NETCOM On-Line Communication Services, Inc. announced the first Internet software package aimed at providing business professionals a comprehensive utility set for productive use of the Internet. Called NETCOMplete, this comprehensive package includes both NETCOM-developed tools and 13 applications from leading industry partners.

"NETCOMplete was developed for people who use the Internet to be more productive in their work and personal activity. These users comprise the core of our customer base," said Scott Wills, senior vice president of sales, marketing, and on-line services. "By partnering with industry-leading software developers to create a comprehensive package, we not only give customers fast, easy access to the Internet, we help make that time more efficient by giving them tools that process e-mail more easily, download information to read off-line, manage graphic files, conduct phone conversations, and more."

Available for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, the new software integrates NETCOM versions of popular third-party Internet applications. NETCOM chose these applications and utilities to enhance the productivity and quality of the overall customer experience. For example, NETCOM Unplugged by WebEx, allows users to download any Web-base information for off-line viewing or printing at a more convenient time, while OnBase's DragNet provides a Net address book tool to better manage users' bookmarks. In addition, NETCOMplete incorporates QUALCOMM's easy to use e-mail package, Eudora Pro(R).

Targeted at business professionals and individuals, NETCOMplete is available in two versions to accommodate users who want a basic product to access the Internet and those who prefer a more feature rich offering. With a suggested retail price of $39.95, the full-featured NETCOMplete version is the most comprehensive Internet access software package on the market today with over $400 worth of software including NETCOM versions of the following:

* Netscape Navigator(TM) 3.0 Internet software
