HIGHLIGHTS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Digital has expanded its reselling agreement with Netscape Communications,
Inc., to include Netscape Navigator Personal Edition V1.2 for Windows 3.1
and Windows 95 software, which gives PC users one-button access to the
Internet.
Netscape Navigator Personal Edition delivers access to the Internet to
anyone with a PC and modem. It includes
o All the features of the original Netscape Navigator
o Eudora Light e-mail from QUALCOMM (lets users send and receive e-mail,
create personal address books and distribution lists, attach files
including graphics and sound, and read and create e-mail offline to
reduce access charges)
o Network TeleSystems protocol software for TCP/IP connectivity to the
Internet
o ShivaPPP client software from Shiva Corporation, which provides users
with high performance, reliable remote-access connectivity at bandwidths
of 14.4 or higher -- offers multiple simultaneous loading of text and
images.
o Netscape Navigator Personal Edition incorporates the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protocol and RSA encryption technologies for integrated security --
when used in conjunction with a secure server, a user can communicate
financial or other confidential information safely.
As part of its new product offering, Netscape has teamed with Internet
Service Providers (ISPs), including MCI Communications Corporation, NETCOM
OnLine Communications Services, Portal Information Network, and UUNET
Technologies, Inc., to ensure that Personal Edition users can choose the
most reliable and cost effective Internet access more easily than ever
before.
When first installed, the Registration Wizard presents a short series of
one-button online forms that guide users through the installation process
and connects them to Netscape's hypermedia list of available ISPs. Once the
user selects one, the software automatically sets up an account with the
chosen provider. From then on, Netscape Navigator Personal Edition dials the
service provider directly when launched.

protocols or modem scripts
o Everything in one package -- Includes everything needed to access all the
important Internet resources including the World Wide Web, e-mail, news
