INTERNET/INTRANET Turnkey Internet Server: InterGate Internet Server T here's no "one size fits all" when it comes to setting up shop on the Internet, but for a fast and flexible solution, you can't beat the comfy fit and feel you get from Internet Products' InterGate. Using the venerable BSD/OS from Berkeley Software Design at its core, InterGate adds all the Internet services you can use--Web, FTP, e-mail, Domain Name System (DNS), news, firewalling, routing, dial-in and more. Management is universally accessible using InterGate's well-written Web-based interface. Internet Products built InterGate on a hardware platform that allows plug-and-play WAN connectivity, LAN installation and integrated backups. A ll told, InterGate captured its Well-Connected award because its sum added up to a value far greater than its parts. When thinking about life on the Internet, it's important to plan for growth and change, and this is where InterGate takes the cake. Its flexible hardware options let you easily tailor or upgrade InterGate to your specific bandwidth requirements. And the built-in management software lets you painlessly update InterGate's system software over the Internet. Taking turnkey to its extreme earned Whistle Communications Corp.'s InterJet an honorable mention. It has limited potential for supporting large sites, but it is ideal for remote sites. Intergraph Computer Systems' InterServe Web 305, another honorable mention, offers ease of use neatly packaged in a very well-made system.
