{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.
