If you keep losing those little slips of paper with phone messages scribbled on them, you might consider one of two new NeXT messaging applications.
FrontDesk, from St. Paul, Minnesota-based Integrity Solutions, is a workgroup productivity tool that runs over client-server networks and offers a host of user-definable features. The server can be one machine or several. Messages are routed to users through NeXTmail or, as long as the server is a NeXT, to other UNIX-based mail systems.
Some of FrontDesk's features include date and time stamps for messages, a secure mode for keeping messages private, message archiving, forwarding, and on-line help.
The product is priced at $429 for five users; large-site discounts are also available.
Integrity Solutions can be reached at 612/223-8484; e-mail: frontdesk@is.com.
BenaTong, of Columbus, Ohio, announced wywo, a $79.95 messaging application that automatically logs incoming messages into screen fields and then routes them to users' mailboxes. Like FrontDesk, wywo can also send e-mail over any UNIX system. The application is designed to work in conjunction with BenaTong's Dialer, a Services application that allows modem hot-key access and administration.
BenaTong can be contacted at 614/ 276-7859.
