ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES NEW LANTASTIC
FOR NETWARE
Adds LANtastic's Peer-to-Peer Features and Resource
Sharing to Novell's Netware
(TUCSON, Ariz. -- June 25, 1991) -- Artisoft announced today its new LANtastic¬ for
NetWare¿ network operating system which will provide Novell¿ NetWare users with
LANtastic's peer-to-peer features. It is scheduled for release in August and will sell for
$499 per network.
Artisoft's LANtastic for NetWare will run on top of Novell and require Novell's NetBIOS
to operate. It will allow programs, data, and peripherals such as printers, hard drives, tape
backups, and CD ROMs to be shared resources among nodes on a Novell network by
running under Novell's NetBIOS emulation.
"LANtastic for NetWare provides a low cost, easy-to-use solution to Novell users wanting
the features, peripheral sharing, and flexibility of a peer-to-peer network," said Jack
Schoof, Artisoft's President and CEO. "It's an especially great value when compared to
the simple hardware and software print server solutions on the market."
Novell users will be able to add printers (up to five per computer) to any computer on the
network and share them with others while simultaneously working at that computer and
maintaining connection to Novell's dedicated server. Individuals, corporate workgroups,
and even large departments will be able to overlay NetWare's centralized structure and
administration to permit localized control and access to each others progams, data, and
other shared resources.
LANtastic for NetWare's e-mail feature will even allow NetWare users to have voice mail
capability across the network by adding Artisoft's Sounding Board¬ adapters. The
Sounding Board adapter is a low-cost, IBM compatible expansion adapter with telephone-
style handset that converts between audio/voice signals and a digital data stream. It sells
for $99 for ISA bus and $199 for Micro Channel.
Artisoft's LANtastic and other connectivity products have won 16 major industry awards
over the past three years for their features, performance, ease of use, and low cost.
