Artisoft Promotion Bundles Central StationTM
Connectivity Processor With Two Additional
StationwareTM Applications For $198 Savings
Remote Dial-Up And Printer Server Features For
LANtastic(R) And NetWare(R) Networks Included In
Addition To Laptop Connectivity
(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.
