A personal web directory is created each time a user is added. Users can also create entire web sites using desktop publishing tools and upload these to the NetWinder using FTP or one of the file sharing services supported. Users can obtain graphical web traffic reports of their virtual hosts. The InfoPlace Document Manager provides sophisticated document indexing and categorization and a powerful search engine one typically expects from enterprise class Intranet servers. In addition to supporting Internet email via SMTP, POP3, and IMAP, the NetWinder provides users with powerful mail forwarding and filtering features.
Users can create vacation responses with customized responses.
They can also choose to silently discard or selectively forward received mail based on the contents of any mail header or the message body. These features can be used to process spam and to determine if acceptable use policies are being violated. The NetWinder supports mail-based, public and private Discussion Forums. A discussion forum allows users and visitors who register to collaborate by creating or posting messages to discussion topics or threads. Telnet can be disabled entirely.
