The
functions
that programs like Callwave can provide are very similar to
what
netINS can offer you for free! If your computer has a modem that
uses
the v.92 protocol with Modem On Hold† as a supported
feature
you can take advantage of these features today.
There
is
one major difference between Modem On Hold† and
Callwave.
The difference is that Callwave can record a voicemail
for
you that you can listen to once you connect to the Internet. Both
technologies
allow you to determine if you have an incoming call and discover
the identity
of the caller if you have purchased Caller ID service from your
telephone
company.
Check
out our new eSupport
site to compare the two and choose the tool that's right for
you!

netINS
is pleased to introduce you to our new home
page!
Looksmart,
our former content provider has eliminated the portion of their
business
that provided our former home page with Internet content. As a
result
of this we have redesigned our homepage with replacements for the
most
popular features that Looksmart offered.
You'll notice at the top of the page there are
links to
numerous News gathering websites. Also on the new page is a login
area
for netINS Web-Based email and our new Web Search partner is
Google! Google
has quickly become the most popular search engine on the Internet
with
good reason; searches performed on Google generally provide the
best matches.
Weather information is provided also, you can enter your zip code
and
you will be directed to The Weather Channel's content regarding
your town!
Our
hope is that you enjoy the new simple layout of http://netINS.net
and look forward to continually improving it!

Cut
down on Unwanted "SPAM" Email!
The new
email server installed last winter has the capabilities to cut
down on
"spam" by setting up filters. "Spam" is a
common nickname
for unsolicited bulk email. The filters are available through the
webmail
client but are rather complicated. We have written 4 (ready-made)
filters
with step by step instructions and diagrams. Use the instructions
to build these filters and do away with a good portion of the
"spam"
you get everyday. Feel free to build more "custom"
filters in
the Webmail interface as you feel more comfortable with the
process!

With
the implementation of our new mail servers, netINS is now scanning
all
emails for virus content. Messages (inbound, or outbound) that
contain
a virus are cleaned (virus is removed) and then bounced back to
the originator.
If the "cleansing" step cannot be completed, then the message is
bounced
with a note that it contained a virus. The attachment with the
virus is
removed from the bounce message. Virus definitions are provided by
McAfee
Virus-Scan software. This is one of the first steps in many new
features
that we will be implementing in the coming months as a result of
having
moved to the new mail server.

- 07-December-2001
The new
mail servers are now up and functional. The changes listed http://netINS.net/convert/
are nescessary
for you to be able to connect to the Internet. If you are having
trouble
connecting please contact tech support at 1-800-205-1110.
The transition
to the new servers resulted in a service outage that we regret. We
apologize
for any inconvenience the maintenance may have caused. Look for
announcements
in the coming weeks regarding the new features you'll be able to
take
advantage of as a result of the new servers being in
place!
In the
past you used your username (john) and password to connect
to netINS.
In order for us to switch to the new system we need you to use
your email
address (john@netins.net) and password instead. NOTE: Your
password
will NOT change as a result of this upgrade.

We
are pleased to announce a new service, free of charge to netINS
customers.
The netINS Unreal Tournament Server is now available for high
speed connections!
Fans of the successful Unreal gaming franchise may now log on and
play
with up to 15 others at a time. While access may be available to
those
connecting with a dialup modem, it is not recommended. Slow
(56Kbps or
less) connections will disrupt the gameplay for all participants,
even
if all others are on high speed connections.
To get access, simply point your broswer to the netINS Unreal
Tournament
page at:
http://netins.net/gameserver/
From there, you will need to enter your email username and
password and
submit. If you successfully submitted your password, you will be
provided
with the current IP address and password for the game server. This
information
will change, so it is important to stop back here often.
In addition, netINS Technical Support will not be able to assist
in troubleshooting
connection issues to the server or software configuration. In the
event
of a server outage or network downtime, Tech Support will be
available
to provide such information. As always, their telephone number is

o Internet Access
o E-mail, both sending and receiving
o Web Browsing
o Basic and Enhanced Showcase websites
o Email services for Enhanced Showcase sites
o Usenet News
o Shell/Telnet Access to worf.netins.net
We will make every effort to minimize the downtime of these
services.
We hope to have the maintenance completed by 5:00 AM, but we are
reserving
the entire maintenance window. This maintenance will downgrade
the software
in our data storage devices to a previous release of software.
All attempts
by the vendor to resolve our persistent e-mail problems that
have existed
for several weeks have been futile.
Thanks for your patience during these maintenance activities.

The
main netINS servers will be down for maintenance on Thursday, May
17,
2001 from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. Because these servers are in a
clustered
environment, all netINS services will continue to be available
during
the majority of this period. However, all services will have
several short
durations of downtime when they are relocated to one of the other
cluster
members. Downtimes for any of these services will be a matter of a
few
minutes (less than 10), with the exception of DNS. When the DNS
services
are moved to other cluster members, there will be a period of
approximately
45 minutes of downtime to restart the DNS server. During these
outages,
any attempts to perform web browsing, send or receive e-mail, or
read
Usenet news will be disrupted. We will attempt to schedule the
maintenance
such that there is only one or two periods where DNS is impacted.
We expect to complete this system maintenance (adding additional
memory
and disk drives/swap space) during this period of time. If we
are unable
to complete the maintenance during this window, we will reserve
the
period of 2:00 to 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 22 as an alternate
window
for the maintenance.
Thanks for your patience during this maintenance
activity.
