Newgroup

I'm surprised there's nothing mentioning Forte Agent's ability to create newgroup messages. Maybe that's the norm for newsreaders, I haven't used Forte Agent for years, but as I recall (in 2002 anyway) that was one of its' major benefits, as opposed to standard email clients like Outlook and Netscape.

Merge

The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forté Internet Software is heading for a "Merge" decision, so while that article still exists, I think it's prudent to copy it content here for later merging.

===Forté Internet Software==

Originally Forte Advanced Management Systems, Forté Internet Software makes Agent, a Windows-based Usenet news and email client. In the 1980s and 1990s, Forté also produced enterprise-level products including network optimization and station administration tools that were licensed by Nortel Networks. In 1996, Forté created Adante, software for managing high volumes of inbound corporate email.

In late 1997, Forté was acquired by Genesys Telecommunications (which was then purchased by Alcatel) to integrate Adante into the Genesys and Alcatel product lines. In 2000, Alcatel sold Forte's Consumer Software Group to Charles Dazler Knuff. Now known as Forté Internet Software, this group continues to develop Agent and to research the areas of social software, email and wireless communications using trust networks.

In 2003, Forté created Forté Internet Services, which offers Agent Premium Newsgroups (APN), a high-speed, high-retention Usenet news service.
