NotePage, Inc. announces its support of Novell's NetWare 5.1

Hanover, MA - February 7, 2000 - NotePage, Inc. today announced its support of Novell's NetWare 5.1, Novell's directory-based server operating system. Novell's latest server operating system will allow customers to take greater advantage of the growing trend toward using open, Web-based e-business applications, as well as Web-based network management and resources. All of NotePage, Inc's network paging applications including PageGate, WebGate and NotePager Net have been tested and approved to work with Novell's NetWare v5.1.

NotePage's flagship product PageGate is a network paging engine that uses any single or combination of four different interfaces. The gateway allows for e-mail or web messages to be sent to paging devices or digital phones. The graphical user interface allows scheduled, repeating, and or preprogrammed messages to be sent. In addition the commandline /ASCII interface allows for the scanning of a predetermined file for text messages or for commandline paging. PageGate compliments the NetWare design and is a powerful modular application.

NetWare 5.1 provides customers with an ideal platform for Web-based applications with the inclusion of IBM WebSphere, WebSphere Studio and Oracle8i. NetWare 5.1 also allows customers to extend Novell Directory Services to the Web with NDS eDirectory for building and managing secure and customized relationships with customers and partners through the Web. In addition, Novell provides customers with the most dependable and efficient access to network resources.
