HISTORY 

The Internet was developed shortly after World War II as a dedicated means of transferring information sensitive to the U.S. government, in times of national crisis. A prerequisite of this service was that should an individual node be lost then the network would still function. This first fledgling "Inter network" consisted of a central site and many remote locations that could communicate with each other through the central site. As the need arose more nodes were added until in the mid 1950's the U.S. NET was re designated as a system for regaining control of the transfer of information in the aftermath of a Nuclear Strike. 
From it's shady beginnings, the Internet, as we know it today, took some 40 years to shape and it is only recently that it has been available to the masses Through the introduction of Internet Service Providers and user interfaces, called browsers, The Internet has become one of the best media for information and advertising ever. As for the future, well, the Internet is fast  becoming a virtual shopping centre on a global scale, as well as a place for communications. 

SYMICRON'S INTERNET ACCESS SERVER ^GII

The Internet Access Server is a standalone device for connecting to the internet via an ISDN line. It offers a seamless connection to the Internet, which means that unlike a modem connection, that constantly dials-up and disconnects, an Internet Access Server has a virtual permanent connection to the internet. This connection is always there so the dialling is transparent and even better you only pay call charges whilst data is being transferred. When data is not being transferred the connection reverts to its "dormant" state and awaits the next transfer of data, at which point it re-establishes communication with the Internet in under a second.

Included is an installation wizard to simplify the complex installation and configuration of the unit, when connecting to the Internet. 
Mail Relay has been added to the IAS^GII to allow  single IP accounts, with one generic mailbox, ‘anything’@company.com, to be linked to an internal mail system such as Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server. 

‘Heads & Seats’ operation, allowing, via ‘Heads’, an Internet Service Provider to limit the number of users per single IP account and via ‘Seats’, allowing a Network Manager to limit workstation internet access.
The  IAS^GII  is a universal business to Internet solution requiring no additional software solution.
