ARTISOFT INTRODUCES LANTASTIC(R) FOR WINDOWS(TM)
STARTER KITS
Bundles LANtastic Starter Kits With LANtastic For
Windows 4.1 Network Utility For $199 Savings
(TUCSON, AZ -- April 29, 1992) -- Artisoft, Inc.
announced today that it will begin offering LANtastic
for Windows Starter Kits -- LANtastic Starter Kits
bundled with the LANtastic for Windows network utility
-- for an additional $100 over the cost of Artisoft's
regular LANtastic Starter Kits. Available immediately,
these kits offer $199 savings on the LANtastic for
Windows network utility which is available separately
for $299.
The LANtastic for Windows Starter Kit includes two
Artisoft(TM) adapters, cabling and the newest versions
of the award-winning LANtastic Network Operating
System and LANtastic for Windows network utility. It
is available with the LANtastic AE-3(TM), AE-2(TM) and
A2Mbps(TM) Starter Kits.
"Artisoft's leadership in Windows networking is making
Windows' easy-to-use graphical interface more
accessible than ever to PC users," commented Dave
Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of Sales and
Marketing.
The LANtastic network is recognized as the leading
DOS-based peer-to-peer network and has won numerous
industry awards for its cost-effective features,
performance, and ease of use. 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.
LANtastic Starter Kits offer a complete hardware and
software networking solution for two PCs -- two
Artisoft adapters, LANtastic NOS, cabling and
documentation -- from which users can add nodes by
installing additional adapters and cabling. Designed
to offer a one-stop solution, LANtastic Starter Kits
allow users to build their networks around their
choice of Artisoft Ethernet-standard adapters or the
proprietary LANtastic A2Mbps adapters.
The LANtastic for Windows network utility has the same
new features as the DOS-based LANtastic 4.1, but
within the easy, graphical user interface (GUI) of
Microsoft Windows' pull-down menus, icons and on-line
help. It supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) so that
Windows applications can use LANtastic e-mail to
exchange messages and transfer data. It runs with
LANtastic v4.0 and higher and Microsoft Windows v3.0
and higher.
The LANtastic for Windows Starter Kits are priced as
follows: with the LANtastic AE-3(TM) Ethernet Starter
Kit (ISA), $899; with the LANtastic AE-2(TM) Ethernet
(ISA only), $799; with the LANtastic A2Mbps Starter
Kit (ISA), $599.
Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of
hardware and software for local area networks
including the LANtastic Local Area Network. The
LANtastic network and Artisoft's other connectivity
products are distributed in over 70 countries
worldwide.
