The new release is compatible with existing FastCGI-compliant servers, including WebStar V and Apache 1.3.




All NetCloak customers, including those that purchased NetCloak as far back as NetCloak's initial release in 1994, are eligible for an upgrade to iAssist for only $100. The upgrade to iAssist offer, which expires on February 20, 2004, includes a full iAssist license for a single workstation to manage up to 2 servers, with support for all of iAssist's security and varied Internet service functions. Maxum says that NetCloak will no longer be listed as a separate product on Maxum's price list.
