Here's news of a great Internet communications application we are releasing FIRST for the Mac (Windows version to follow shortly). We truly believe it will benefit the Mac community. You be the judge.... "AHOY!" let's you call other users DIRECTLY on the Internet, especially friends and colleagues who have dynamic IP addresses through their ISPs. No need for prearranged meetings, separate phone calls, 411 sites, and IRC servers for setting up person-to-person connections. Just click the Search button, and AHOY! will find the remote party, givingyou their current full 32 bit IP address. If the remote party decides to answer your call, you can carry on a private text based chat (within AHOY!) -- or set up a CoolTalk session or video conference link automatically. Again, no separate calls or logging on to remote servers. Ever wanted to tell someone about a web site? With AHOY! just click the browser button and the URL displayed on your Netscape or Explorer browser automatically sends your correspondent's browser to your URL! If you want more info or want to download AHOY!, just point your browser to: http://www.quicomm2.com/AHOY/ahoy.html The application (which runs native on both 680x0 and PowerPC machines AND directly supports both MacTCP and Open Transport), plus documentation, are provided in the installation. You can even demo the AHOY! in a fully functional mode. Our intentions are to help keep Mac users a leading edge force.... and to show the personal computer industry that there are still developers who FIRST release new innovative products for the Macintosh platform! So, please accept our apologies if you find this announcement intrusive. Thanks. J. Marshall
