- The trial version can open up to 8 sockets concurrently.
  (The full version has up to 128 concurrent sockets).

The trial version of Internet-Connect is contained in inetcon1.zip.  This
file can be downloaded from cica, directory winsock. We will also be
uploading this to other Internet sites, as well as AOL and CompuServe 
shortly.

Full version of Internet-Connect is priced at $69 (plus S&H) for a limited
time. Please see the uploaded file for order form and how to contact Core
Systems.
