Modem Mail is a NetBIOS-compatible program that lets you use a
modem to send and receive electronic mail messages to and from
your office LAN.
 
Modem Mail 2.0 supports 9600 bit per second (V.32)
telecommunications, double the speed of version 1.0.
 
On your remote PC, you'll need at least 256K bytes RAM, a modem,
and a copy of Modem Mail 2.0. On your dedicated LAN workstation
that receives calls from Modem Mail 2.0, you need a modem, the
base electronic mail packagge called Network Courier 2.0, and
Modem Mail Postoffice software (which provides administrative
functions like a regular post office).
 
One other enhancement to Modem Mail 2.0 is the function of
Mailbag Maintenance, the company says. This lets you pick from
your messages which ones you want to download. Early next year,
the company promises to have a package for Macintosh
connectivity.
 
Price: Network Courier 2.0 and Modem Mail Postoffice, $1490;
Modem Mail 2.0 remote user software for each node, $95.
