{ARTICOM
For moving data around an office, a Local Area Network
performs near-miracles. But to burst beyond the walls and
call out to branch offices, field representatives,
mainframes, commercial information services and bulletin
board systems, you need to hitch your network to a modem and
dial out to the rest of the computer world.
ArtiCom is a memory-resident program using less than 6K of
RAM and no additional hardware to dial out from your LANs.
Any station on the network has access to any modem across
the network.
The ArtiCom software has the user-friendly interface of the
LANtastic Network Operating System, although it works on
most NetBIOS-compatible systems. The ArtiCom system
features built-in terminal emulation, a dialing directory,
multiple upload and download protocols as well as extensive
security features.
On the ArtiCom asynchronous communications server, modem
communication on the LAN is as routine as network printing.
But ArtiCom is also designed for use with plotters, serial
printers, or any other bi-directional peripheral devices on
a serial port. Any PC on the system can be an ArtiCom
workstation, server or both. And with support of the INT14
protocol, ArtiCom can be used with other communication
products.
