PSI's New Customer Connection Service (CCS) Introduces New Customer Flexibility for Integrating their Computer Networks into the Nationally Available PSINet and Global Internet Reston, VA - March 1, 1991 - John T. Eldredge, Director of Sales and Marketing, Performance Systems International, Inc. (PSI), today announced the application of breakthrough internetworking technologies for a new PSI service allowing customer control of their external network router. PSI can now provide this capability without effecting the quality of the communications service, quality which has moved PSI into a national leadership position for its innovative, reliable internetworking services. This new service, called Customer Connection Service (CCS), matches the benefits of dedicated integration of the customer's local area networks (LAN) into PSINet and the global Internet with the network security and configuration flexibility requested by many organizations through use of their own router at their site. CCS is designed to perform at speeds of 56Kbps and T1 (1.5Mbps) and is available in all PSI Points-of-Presence (POPs) throughout the U.S. Electronic mail among 20 million users, file transfer of global information and software archives, remote terminal access to thousands of computers around the world, bulletin boards and library access capabilities are all available to CCS customers. Individual Dialup Services, at no additional cost, are available to individuals to connect to CCS-attached computers while traveling or working at other facilities using nationwide dialup points. As an introductory offer to all new organizations participating in this new service, PSI will extend a 20% discount off the regular annual price of both 56Kbps and T1 Customer Connection Service. This introductory program extends from March 1 through June 1, 1991. PSI is a value-added internetworking and information services provider headquartered in Reston, Virginia. CCS is the latest offering in a wide spectrum of communications services for the individual and corporate user of electronic information. CONTACT: John T.
