Hello All,
Thanks to Daniel, as you may recall, last month there were multiple threads
(and sub-threads) about this issue. We are finally ready to unveil our
product bundle. With the help of many of you who acted as the beta-site(s)
and gave many inputs for the most-reasonable pricing -- InetMgr Bundle is
now available for downloading.

The WWW site is:
http://www.ccsweb.com/inetmgr
and the ftp site is ftp.primenet.com and the path/file name is:
/users/c/ccsnet/inetbndl.exe

Note: Our ISP, Primenet has been having problems with the FTP Server today.

This bundle is about 2.5MB and includes: InetMgr Installer and Front-end
Menubar, Winsock Dialer, Telnet, FTP, Finger, Ping, NewsReader, and Email.
As you will notice in our home page, we have made this fully registerable
Winsock available for $8/Ea through September.

Please let us know we are on the right track! Thank you for all your support.

Soorena
