THE ACTIVATOR(tm) Advanced Internet Connectivity System
(C)opyright 1997 by R. Lee Heath    All rights reserved.

MANAGE PPP CONNECTIONS REMOTELY: Activator(tm) is a client/server
model designed to manage PPP connections to the Internet! With the
Activator(tm) Database/Server you may manage BOTH Unix and NT based
connections from one location! This includes access, disconnection,
and accounting using a standard MS-Access database. This server
runs completely independent of both Unix and NT PPP dialup servers
but may manage them all.

A DUN ENHANCEMENT: The client is also a substantial enhancement to
DUN (Dial Up Networking) in Windows95 and NT4 that provides for 'one
click' connection to the Internet. In addition, The client will
automatically redial if a disconnection occurs and it elimnates the
need to regularly ping a server to stay connected.

REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE: The Database/Server is designed to interact
continuously with the logged in clients to enhance the quality, security,
monitoring, and centralized management and accounting of PPP connections,
even on multiple dialup servers, no matter where they are located
worldwide, no matter if they are Unix or NT based.

ISPs and CONSULTANTS: Activator(tm) allows ISPs, Internet Consultants,
and BBS systems to intercontract with each other for expanded services
and putting their systems or services up on a planetary access basis on
the internet! Any one with a dedicated connection and a Win95 or NT
server can setup and manage PPP connections on a global scale with
the Activator(tm) system!

AUTOMATED 'PUSH' LOADUP: It is also designed to selectively control
loadup of 'PUSH' technology for clients on the users end.

HIGHER SECURITY CONTROL: All of this is performed via a unique encrypted
and secure client 'key' file produced by the Database/Server by the ISP
that, when placed on the client, fully automates access controls and
both the setup and login processes! In this setup the user never knows
his login and password and cannot hand it out to others.. With this
arrangement, the ISP may literally customize the customer's dialup.

LESS PROBLEMS - LOWER COST: This frees the user from most setup hassles
with a 'one click' connectibility to the Internet, and it frees the ISP
from many related technical support, account security, and management
expenses.

CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT: No matter what group of Unix or NT servers are
used the Activator(tm) Database/Server continuously displays all their
logged in users regardless of their local login location worldwide and
gives the ISP user notification and disconnection or access control 
independent of RAS Server or what ever PPP dialup server is used! The
database is a standard MS-Access database with fields for fully automating
billing by 'Rate Program' and 'Bill Date'. This frees the ISP to manage
all of his PPP dialup servers from just one location and do realtime
access and remote controlled connection management, including instant
disconnection of any user at any time regardless of where he has connected
worldwide.

QUALITY CONTROL: The client and server also continuously test the quality
of the connection and disconnects the user queing him to redial if the
connection is very poor. This can be used to address pertinent connection
quality issues if they exist. 

FOR PPP: The Activator(tm) may be used for pure PPP dialup management or;

FOR EXCALIBUR EIS16: Activator(tm) is a 'PPP Gateway' TO Excalibur based
systems making the Excalibur Client 'PUSH' technology. When an
'Activator(tm) Account' is established for a user, he clicks once, and 
Activator(tm) performs the entire PPP and then tcp/ip login process! This
also breaks the 8-node barrier of EIS16 servers enabling setup of an
unlimited amount of nodes on any one EIS16 server! The client makes use of
standard Windows winsocks, virtually eliminating existing gateway winsocks
compatibilities and throughput problems. Excalibur may also be used for
primary installation of the Activator(tm) client and related keys and
scripts. Addon software already exists for automated access key install.

MORE FEATURES PENDING: There are already, and in the future will be, a
host of unique and exclusive connectivity management features for both
conventional ISPs, consultants, and those expanding the capabilities of
their Excalibur Information Server online systems!

PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY: Activator(tm) is a new original internet
software product copyrighted, using licensed patent pending processes,
and under development by R.Lee Heath.

Client:  Windows95 or NT4
