PSP Introduces PS. MegaMail for its Web/Email Hosting Service

BELLEVUE, WA - July 18, 2003 - Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. 
(PSP), Bellevue-based computer / Internet-related firm, has added 
a new option, “PS.MegaMail,” to their “Dreamersi.net,” an 
Email & Web Application Service (ASP), which PSP has been 
servicing since 2001.  PS.MegaMail enables users to transfer 
files, not ordinarily transferable with Email, in a safe and easy 
way.   This is a part of PSP’s continuing effort to improve and 
expand its Email and Web solutions for customers.

Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and corporations limit the 
size of the Email attachments that can be sent.  Users have to 
find other ways such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) in order to 
exchange files with others.  FTP can be cumbersome to many Server 
managers since it requires them to manage users and passwords as 
well as disk space.  

PS.MegaMail is an easy and cost effective solution, allowing 
users to overcome these challenges.  Once the sender installs the 
PS.MegaMail client software on his/her computer, PS.MegaMail 
works like a typical email software.  When a sender sends files 
using PS.Megamail, the information is uploaded to the PS.MegaMail 
secure server.  The receiver will receive the email and be 
prompted to download the attached files.  It does not require any 
server administrator to manage users because PS.MegaMail will 
manage the uploaded files automatically as each sender 
specifies.  

Ken Uchikura, founder and CEO of PSP, says “PS. MegaMail is 
convenient because we can send large files the same way as we use 
Email, and overcomes the frustration caused by FTP.”

PS. MegaMail service starts at $20/month for 1GB-transfer, and 
features include:

Senders: Send any big files from their home or business 
computers unrestrictedly.
Recipients: Receive the file with just an Email account and a 
browser.
Security: File transfer is performed with an encryption 
functionality.
Automatic response: Senders receive “Download Start Notice” 
automatically, once recipients download the file.
Save time: PS. MegaMail remembers the file transfer record, so 
it automatically commands to transfer the rest of the file for 
the second trial after having cancelled the file transfer in the 
middle of the download.

PSP is expecting to provide PS. MegaMail to 1,000 companies in 
the first year. The target users are construction, 
engineering-related firms with CAD files, and design firms with 
graphic files. They will also prepare a packaged software version 
of PS.MegaMail for those who wish to install the software on 
their servers instead of using PS.MegaMail as a service, 
forecasting an estimated 2000 package sales in the first year.
