{LANtastic(R) for TCP/IP {Internet protocols connect the LANtastic desktop {to powerful computing platforms The LANtastic network opens access to a vast array of major computing platforms using the common language of a TCP/IP (Transport Control Program/Internet Protocol) system. A TCP/IP corporate network might include DEC/VAX and DECstations, Hewlett-Packard, Sun or a variety of other workstation platforms, as well as NCR and AT&T minicomputers, IBM mainframes and PCs running SCO UNIX. LANtastic for TCP/IP software allows users on a LANtastic PC network to share the host computer's printers, disk space, data files, applications and more. Unique to LANtastic for TCP/IP software is its elegant server configuration. The program's 3.5 megabytes of program kernel and drivers are stored on a LANtastic for TCP/IP server. Workstations on the LANtastic network gain access to the host by running a batch file for access to the LANtastic for TCP/IP server's files, then running the program in the workstation's RAM. This improves performance and simplifies control of InterNet addresses and user names and passwords. It also allows floppy-based or diskless workstations equal access to the host. You can set up as many workstations as you wish for TCP/IP access, limited only by the licensing for one, five or ten simultaneous TCP/IP sessions. LANtastic for TCP/IP allows broader use of corporate resources: {o} Increases efficiency by allowing users to share documents, spreadsheets and data files with other TCP/IP clients where like applications (such as Lotus 1-2-3(R) on DOS and UNIX) exist across the network. {o} Reduces costs for space, time and capital equipment by enabling terminal emulation for access to non-PC applications and for interaction with secondary programs previously accessible only through common-use, centrally-located terminals or additional desktop terminals. {o} Lets you take advantage of corporate resources for mass storage, backup and archives elsewhere on the TCP/IP network. {o} Allows TCP/IP clients access to LANtastic local area network printers. LANtastic for TCP/IP software supports Domain Name Service, a centralized host name database application that facilitates user lookups. It also supports TELNET, which provides the basis for terminal emulation, including local/remote echo and suppress go-ahead. FTP, another supported application, allows users to manipulate and transfer files between the local system and a remote host. The related FTP server application provides access to PC file systems including LAN file servers. The FTP server can run in the background; it supports concurrent TELNET, FTP and LPR applications. Other applications supported include UNIX R-commands, the PING Internet Control message protocol and the industry-standard Network File System (NFS). The LANtastic for TCP/IP program supports DEC VT terminal emulations, including mouse support in windowing environments; IBM(R) Display Station with screen sizes, color, extended attributes and status line features; keyboard remapping between PC and DEC VT or 3270-style keyboards; up to 25 individual sessions running concurrently (depending on available system memory); and third-party terminal emulation. The program operates from DOS and Windows. {Features {o} Applications access across the network Graphical User Interface Telnet FTP FTPD TFTP RCP, RLOGIN, RSH NFS {o} Memory requirements Basic TCP/IP kernel and drivers (except NFS and LPRS): 37K NFS client services: 27K additional LPRS printer server (host prints to PC): 30K additional {o} Terminal emulations for applications VT100, VT220, VT240, VT320, VT330, VT340, ReGIS Graphics Support, 3278 (mods 2,3,4,5) Keyboard remapping Multiple session support {o} User interfaces Windows 3.0 and higher DOS 3.3 or higher {o} Printing resources LPR and LPR server {o} Application program interface support Berkeley Sockets (TSR & DLL) NetBIOS Interrupt 14 {o} Transport support TCP, IP, ARP, SNAP, ICMP, BOOTTP, UDP, SNMP RTT estimation Congestion avoidance Host requirements Domain Name Services {o} PC Requirements IBM PC or compatible One floppy disk drive MS-DOS(R) 3.3 or higher LANtastic Network Operating System {Optional Artisoft Products (sold separately): {o} LANtastic(R) for Macintosh(R) connects Macintosh computers to a LANtastic PC network through a gateway server. {o} LANtastic(R) for Windows interface provides point-and-shoot controls for network commands and DDE across the network. {o} LANtastic(R) for NetWare(R) provides peer-to-peer flexibility to a Novell(R) network. {o} Sounding Board kit with ArtiSound recorder for Windows records and plays back digital sound, enabling users to add dramatic voice comments to OLE-supporting applications. {o} ArtiCom software enables sharing modems and serial devices across a LANtastic or other NetBIOS network. {o} ArtiScribe Document and Dictation system combines sound recording, screen graphics and application files in DOS for dramatic documents {o} Central Station connectivity processor provides an open network node for portable PCs, printer serving and remote dial-in. {Why Buy from Artisoft? {o} Free, unlimited technical support to registered end users and dealers {o} An unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee on all Artisoft products {o} Five-year limited warranty on all Artisoft hardware ARTISOFT INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS 691 East River Road Tucson, AZ 85704 USA Sales/Customer Service 1-800-TINY RAM Technical Support 1-602-293-6363 Headquarters 1-602-293-4000 Fax 1-602-293-8065 Artisoft offices in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. 1992 ARTISOFT, INC.
