ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES LANTASTIC(R) FOR WINDOWS(R) 95
(TUCSON, AZ -- October 9, 1995) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced
today the LANtastic for Windows 95 network operating system,
a 32-bit client and server version of the award-winning
LANtastic system. LANtastic for Windows 95 will allow
Artisoft customers to easily integrate the power and
performance of Windows 95 PCs into their existing LANtastic
networks. The LANtastic software will also allow users to
create a single, cohesive network from Windows 95, Windows,
DOS, OS/2(R) and a variety of Intel(R) hardware platforms.
LANtastic for Windows 95 is expected to begin shipping in
January 1996.
"Our small and medium business customers tell us they will
migrate to Windows 95 technology, but at a gradual pace,"
said Bill Peterson, Artisoft Vice President of Worldwide
Marketing. "We believe LANtastic for Windows 95 is the
perfect solution to help them protect and use their existing
investments in computer hardware and software, while growing
their businesses and networks with the integration of
Windows 95 PCs," he added.
FEATURES
A unique feature of the LANtastic for Windows 95 system is
that it allows users on Windows 95 PCs to access and share
files, CD-ROMs and printers with DOS-, Windows-, or
OS/2-based PCs on a LANtastic network. In addition to this,
LANtastic for Windows 95 has enhanced features for network
administration, security and the network user's interface.
The new network administration feature allows users to view
and add groups and users from a central screen with less
navigating through the network. It also includes a template
feature, in which a profile of user attributes is created
once for applying later as needed for individuals. The
benefit is increased productivity for the network
administrator.
Also new to the network administration is enhanced security
with four new levels of access for supervisors. This
feature provides different levels of access, depending on
whether the supervisor needs low, middle or top access and
management privileges within the network.
Current LANtastic customers will find a familiar yet updated
user interface in LANtastic for Windows 95, that integrates
well with the Windows 95 desktop and feature set.
The LANtastic for Windows 95 system includes a new LANtastic
Custom Control Panel, which allows users to customize tabs
and buttons, displaying as much or as little information as
they want. Users can change settings to suit their needs
for color, tab names, icons and applications, all from the
Control Panel. Plus, they can drag and drop up to 100
different application icons onto 16 user-definable tabbed
pages, and set password protection for each page.
Through the Custom Control Panel, Artisoft's value-added
resellers can incorporate their logo or company information
into "about" screens, and add their applications or
utilities to provide a custom solution for the end user.
AVAILABILITY
LANtastic for Windows 95 will be available as: software-only
kits for 1, 5, 10 and 25 users; two-user starter kits that
include software, two network interface cards and cable; and
add-on kits with software, a network interface card and
cable. Pricing, which will be set approximately 30 days
before the product ships, is expected to be less than the
current $119 (MSRP) for a single-user software-only version
of the LANtastic v6.0 network operating system.
Value-added resellers will be able to preview LANtastic for
Windows 95 at Artisoft's 24-city LANtastic Reseller Alliance
Tour from Oct. 12 through Nov. 7.
