Netcomber Internet Suite (Beta) for OS/2 Warp
December 11, 1995
IBM has introduced a beta version of an elegant new
Internet suite called Netcomber*, which includes
WWW, Mail, News, FTP, Chat and Telnet. The OS/2 Warp*
version is now available for download and evaluation.
Netcomber complements the IBMs Internet Connection family.
Developed expressly for the casual or novice user, Netcomber
features a clean and simple interface and an integrated
design which brings productive use of the Internet to a new
audience, without an extended learning curve.
Netcomber features a multi-tasking design which allows the
user to send mail, read newsgroups and browse the Web from a
single application, quickly and efficiently. Netcomber's
bookmarks, nicknames, many ease of use features, and an
on-line Internet help guide make this product ideal for the
less technical user who may have concerns about the complexity
of other Internet tools.
Netcomber recently received a very positive reception at both
Internet World and Comdex. See for yourself why the demonstration
caused this excitement by visiting the Netcomber home page
at http://www.raleigh.ibm.com/ncr and selecting the "Software
Updates & Technical Information" option to receive and use
the latest beta version.
We welcome your comments and suggestions to help us ensure
that pending production versions of Netcomber deliver
the greatest value and usability. You can reach us at
