........................... SEARCHABLE EMAIL DATABASE .......

BenefitsLink is pleased to announce the addition of new
automated pages for entering your email address into the free
online "White Pages" of benefits plan sponsors (e.g., in-house
benefits administrators) and benefits plan service-providers
(e.g., consultants and actuaries).

The previous procedures required a delay of several days
(sometimes weeks!) before your name and email address showed up
in the online White Pages.  Now your name, company, city, state
and email address are added to the online database instantly!

Also, we've added a search engine that makes using the online
White Pages much easier  ... rather than scrolling through a
long list of alphabetized last names (the old way), you just
enter the addressee's last name into the search engine and up
pops a table showing the addressee's full name, company, city,
state and a link to the email address.

Not listed yet in the White Pages but you operate your
company's pension or welfare benefit plan or you provide
services to such plans?  Hop over to BenefitsLink at
http://www.benefitslink.com and click on the White Pages link
to sign up! It's free.

Being in the White Pages means that others can send you email
without having to remember your email address ... they just go
to the BenefitsLink White Pages and look you up.  Also very
handy when you change your email address ... just change it in
the online White Pages, so messages sent by people using the
online White Pages will get right to your current address.

..................... NEW WEB SERVER FOR BENEFITSLINK .....

BenefitsLink now runs on a new, faster Web server (as of
Friday, November 14, which hopefully will provide an even more
reliable connection for you.

The changeover should be transparent when using your Web
browser.  But if you get a message that says "XXX could not be
found on this server" when you try to access a page called XXX
that you've seen on BenefitsLink before, or if the Message
Boards don't work for you any more, try using your browser's
"reload" command.  If that doesn't work, try quitting your Web
browser entirely and then start it up again.  If that doesn't
work, please let me know (Dave Baker, erisa@benefitslink.com).
