ARTISOFT PRELOADING NEWEST RELEASE OF STATIONWARE(TM) APPLICATIONS ON
CENTRAL STATION(TM) CONNECTIVITY PROCESSOR
StationWare 2.0 Printer Serving, Remote Dial-Up And Laptop
Connectivity Applications Now PreLoaded At No Extra Charge
(TUCSON, AZ -- December 22, 1992) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced today
that it is now preloading version 2.0 of its StationWare applications
on the Central Station connectivity processor. These applications,
available for both LANtastic(R) and NetWare(R) Ethernet networks, are
included in the $595 price of the Central Station connectivity
processor.
The Central Station connectivity processor is a modem- sized
multiport hardware device that connects a variety of peripherals to
a LANtastic or NetWare ethernet network and runs StationWare software
to provide laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and printer serving
capabilities to network users. Version 2.0 of the StationWare
software is noted for its increased printer serving performance and
the inclusion of the newly released remote dial-up capabilities for
NetWare users.
"Artisoft is committed to bringing the greatest value to its
customers and resellers," stated Dave Hallmen, Artisoft Vice
President of Sales & Marketing. "That's why we are including our
StationWare applications with the purchase of a Central Station
connectivity processor. Now, for under $600, users can easily connect
laptops to a network, both remotely and locally, or set up convenient
network printing locations without using a PC."
The Central Station connectivity processor connects to LANtastic or
NetWare Ethernet networks running either thin coax or 10BASE-T
cabling. Users can quickly connect or disconnect a variety of
peripherals to its PC interface port, one parallel port or two serial
ports without disrupting the network. The Central Station
connectivity processor comes preloaded with three StationWare
applications and 128K of onboard upgradeable RAM.
Printer Server StationWare software allows users to set up printers
in convenient locations, connecting them to a Central Station port
instead of a PC's expansion slot or printer port. This software
supports up to three printers -- one parallel and two serial. Each
serial port communicates at speeds of up to 38.4 kilobits per second
and can be configured individually for baud rate, type of parity and
number of stop bits.
Dial-Up Connection StationWare software adds remote access
capabilities to the network through a modem attached to the Central
Station connectivity processor. Remote users can dial in to the
network and use all network resources like files, e-mail and other
applications as if their PCs were attached locally.
For customers who bought Central Station connectivity processors
previously, when StationWare applications were sold separately,
Artisoft is offering the option of buying StationWare 2.0 bundles for
LANtastic or NetWare networks for $99. Customers who purchased
StationWare applications separately may upgrade to version 2.0 for
$50 for the complete LANtastic or NetWare bundle. Finally, customers
who purchased StationWare software after November 4, 1992 can get
their software upgraded for free.
Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of innovative, cost-
effective network communication solutions including the LANtastic
Local Area Network. Recognized as the leader in peer-to-peer
networking for DOS and Windows(TM) environments, the LANtastic
network now offers multiplatform connectivity solutions for NetWare,
Macintosh(R) and TCP/IP systems. It allows up to 300 users of IBM(R)-
compatible computers to connect and share information and peripheral
devices such as printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs and has won
numerous industry awards for its cost-effective features, performance
and ease of use. Artisoft distributes its hardware and software
products in over 70 countries worldwide and maintains international
