{The Trophy Case}

{LAN Magazine Product of the Year for Entry-Level Network Operating
{Systems}

At the first of the year, LAN Magazine selected LANtastic as its Product of 
the Year in Entry-Level Network Operating Systems. While praising the
creativity of Artisoft's "tiny RAM" advertising, most of the inkwas devoted
to plaudits for the product. "No one in the entry-level network arena has
a better product than LANtastic, Artisoft's speedy, low-cost, peer-to-peer
network operating system," the editors said. "Users love LANtastic for a
variety of reasons, in particular for its 'tiny' RAM requirements: 13KB at the
PC and 40KB on the server--the lowest of any LAN NOS on the market.
"Users also appreciate LANtastic's price-performance ratio.  For $725, they
get a fully functional two-node 10 Mbps Ethernet network.  Those willing
to accept 2 Mbps performance can run LANtastic on two PCs for $525."
Since the LAN Magazine citation, LANtastic prices are even lower.  Now
a  two-node 10  Mbps Ethernet network is available for just $699; the 2
Mbps system is now available for $499.

1991 Readers' Choice Award from LAN Times: LANtastic Network
Operating System

As proud as Artisoft is of all the praise editors lavish on our products,
there remains a special pride when the pat on the back comes from the
real experts--the people who buy and use network products. In its March
8 issue, LAN Times named Artisoft's LANtastic Network Operating System 
the Readers' Choice in peer-to-peer operating systems. In its citation, LAN
Times said "LANtastic from Artisoft has won kudos as an affordable, easily
expandable operating system.  LANtastic can support up to 300
workstations and servers, does not require a dedicated server." The report
praised the software for including "print service and spooling; E-mail; and
some security features, such as password protection for network manager
programs, user name and password protection for users, an access 
control list for shared resources, and user auditing."
