NEW MICROPHONE PRO FOR WINDOWS 2.0 ADDS COMPREHENSIVE INTERNET ACCESS

First general-purpose communications package to support all Internet access
methods

Berkeley, Calif. (January 25, 1995) -- Software Ventures Corporation has
begun shipping the first general-purpose communications package for
Windows to support the full range of Internet connectivity methods. The
new version 2.0 of MicroPhone Pro for Windows comes complete with a TCP/IP
stack that enables users to access the Internet through PPP, SLIP and
TCP/IP network connections as well as through dial-up shell accounts. The
new release also adds Internet e-mail, newsgroup and Telnet tools to
MicroPhone Pro's existing data communications and fax capabilities.
Suggested retail price is $129.95.

According to Software Ventures president David Hindawi, adding Internet
capabilities is the logical next step for general-purpose communications
packages like MicroPhone Pro. "Our goal with the new release of MicroPhone
Pro," said Hindawi, "was to build in the kind of Internet support that
Windows users won't soon outgrow. That means supporting not only the
convenient shell accounts that many people get started with, but also more
powerful PPP, SLIP and network connections. MicroPhone Pro 2.0 is the only
general-purpose communications package that covers all the bases."

Mail, News and Scriptable Telnet

Once connected to the Internet, MicroPhone Pro 2.0 users can take advantage
of new graphical tools that allow them to exchange e-mail and participate
in Internet newsgroups without having to use UNIX commands.

Also included is a new Telnet tool that is capable of running as many
concurrent sessions as memory will allow. Because Telnet sessions can be
automated with MicroPhone Pro's scripting language, users can save time
and money by conducting several communications activities simultaneously,
such as downloading a file in one window while querying a database in
another.

Cross Platform Scripting

Dozens of new scripting functions have been added to the new release of the
Windows version of MicroPhone Pro, bringing it to full parity with the
Macintosh version. As a result, scripts written for one platform can be
easily ported to the other. Large, complex scripts are also easier to
manage thanks to added support for script modules.

MicroPhone Pro 2.0 beefs up its data communications capabilities by adding
Kermit and CompuServe B+ file transfer protocols, both with auto-detect.
Release 2.0 also features a new modem driver architecture that allows
users to add their own modem drivers through a simple dialog. In addition,
the new release supports a universal modem driver as well as more than 400
specific modem drivers.

System Requirements

MicroPhone Pro for Windows 2.0 requires a Windows 3.1 or higher computer
with 2 MB of RAM (4 MB recommended if using a network connection), 3.5 MB
of free disk space, a fax/data modem and an Internet connection for
Internet capabilities.
