Archiving Services are provided on request. Please contact Sales@NetBox.com for further information.

The MailBox service is an extension of your NetBox identity. Your message will be automatically sent out when a request is received at your MailBot address. The address will look like:

MailBot messages and set up instructions are sent to POMaster@NetBox.com.

As with MailBots, the World Wide Web helps you get your message out to the Internet. NetBox will host your WWW pages so they can be found through your NetBox ID. The URL will contain your NetBox name and, for businesses, your business name [businesses can have pages for each account holder accessed using the NetBox domain]:

POP Mail Server adds to the convenience of your NetBox. With the POP Mail option, you can use an off-line mail reader such as Eudora to directly access you mail at NetBox. With this option you do not need to forward mail through your Internet access providers mail system.

With the POP Mail option, you still have the ability to use the other NetBox services, such as forwarding and holding mail. The POP Mail capability can be turned on and off through the regular NetBox configuration methods [telnet/www/e-mail].

$10 setup fee.

$1/month/account ($24 total), two year pre-paid option.

$1.50/month/account ($18 total), one year pre-paid option.

A NetBox FTP site allows you to place large files - both binary and text - in a site where others can access them. Now you can distribute large catalogs or other large files in a controlled and convenient method. The service includes transfers of 30MB worth of files and 15 hours of login time per billing month.

Price:

$35 setup fee.

$1.50/month - one year [$18] prepaid.

$1.50/30MB/month transfered after the first 30MB.

$2.00/hour for time over 15 hours/month.

[NOTE:Use over the monthly allowances will be billed quarterly if accumulative charge is less than $50. $50 deposit required if payment is to be made by check (the prorated unused portion will be refunded if the ftp site is closed.)]

Domain Name Registration and Hosting
[Available for NetBox for Business/Private Domain customers only]

NetBox offers the option for customers to establish their own identities in the form of domains. The e-mail address then becomes "login@my_domain.com". For an additional fee, NetBox will handle the new registration or modify the registration of an existing domain with the InterNIC (US domains only).

Price:

$35 Set up fee [one time]

$60/year hosting fee [billed once per year]

$50 Registration Fee for InterNIC filings [waived if done by customer]

[NOTE: Costs for secondary domain hosts, if any, not included in the annual hosting fee. InterNIC fees (currently $50/year with the first two years payment ($100) due upon registration) will be billed separately if NetBox does the filings.]

IP Addressing is also available as an option for business accounts. The main advantage from a company's viewpoint is to be able to have a simple URL - http://www.mycompany.com/ instead of an additional directory after this [such as http://www.mycompany.com/myco/].

Price:

$25/month surcharge.
Includes assigned IP address

NetBox has combined the convenience of email with a cost effective fax service which can deliver messages worldwide. NetBox owners can now use their email to send fax messages allowing you to communicate with others who are not connected to the Internet.

There are some limitations to the technology, however. Current technology is reliable for faxes sent to fax machines. A fax sent to a fax/modem card on a computer is much less reliabe and can cause a transmission rate of about 70% [meaning that 30% of the tries may not go through with this type of connection].

Price:

$25 Minimum Initial Deposit
Faxes will be charged against this depost as they are incurred. You will receive a warning when your balance falls below US$10, at which time you will need to refresh your deposit.

Cost per fax is determined by the transmission time. There is a minimum charge of 30 seconds with time billed at 6 second increments after the first 30 seconds.

Typical rates for few selected destinations (per minute transmission) (all countries are supported, this is only a representative sample):

US$ as of 5/96
Prices Subject to Change without notice.
