{10BASE-T STARTER KIT

          {Offers Complete  10BASE-T Hardware/Software  Networking Solution
          {For Two PCs

          The LANtastic  10BASE-T Starter Kit, packages the LANtastic
          Network Operating  System software (for  up to 300 users)  with a
          Peer-Hub(TM)  10BASE-T  concentrator,   two  AE-1/T(TM)  Ethernet
          adapters, cabling and  documentation.
     
          "The  LANtastic  10BASE-T  Starter  Kit is designed to provide an
          integrated hardware/software solution and one-stop shoping for end
          users and resellers,"said Jack Schoof,Artisoft President and CEO. 

          The AE-1/T Ethernet adapter is an 8-bit,
          ISA  bus  network  adapter  for  use  with  IBM  PC/XT/AT 386/486
          computers and compatibles. It offers a 10Mbps data transfer rate,
          supports  8K of  onboard  RAM  and  is  software-compatible  with
          Novell's NE1000 adapter.       The   AE-1/T   Ethernet  adapter's
          telephone-style RJ45 jack connects to the  Peer-Hub concentrator,
          or  any  standard  10BASE-T  hub,  with  unshielded  twisted-pair
          cabling. The adapter  includes a link-integrity LED to  show if a
          proper connection to  the hub has been made.  The AE-1/T Ethernet
          adapter  also has a  special connector for  linking internally to
          the Peer-Hub concentrator.    The  Peer-Hub  concentrator   is  a
          complete 10BASE-T hub residing in a host PC. It has five external
          10BASE-T  ports using modular RJ45 telephone-style jacks that can
          connect to any standard 10BASE-T adapters. Its network management
          software allows the host PC to  view the status of all ports,  as
          well as activate or disable each port individually. Plus, onboard
          EEPROM  saves  the  complete  network  configuration  to  memory,
          guarding against power outage.     The Peer-Hub concentrator also
          has three special internal connectors which have been designed to
          connect  with  other  Artisoft(TM)  products.  One   provides  an
          internal 10BASE-T connection to  Artisoft's AE-1/T, AE-2/T(TM) or
          AE-3(TM)    Ethernet  adapters  without using  one  of  the  five
          external RJ45 ports. Another  internal connector is used  to link
          multiple Peer-Hub concentrators together; up to four per  PC. The
          third option,  with  the separate  purchase  of an  Artisoft  AUI
          Interface Kit, provides  an internal coax connection  between the
          Peer-Hub  concentrator  and  an  Artisoft  AE-3 Ethernet  adapter
          (which supports  thin  and thick  coax  in addition  to  10BASE-T
          connections). Used in this manner, the AUI Interface Kit  creates
          a  bridge between  the  10BASE-T network  on the  hub and  a coax          Ethernet segment attached to the AE-3 Ethernet adapter.     F o r
