Former Cyber Patrol executives to lead fast growth Internet connectivity company.


Sudbury MA, October 23, 2000 - 1stWorks Corporation confirmed its formation today and announced that it had assembled a stellar team of software developers to address significant market opportunities. 1stWorks has already defined its first product, hotComm, based on 1stWorks proven and patentable technology for true, i.e. serverless, peer to peer connectivity, delivering truly fast and efficient interactive communication. 1stWorks' development team will focus their efforts on effortless implementation and ease of use.

hotComm provides a bi-directional Communication Dialog-Box enabling fast, efficient, private interactive access or exchange of text, speech or file transfer between participating hotComm users on the web. Participating users may be world-wide, and are not required to be aligned with AOL or any other particular ISP. The individualized HotCom client program, which is installed on each participating subscriber's computer, periodically updates the current user's address. This information enables hotComm to maintain the Active User Table so that individual users can establish direct, interactive and protected peer to peer connections between themselves after authentication. For maximum efficiency, text messages are transferred word by word, rather than by line or complete messages. hotComm works with any access provider and uses standard http traffic protocols to minimize firewall restrictions. Additional hotComm features provide for Missed Call list maintenance and reconnection and security and privacy provisions, such as do not disturb flags, black-list contact rejection or automatic white-list contact acceptance.
