New York, NY (March 2000) - ResQNet.com, Inc. today announced ResQPortal, an advanced server-based HTML Web-to-host connectivity solution for e-business. Written in Java for the broadest possible cross-platform server compatibility, the super-thin client ResQPortal works with all browsers. With ResQPortal, companies can, for the first time, provide graphical access to critical host-based information to anyone with Internet or intranet access - with no changes to the underlying host code.

Based on the same patented proprietary technologies used in ResQNet.com's best-in-class ResQNet product, ResQPortal runs on the Web server and is compatible with all browsers, requiring no local installation, configuration, or plug-ins. Requiring no applet download, ResQPortal enables companies to give occasional and mobile users quick and easy customized access to vital host-based information.

"ResQPortal is the industry's first Java-based on-the-fly Web-to-host HTML solution," stated Todres Yampel, President and COO of ResQNet.com, Inc. "With ResQPortal, companies now have a rapid deployment solution for providing customized and secure access to critical host-based content to anyone with Internet access, without the need for any custom scripting or programming."

ResQPortal is the ideal complement to ResQNet, the company's Java applet-based Web-to-host solution. With the two products, organizations can utilize non-programming tools to customize their Web-to-host interface just once, then use the same rejuvenated screens to address the needs of their entire range of Internet, intranet, and extranet users.

Because both ResQPortal and ResQNet use ResQNet.com's drag-and-drop Customization Studio, companies can easily create just one set of custom screens for deployment with both products. Requiring no programming or scripting, Customization Studio adds all the conveniences of the Windows environment including mouse capability, customizable fonts and colors, drag-and-drop fields, macro buttons, checkboxes, etc.

"ResQNet's groundbreaking Java-based ResQPortal does on-the-fly 3270/5250-to HTML conversion with ResQNet's renowned screen rejuvenation," commented Anura Gurugé, a leading independent technical consultant specializing in all aspects of contemporary networking. "This makes it the first Java-based 'on-the-fly' HTML conversion solution. The implications of this are significant."

Added Gurugé, "This product has the potential to change the dynamics of the Web-to-host market."

ResQPortal's on-the-fly screen rejuvenation presents legacy host screens graphically, with defined input fields, clickable hot spots, and menu buttons. Network and firewall friendly, ResQPortal needs only one HTTP port. ResQPortal is capable of integration with other applications and allows central server control. Because ResQPortal is 100% Java based, users can run ResQPortal on various hardware platforms that support Java-based servlets. ResQPortal can be easily integrated with most popular application servers including IBM^® Websphere™, Bluestone^® Corporation's Sapphire/Web^®, Netscape Application Server™, and NetDynamics™ from Sun Microsystems^®.

Key Drag and Drop Customization features include:

• Move and hide fields
• Add drop down lists and radio buttons
• Create macro buttons
• Combine information from multiple screens
• Perform arithmetic operations and table look-ups
• Automate navigation and suppress screens
• Create a standard look for host screen presentation
