FREE AGENT BENEFITS

Reduce Your Connect Time Charges

If you pay for your connect time or you have monthly limits on usage, Free Agent's offline capabilities can save you money, particularly in countries where even local telephone charges are high. With Free Agent you can go online to post or retrieve messages and then read or compose messages offline at your leisure.

Save Time By Getting Only The Information You Need

With all the different newsgroups and postings that appear on the Usenet, Free Agent's Search and Find features allow you to quickly get to the information you are looking for. When you come across a discussion "thread" that contains interesting or valuable information that you would like to monitor, Free Agent's Watch Thread feature keeps track of the thread and automatically downloads any new postings made in response to the original message. By the same token, you can mark threads that you don't want to follow and Free Agent will ignore the entire thread when you retrieve new messages. By taking advantage of these Free Agent features, you spend less time filtering through unwanted postings in the newsgroups and more time reading and responding to postings that are important to you.

32-Bit Application Optimized For Your Windows 95/NT Operating System

The new Free Agent 1.1 is available in a 32-bit native Windows 95 and NT version that is optimized to take advantage of your operating system. For example, Free Agent 1.1 utilizes Windows 95 dial-up networking (DUN) and it supports Windows NT Remote Access Services (RAS).

Display Newsgroups In Your Native Language

Free Agent 1.1 now supports up to 255 languages. This means that you can read messages in newsgroups containing various character sets not used in the English language. For example, you can define your Russian newsgroups to display and print messages using a Cyrillic font. In addition, Free Agent will use the Cyrillic font in the composition window when you post a new message to any of the defined newsgroups. If you are multilingual, you can configure Free Agent to have different languages and fonts associated with various newsgroups.
