This is a press release (not an ad) which may be of interest. ================================================= PRESS RELEASE Saroff Design, a software development house in Missoula, Montana, has announced the commercial release of a unique and timely communication product. FreeMail is a Windows software package which allows stand-alone PCs to exchange unlimited and free e-mail with other PCs. FreeMail does not require a computer network; FreeMail uses regular telephone lines and standard modems and is easier to use than simple fax machines. Unlike other e-mail packages, only one copy of FreeMail must be purchased: unlimited copies of 'FreeMail Children' can then be given away, allowing fast file and e-mail transfers between the FreeMail 'Parent' and any 'Child'. FreeMail is pleasant to use and is ideal for people who want to exchange letters / news letters, or files electronically without incurring the on-going membership costs of commercial on-line services. Designed simply, FreeMail is the perfect software for grandchildren to stay in touch with their grandparents; for college professors to send and accept assignments to and from their students; for newsrooms to receive stories from their off-site reporters; and for businesses to provide their own on-line customer support. This is done with minimal phone time: FreeMail is a client-server package, and all connections and exchanges are fully automatic, meaning that long-distance charges will be less than what the postage would have cost to send the same amount of e-mail, and that a single phone line can handle a tremendous amount of e-mail traffic. The store-and-forward way in which FreeMail works means that you can leave messages and files to be 'picked up' by callers at a future time, or you can send your messages and files immediately. A single copy of FreeMail can make any place an information center. FREEMAIL WILL WORK AT HOME. FreeMail uses 'software ring-detection' which allows homes with a single phone line to be able to receive e-mail and files. FreeMail can be used without having to buy any sort of data switch box. FreeMail can work without interfering with answering or fax machines which may also be on the same phone line. 'Software ring-detection' is unique; no other communication product does what FreeMail does. USES OF FREEMAIL. With FreeMail you can set up an on-line support and news center with just one phone line. People use FreeMail for fast, free, distribution of newsletters, price information, catalogues, graphic files, tech-support answers, software up-dates, and e-mail. FreeMail lets people who are working together on any sort of project easily exchange their work files and notes. FreeMail is used for automated transfer of daily backup-files. FreeMail is the perfect software package for exchanging personal letters. FreeMail has built-in security, as well as automatic site polling and restriction times for calls. (Site polling can be used to automatically exchange e-mail and files at set times during the day or the week.) Any kind of file can be exchanged with FreeMail. If you are using Windows and own a modem, FreeMail will work for you. FreeMail will make your life easier. The list price for FreeMail is $74.95 plus $5.00 for shipping & handling ($15.00 for overnight FedX) We have a no-risk return policy. If, for any reason you are not fully satisfied with FreeMail, return it (diskette and manual) to us within 30 days for a refund of your purchase price. For more information, or to place an order contact: Saroff Design 1901 Missoula Avenue Missoula, MT 59802 (406) 542-3867 or ssaroff@aol.com FreeMail is now shipping.
