{Network Operating System version 4.0}

Run LANtastic NOS on a multitude of third-party adapters. LANtastic/AI is
an adapter-independent version of the LANtastic Network Operating
System that enables you to run Artisoft's award-winning peer-to-peer
network on third-party adapters. 

Only LANtastic gives you a long list of powerful features at a price even
the smallest business can afford. So you can afford to link as few as two
PCs - and grow to 300 PCs - without sacrificing capabilities or speed.

And LANtastic is the most RAM-efficient network operation system you'll
find -- taking as little as 12K per workstation and 40K per server. So
you can run all your programs on the PCs you already have, without
springing for the high cost of memory upgrades.

Whether you choose the unlimited version for up to 300 nodes or the
single-user version for just a few nodes (with the option to expand to the
unlimited version at a later date), LANtastic/AI comes complete with
LANtastic NOS software documentation and drivers for adapters from
Western Digital, SMC, Thomas-Conrad, Tandy, Xircom, 3COM, Novell and
compatibles, and various other adapters with NetBIOS-compatible drivers,
as well as a generic ARCnet driver. For an up-to-date list of compatible
adapters, call your Artisoft Technical Sales representative.

Here's why LANtastic won PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award three
years in a row:

{"Reviewing  LANtastic's past history makes it no surprise that Version
{4.0 is better than ever. With its improved disk-caching abilities and the
{upcoming Windows version, LANtastic is faster and easier to use than
{its successful predecessors, a winner in its own right."} -- PC Magazine,
June 25, 1991.

{LANcache boosts network speed

{"LANcache, LANtastic's disk-caching program, is one of the fastest
{caches we tested. Version 4.0 of LANtastic has been improved to
{cache with expanded, extended, or conventional memory."} -- PC
Magazine, June 25, 1991.

LANtastic's disk caching lets you process data much faster than many
other networks because it caches both reads and writes, reducing the
number of physical accesses to the disk. Designed to be fully compatible
with Microsoft Windows, LANcache will release its own memory to
Windows to allow better performance when it detects that Windows is
running. LANcache will also allow you to cache some memory and leave
the rest to Windows.

{One disk, a few commands, and you're ready to go

LANtastic is not only easy to install, it also lets you set up your whole
network -- servers, workstations and user accounts -- when you install
the system software, so you can be up and running in minutes.

{Multiple levels of security

{"Security in a LANtastic network is tight as a drum if you choose."} -- PC
Magazine, June 25, 1991.

You can prevent unauthorized entry into a system with LANtastic's
"Username with Password" feature and limit any user's access to certain
hours, days of the week, etc. You can even individually assign users
any or all of the following privileges: read, write, modify, create, delete
and rename files; make, delete and lookup directories; execute programs
and change file attributes. 

{Electronic mail with Chat and pop-up notification

One easy menu lets you use LANtastic's Chat feature to send text
messages back and forth between two computers -- just like a
conversation. Another menu lets you send and save messages for
reading at a later time. And LANPUP alerts you immediately whenever
you receive a new message.

{Adds voice to your PC communications

Because LANtastic has sound capabilities built into the network, you
can send voice messages across your LANtastic network if you install
the optional Artisoft Sounding Board adapters. And it's as easy as
picking up the telephone-style handset provided with each Sounding
Board, bringing up a handy on-screen menu, and talking. You can use
the Voice Chat feature to carry on a realtime conversation, or your
voice message can be saved in digital format for playback later -- just
like regular e-mail.

LANtastic makes networking so easy that you'll soon be taking it for
granted. You'll be able to edit and proofread your co-workers' documents
without leaving your desk. Balancing your books will be easier because
your entire accounting department can share the same data base.
Inventory management will be completely streamlined because everyone
on the network can access inventory records and track products from
when they are received as raw material, to when they are shipped as
finished products. Don't let another productive minute pass you by. Call
602-293-6363 or fax 602-293-8065 and put the power of LANtastic to work
for you.
