PSILink - Personal Internet Access for the PC
Kimberly Brown
FTP and support for high speed V.32 modems and alpha numeric pagers.
Reston, VA - December 9, 1991 - John T. Eldredge, Director of Sales
and Marketing, Performance Systems International, Inc. (PSI), today
announced new capabilities of the turnkey service package, PSILink.
PSILink is a simple service that allows the individual to take
advantage of valuable electronic resources without complicated or
expensive computer hardware or software. In addition to supporting
global electronic mail to over 25 million participants, PSILink now
supports high speed V.32 modems and alpha numeric pagers.
Additionally, the moving of data files from hundreds of thousands of
Internet computers to an individual's computer through Anonymous File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) access can be done.
FTP-capable PSILink with unlimited usage is available now and costs
the same as the original service -- $19 per month for 1200 and 2400
baud access. High speed access of 9600 baud/V.32 is also available
now at only $29 per month. Local dialup points are available in major
cities throughout the continental U.S. Included with either level of
service is the necessary software called, "PSILink, Personal Internet
Access for the PC."
"Our customers also want simple access to the volumes of software and
information publicly available across the Internet," Eldredge
commented, "and with the dropping price for 9600 baud modems, making
them more of a consumer product, our service can perform even more
effectively."
Other applications scheduled for release during the first quarter of
1992 include general FTP, USENET News and X.500, as well as a
Macintosh platform. Expected for release later in 1992 is mobile
radio packet modem and network support, which will be demonstrated at
COMNET in January in Washington, D.C. Geoffrey Goodfellow, President
of Anterior Technology said, "we are pleased to have PSI be the first
commercial e-mail vendor that has implemented RadioMail(TM)
integration in their software package and wired e-mail service."
RadioMail(TM) is a wireless communication gateway service.
The PSILink software contains a Graphic User Interface (GUI) which
provides the same windows and easy to use menu-driven interface for
all applications whether at home, traveling or at work.
