{ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES NEW LANTASTIC(R) for NETWARE(R) }
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 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. LANtastic is a trademark of Artisoft, Inc. NetWare and Novell are
