ResNova Software, Inc. of Huntington Beach, CA has announced its first major new revision of NovaLink Professional, NovaTerm and associated products. NovaLink Professional is a multi-user "Information Server" that supports traditional VT-100 text-based interfaces as well as a complete graphic user interface for Macintosh computers. The graphic interface is accessible through a modem with NovaTerm 2.1 and over an AppleTalk network with NovaTerm AT 2.1. This new version includes several important enhancements along with standard revisions. Information servers allow companies or individuals to set up "bulletin board" type services, including electronic mail, public file areas, real-time teleconferencing and a range of other capabilities. NovaLink Professional 2.1 extends the information server concept by allowing multiple servers to be linked together through a new capability known as NovaNet@. NovaNet is built into each information server and allows the server administrator to identify a certain time or times for their server to call its specified "Supervisor". Once connected to the supervisor, NovaLink Professional will exchange appropriate private electronic mail and public messages or files that have been sent to a NovaNet@ address. Through use of one of the ResNova-maintained national or international networks, messages and files will travel across the country or world through built-in intelligent routing. Companies can also license their own private NovaNet networks for bridging the gap between servers at different locations. Servers on AppleTalk networks maintain a constant link which makes it possible to extend the limitations for incoming phone lines to a single Mac by inter-connecting multiple computers. This method enables companies to have multiple information servers for users or customers to access. NovaNet is included in NovaLink Professional 2.1 at no additional cost for a limited time as an introductory offer. Yearly connect rates for ResNova-maintained networks are also discounted. ResNova Software will be demonstrating this innovative capability at MacWorld Expo in August, at booth #5542 Additional 2.1 features include complete person to person chatting and group conferencing in an elegant Mac-Like window as depicted below: NovaLink Professional still includes the following features: - Up to 20 Modem and unlimited AppleTalk connections. - Complete support of VT-100 and ANSI terminal emulation - Built-in multitasking system for fast performance. - Complete Windowing User Interface for Macintosh users. - Support of high speed modems inlcuding hardware handshaking. - Flexible menu structure that allows configurable menus - Embedded Command internal programming language - Complete support of External Applications - Built-In Fidonet support through Tabby. - Completely modular file storage system for data integrity - Optional AppleTalk Support NovaLink Professional 2.1 is currently shipping and incentives are being offered for companies who convert from an existing platform to NovaLink Professional.
