Direct Network Access offers inexpensive access to the Internet from 
Windows over SLIP.  We currently have an operating Point of Presence 
(POP) in Berkeley and are planning to set up additional POPs 
in San Francisco (local call from Sausalito to South San Francisco) and 
Mountain View (local call from Redwood City to San Jose).

We're planning the next POP and asking you Net readers to help us decide
which one should go in first: Mountain View or San Francisco. So
here is your chance to cast your voice for easy Internet access in
your area. Read the description of the service below and if you
like it send an email message to support@dnai.com.  The body of
the message should include either "Mountain View" or "San Francisco".
The number of votes coming from each region will strongly affect our
decision.

We will post this message again so please let us know if you think that 
there are other news groups that are appropriate for this message or
newsgroups we should stop posting to.

		DirNet Tools for MS-Windows 

The DirNet Tools for Windows is a package of software, documentation,
and on-line help tools that enable Windows users to access Internet
services such as Mosaic, Ftp and email.  DirNet Tools for Windows
includes the book "The Windows Internet Tour Guide," Netmanage's
"Chameleon Sampler" software , and the DirNet Tools disks. The
book the Windows Internet Tour Guide both introduces users to the
Internet and explains how to use the programs provided with the
package.  Netmanage's "Chameleon Sampler" includes the software to
connect to the Internet and communicate with other people while
connected. The Dirnet Tools disks round up the package by including
a collection of public domain and shareware programs. 
Users don't need to learn how to configure the connection to the
network or learn any of the Unix commands to fetch data.  Instead,
they simply use MS-Windows programs that are pre-configured to work
with Direct Network Access computers.

The package includes the following programs:

* Mail -- A program to send, receive and store electronic mail
* Mosaic -- A program to access hypermedia objects on the Internet: text, 
    graphic, sound and video 
* Trumpet News  -- A shareware program to read and post to
    thousands of Usenet News groups including the ClariNet
    Electronic Newspaper with news from both Reuters and Associated
    Press. 
* Gopher and Ftp -- Programs to fetch files and programs from other 
    computers on the Internet 
* WinIrc --A program to converse with people currently logged in 
    to the Internet 
* Telnet and TN3270 -- Programs to log onto remote computers


    DirNet Tools is easy to use and install. Users with no previous
experience with the Internet installed the package in less than thirty
minutes with no help. The Windows programs are intuitive and
easy to use; most provide on-line help. In addition, "The Windows
Internet Tour Guide," a book that is included in the package, contains
detailed descriptions of many of the programs.  Direct Network Access
also provides Mosaic pages that describe the Windows Internet applications.
    This ease of use does not come at the expense of power. You can
perform multiple tasks at the same time.  While your Gopher downloads
files, you can read Usenet News. While Mosaic fetches a WWW page,
you can compose and send an email message. And Unix users still have
the option of opening one or more Telnet session to connect to remote
sites.

    In addition to the software users get with the package, Direct
Network Access makes additional programs available on its hosts. Users
can get Cello, an alternative to Mosaic, WAIS, a tool for performing
searches on the Internet, WinVn to read News, and other programs. We will
continue to investigate, configure and make new tools available to our
users.

MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
Try either of our packages for fifteen days. If you don't like the
package, send it back and get a refund for both the setup and the monthly
fees.
