DGA's OS/2 BASED E-MAIL GATEWAY OFFERS NATIVE SUPPORT FOR LOTUS NOTES RELEASE 4

Connectivity specialist DGA has announced the availability of a new "native" e-mail gateway for Lotus Notes Release 4.1.  Because the product runs on an IBM OS/2 Lotus Notes R4 server, it offers closer integration between the latest version of the Lotus groupware product and IBM host legacy systems, and significant performance improvements.

The latest introduction to DGA's established range of IBM to Lotus e-mail gateways, DGAteway v2.1 is written in 32-bit code, and offers a range of new customable features to provide an improved service, higher levels of automation and improved transparency for users. For example, the memory list can now be dynamically refreshed whenever changes are made to the name and address books. This removes the need to update the memory list periodically. Further, the gateway offers higher performance when using a large list of users, as well as improved maintenance tools which reduce operational costs. There is also a directory synchronization option for Lotus Notes users.

Installation and upgrading has been simplified and on-site support services added for customers wanting to upgrade. Existing customers are able to upgrade to the new gateway under the DGA maintenance service.

The product is available from 2K to 8K GB pounds.

Established in 1984, DGA specializes in software connectivity solutions for the corporate IBM user. The company develops and distributes a range of e-mail gateway products which make the migration and coexistence of e-mail systems easier for businesses. DGA also publishes a range of OS/2 based connectivity solutions.

BMT MICRO ASSUMES iLINK/2 DEVELOPMENT

WILMINGTON, NC (April 8, 1997) - BMT Micro, Inc. announced that it has assumed development of iLink/2 the popular PM Internet dialer for OS/2 Warp 3.0 and 4.0.

iLink/2 was among the first alternatives OS/2 users had to the dialer supplied by IBM and is still the only full featured presentation manager alternative.

"iLink/2 is a breeze to setup and configure," says Thomas Bradford, President of BMT Micro. "The feature set, including auto-redial, autostarts, and information windows along with the extreme ease of setup make this the ideal PM candidate replacement for the dialer that ships with Warp. Now OS/2 users have 2 excellent dialer alternatives - InJoy, the text based dialer continues to be a consistent top seller for users who favor text based applications and iLink/2 for those who prefer PM applications."

The current version of iLink/2 is .99c and has been available since last year. A new release of the registered code (version 99d) is available to all registered users and a shareware version of .99d will be released on April 9th. Current registered users can contact BMT Micro at bmt@wilmington.net for information on how to download the new registered code.

Changes in .99d are:

  1. Ported from Borland to Visual Age C++.
  2. Code changes to increase speed and stability.
