Passport enhancement - Manatee
Manatee is a PC program that enhances Passport.
Manatee has both interactive and automated features
that make Passport easier and more efficient to use.
Manatee's interactive features allow you to maintain
a long list of userids and products from which you can
select sessions to sign on.
Manatee's automated features let you build automated
applications with your host in minutes instead of months.
Manatee replaces the use of Passport scripts and HLLAPI
programs with an incredibly simple, yet extremely powerful
automation tool.
Manatee sits between nearly any host and PC application
and handles connectivity, file transfer, messaging, logging,
and error recovery.
For most systems Manatee's session retry feature provides 99% net
success rate over unreliable dial lines.
Contact us to find out more about how Manatee can help
you automate sessions with your host.
Filelink - Insurance companies automate rate updates
With Filelink, Insurance companies distribute rate information,
in programs or data, from headquarters to remote agencies.
Excellent prices and many features make this an attractive product.
Error recover and automatic retry over dial connections
greatly reduce the number of problems so technical support
is kept to a minimum.
Updates are performed automatically.
