Oz Insight has recently released Ozway - a binary enhanced News-to-Web gateway. Ozway enables every ISP to provide their users with quality service currently available only from a few companies specializing in the Usenet area. Please visit Ozway home page at http://www.ozinsight.com/ozway/index.php Look at the screenshots, read about the features. Ozway is designed to provide a WYSIWYG access to Usenet binary groups carrying images (though it can be used with other newsgroups as well) by offering image thumbnails to users for preview. Users can see what they are about to download and thus avoid downloading unwanted material and improve dramatically the value received for time and money, and their satisfaction with the service. Ozway is easy to use (point and click) and easy to run (start and forget). It is a fast and scalable application capable of serving hundreds of simultaneous connections from users. As it is mentioned before, Ozway is good for end users because it saves time and money. Why is it good for ISPs? Because it saves even more money for them. It is very simple: most of the Internet traffic is spent on downloading of large binary objects, such as pictures, movies, music and software. If people take this stuff from a local news server, they are not using external Web link and thus saving external traffic and making the Web faster for everybody else. There are lots of binary goodies posted in newsgroups. And it is amazing how few people know about the Usenet and use it. We hope that Ozway can help to introduce more people to the Usenet, make the Usenet fun and popular. This may help to achieve huge savings in external traffic. It takes only 10 minutes to install and configure Ozway. It runs as a separate HTTP daemon and is just another client to a news server. So, it will not disrupt work of the news server or do nasty things to the Web server. Ozway has a built-in cache, so, it can be used to take part of the load off the news server. Also, if the ISP doesn't have a news server and are outsourcing news service, they can use Ozway as an on-site cache. We are interested in Ozway reaching end users ASAP. This is why we are offering free licenses to ISPs who start using Ozway soon. The early starters program is open till the end of June. Please read more here: http://www.ozinsight.com/ozway/start.html There are versions available for Linux 7.1 or later, FreeBSD 4.3 or later and Win2K/NT.
