-
- (TUCSON, AZ. -- June 17, 1992) -- Artisoft announced today that
- for a limited time it will bundle its Printer Server and Dial-Up
- Connection StationWare software applications, valued at $99 each,
- at no charge with the Central Station connectivity processor. The
- Central Station connectivity processor, priced at $595, is a
- modem-sized multiport hardware device that uses StationWare
- software to provide laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and print
- serving capabilities to LANtastic or NetWare Ethernet
- networks.
-
- The Central Station/StationWare bundle is available immediately
- for both LANtastic and NetWare networks. The LANtastic Central
- Station/StationWare bundle comes with all three StationWare
- applications -- laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and print
- serving. The NetWare Central Station/StationWare bundle comes
- with StationWare for laptop connectivity and print serving, as
- well as a coupon for free remote dial-up software which will be
- released later this summer.
-
- {"Artisoft is committed to bringing the greatest value to its
- {customers and dealers,"} stated Dave Hallmen, Artisoft Vice
- President of Sales & Marketing. "Now users can take full
- advantage of the current features of the Central Station
- connectivity processor -- notebook connectivity, printer serving
- and remote-dial up -- all in one convenient package."
-
- The Central Station connectivity processor allows users to
- quickly connect/disconnect a variety of peripherals such as
- laptops, notebooks, printers and modems to a LANtastic or NetWare
- network without disrupting the network. It connects to Ethernet
- networks running either thin coax or 10BASE-T cabling and
- features a PC interface port, one parallel port, two serial ports
- and an optional SCSI port as well as 128K onboard upgradeable
- RAM.
-
- The Printer Server StationWare software adds print serving
- capabilities to the Central Station connectivity processor so
- that users can set up printers in convenient locations without
- using a single expansion slot or a PC printer port. This software
- can support up to three printers -- one parallel and two serial.
- Each serial port can be configured for a different baud rate,
- type of parity and number of stop bits. The serial ports can
- communicate at speeds up to 38.4 kilobits per second.
-
- The LANtastic Dial-Up Connection StationWare software adds remote
- access capabilities to a LANtastic network through a modem
- attached to the Central Station connectivity processor. Remote
- users can dial in to the LANtastic network and log in to servers,
- use e-mail, print to network printers and share and transfer
- files just as if they were attached locally. All the features of
- the LANtastic Network Operating System will be available to the
- remote computer, and it can communicate with any other PC in the
- network.
-
- This Central Station/StationWare bundle offer is limited-time
- offer and is subject to discontinuation without notice. Users who
- purchased the Dial-Up Connection and Printer Server StationWare
- applications after May 1, 1992 should contact Artisoft Customer
- Service at 602-293-6363 for reimbursement information.
