What is FirstClass?
FirstClass Business Edition/Education Edition (FirstClass) is an easy to use, advanced communication and information system that integrates Internet mail and services with group conferencing, access to existing corporate databases, forms processing, real-time discussions, and online communications functions. Because FirstClass takes care of modem and file transfer protocols automatically, remote access is as easy as network access.
