BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 1999--

-- Breakthrough Web-based information management application offers real-estate professionals an affordable, powerful and easy-to-use tool

for quickly and easily organizing and communicating Web-based

real-estate information with clients --

PeakSoft Corporation (ASE:PKT) (OTC BB:PEAFF-pending) today announced the availability of a pre-release version of an Internet information management application for real-estate professionals, code-named RealtyTracer.

The application can be downloaded for evaluation purposes at http://realtytracer.peak.com.

RealtyTracer is the next installment in the PeakTrack series of vertical market Internet information management applications for small- to medium-sized businesses. The PeakTrack series is based on the NetMagnet core technology (an overview is located at http://www.peak.com/nmtech.html). Current PeakTrack applications include Small Business, Law and Realty.

Using RealtyTracer, real-estate professionals can quickly and easily find, intelligently organize and clearly present information extracted from all Web-accessible sources to provide the level of value-added service today's increasingly sophisticated home buyers and sellers demand.

"Standard Internet browsing tools lack powerful organization and presentation features that are essential for today's realtors that strive to be competitive in an increasingly `wired' market," said Chris Kent, RealtyTracer product manager. "RealtyTracer enables real-estate professionals to quickly and efficiently utilize Web-based resources, including multiple-listing data, internal agency information and specially, pre-loaded real estate-specific Web sites."

RealtyTracer enables realtors to save valuable research, preparation and presentation time and effort by efficiently organizing, adding value to and sharing Web-based listing information with clients. RealtyTracer works with either the Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browsers to provide real-estate professionals the capability to electronically gather, view, annotate, present and publish hard copies of Web-based real-estate information. RealtyTracer's self-contained research presentations can be provided to clients via e-mail or on diskette for viewing on a PC using a Web browser, even without the RealtyTracer application installed.

Business Editors/Hig), a leading provider of digital access solutionally concentrates, fractional T1 data traffic from customer locations.

"CAC's Access Navigator/GR-303 is the right size and price to help us compete with the RBOCs & CLECs for customer access lines," said Bill Stipe, vice president of network engineering. "By enabling us to provide CLASS-featured voice and high-speed data services, this product will help us succeed in the ever increasing demand for multi-line voice and data services market."

"We've developed the Access Navigator/GR-303 over the last 12 months to provide a new distributed voice and data service model that our competitive carrier customers have been asking for," said Roger Koenig, CEO of Carrier Access. "The Access Navigator solves the equipment provisioning and digital access cost problems faced by competitive carriers."

By using CAC's Access Bank II SNMP at the customer premises together with the Access Navigator/GR-303 at carrier sites, a complete end-to-end distributed voice and data digital loop carrier and remote management system is provided to competitive carriers. CAC's Access Navigator/GR-303 has recently passed protocol certification testing at Nortel with the DMS 100 switches.

With both NEBS and customer premises certifications, the Access Navigator/GR-303 can be located in carrier racks or on customer walls. The power of a 32 T1 port voice and data switch/concentrator is contained in only 1-1/2 rack units. Its quad-modular design scales from 4 to 32 T1/CSUs providing connections to customer access lines, Class 5 digital switches, and/or data switch/routers.

The Access Navigator/GR-303 provides service management access via Ethernet SNMP, Telnet CLI, and RS-232 CLI. Flow-through provisioning and testing over T1 connections from the Access Navigator/GR-303 to CAC's Access Bank II/SNMP units reduce truck rolls and improve voice and data service availability at customer locations. Using the redundancy capabilities of GR-303 voice trunks, the Access Navigator offers T1 line failure protection at "virtual on-net" customer buildings.

The Access Navigator/GR-303 will be unveiled at Comnet'99 in Washington, D.C., booth No. 1747.
