Velocitus Spam Filter:
Unsolicited commercial e-mail, or spam, will make up more than
half of all e-mail sent this year, and that number could grow to 60 percent
by the end of 2004, according to Gartner Inc., a Stamford, Conn.-based
technology research firm. Read
More. Now Velocitus can help keep your in-box free of unwanted
e-mail. Our system searches databases of known spam sources and updates
our list of abusers on a continuous basis. Mail that is received from
one of these known spam sources is automatically moved to your mail account's
Trash where it can still be retrieved or simply deleted the next time
our system empties your Trash. Naturally the Spam filter will not eliminate
all unsolicited e-mail but it will dramatically reduce the amount of
junk e-mail that you receive.
E-mail messages that are identified as spam are moved to your Trash folder
in webmail. This folder is not visible to normal e-mail clients (i.e.,
Outlook Express, Netscape). You can see the Trash folder by using webmail.
The Trash folder does not count against your disk usage, and items older than
7 days are automatically removed periodically. Velocitus E-mail Filtering can
scan all incoming mail for spam, junk e-mail, and over 70,000 computer viruses,
worms and trojan horses for just $1.95/month.

Unlike other filtering options, Velocitus e-mail Filtering
is performed on our e-mail servers so there is no need to download or
configure tricky plug-ins or utilities or worry about updates. It is
all done automatically by Velocitus before the messages even reach your
computer. If you would like to add filtering to your account, call
one of our customer service representatives today at 1-800-219-9996 or
send an e-mail to customerservice@velocitus.net. |

Velocitus
Can Help Defend You from Nasty Viruses:
According to a report from mi2g,
virus and hacker attacks caused about $32.8 billion in economic damages
in last August. Ouch. While the Worm/Sobig.F virus was most prevalent, more
than a dozen others also wreaked havoc on unsuspecting computer users.
So how do you protect yourself (and your computer files)?
1) Virus filters: while these can't stop every virus, these
filters can definitely help. For example Velocitus
E-mail Filtering scans all incoming mail for over 70,000 computer viruses,
worms and trojan horses.

2)
Know your attachments: Because viruses are often spread as
attachments to email, it is important to know what an attachment is
before you open it. Don't trust it simply because the attachment comes
from someone you know ... viruses are often sent from a familiar address.
3) Back-up all of your important files: face it, even if
you take every precaution chances are that eventually you're computer is
going to get some type of virus. Prepare yourself by keeping a copy of important
files stored somewhere other than your computer. Still have questions? Contact Velocitus
technical support and have them walk you through the process of keeping
your computer safe from nasty viruses. |

Broadband Over Powerline
Trial in Boise:
Amperion Inc. and IDACOMM today announced the successful
deployment of the Amperion Connect™ solution in Boise as part of IDACOMM’S
growing broadband-over-power-line (BPL) pilot project. IDACOMM, a subsidiary
of IDACORP (NYSE: IDA), has targeted up to 100 residences and businesses
with high-speed wireless Internet access, by establishing overhead network
segments in several Boise locations that pass, or will establish access
to, approximately 1,000 homes. The BPL pilot is being conducted in the
service area of fellow IDACORP subsidiary and regulated electric utility
Idaho Power Co. IDACOMM is testing a variety of applications that integrate
utility and broadband technologies. Read

BPL, is an exciting
new opportunity for electric utilities to leverage their existing infrastructure
for new service offerings. The technology has been explored in fits and
starts in the past, but has improved to the point that it now offers
distinct use, convenience, and cost advantages over competing DSL, cable
and wireless broadband approaches. By simply plugging a BPL device into an existing electrical
outlet, BPL can provide consumers with access to broadband and, potentially,
voice services from any room in the house without adding or paying for
additional connections. BPL also offers utilities new cost-saving methods
for remotely monitoring power uses and outages. Due to differences in
network design, the roll-out of BPL is more advanced in Europe, but current
trials in the U.S. have so far been successful. Read
