Maxum Development Announces Updates To Popular Server Tools

October 4, 1999. Maxum Development, best known for it's award winning line
of Internet server tools, announced updates to it's NetCloak, PageSentry,
and Rumpus products. The latest versions, NetCloak 3.0.2, PageSentry 2.5.2,
and Rumpus 1.3.3 are all available now at the company's Web site, and are
free updates for all registered users of the previous versions. All three
updates fall somewhere between simple maintenance releases and major
feature upgrades.

NetCloak 3.0.2 offers greater flexibility in handling incoming e-mail
messages and improvements for international use, in addition to a number of
bug fixes and minor corrections. PageSentry 2.5.2 also includes several bug
fixes as well as audible warnings when servers fail. The latest incarnation
of Rumpus, version 1.3.3, allows FTP server files to be moved between
directories and resolves a rare problem that occurs when launching the
application on certain systems. All three packages also include a revised
validation scheme, making Internet distribution and upgrades easier for
users.

NetCloak, the very first Internet server application released for the Mac
OS and a past "Eddy Award" winner, adds dynamic capabilities to any
Mac-based Web site. NetCloak Pro now includes all the features of Maxum's
popular NetForms product, which makes Mac Web servers interactive, as well
as dynamic.

PageSentry provides reliable, high-level monitoring of Web, FTP, DNS,
E-mail, and other critical Internet servers. Using client application
Internet protocols, PageSentry tests Internet services and sends warnings
or takes automatic action to ensure crucial servers are always functioning
perfectly.

Rumpus is the premier FTP server for the Mac OS. This dedicated FTP server
offers three different security models, scalable performance, and high-end
speed, combined with the ease-of-use users expect from the Mac.

Founded in 1991, Maxum Development became the first company to ship
commercial Internet products for the Macintosh when it released NetCloak
and NetForms in 1994. Since that time, Maxum has continued to innovate with
a series of unique, widely acclaimed Internet server products.
