Joint Use of One Internet Access
Internet access is especially simple for KEN! Users. Using a
standard browser, KEN! takes care of access for all comput-
ers in the network, liberating the users from the tasks of es-
tablishing and clearing down connections.
KEN! facilitates the shared use of one Internet access, reduc-
ing costs in a number of ways:
• Two, three or more users can use one channel at the
same time to surf the Internet. The other B channel re-
mains free for such tasks as fax reception or incoming
telephone calls.
• KEN! independently establishes and clears down the
connection to your Internet provider as needed.
• Recalling Internet pages is fast and economical with
KEN!, as KEN! saves recently visited Internet sites in a
cache.
• All users in your network have access to the Internet
with KEN!, with KEN! transmitting Internet data on be-
half of all users.
The KEN! package includes the current browsers from Mi-
crosoft and Netscape.
Sending and Receiving E-mail
Every KEN! User can send and receive E-mail messages with
common E-mail applications such as those from Microsoft
and Netscape.
KEN! provides your network with a powerful E-mail server
which sends E-mail from your network into the Internet, au-
tomatically picks up E-mail from your Internet provider, and
distributes messages individually to each user addressed.
In addition to E-mail exchange with the Internet, the KEN!
E-mail server also facilitates the exchange of internal E-mail.
This means KEN! can be used to send and receive E-mail free
of transmission charges within your network.
