IPT Releases "Partner": Provides AppleTalk Networking for NEXTSTEP
San Luis Obispo, Calif. - April 26, 1993, Information Presentation
Technologies, Inc. (IPT), a leading manufacturer of Macintosh-to-UNIX
connectivity software, has officially released its Partner series of products
for NEXTSTEP systems. Partner provides NEXTSTEP users with AppleTalk client
support and AppleShare server support.
IPT's Partner offers additional options not available with NeXT's AppleTalk
client software, including bi-directional file-sharing, bi-directional
printing, print spooling, print queue management, icon binding/mapping and
electronic mail.
"Partner provides seamless interoperability between Macintosh computers and
NEXTSTEP systems, including both NeXT's 68040-based workstations and Intel-
based PCs that will run NEXTSTEP for Intel processors" said Jon Simonds,
president of IPT.
"NeXT's connectivity strategy is to focus on making NEXTSTEP the leading
object-oriented software for developing and deploying client/server
applications. We want to provide a framework upon which specialized experts
can base their solutions," said Brett Bachman, director of product marketing
at NeXT. "IPT is an ideal example of this strategy in action. As a leading
AppleTalk-to-UNIX networking vendor, IPT is well positioned for delivering
AppleTalk connectivity solutions to NEXTSTEP customers."
Partner for NeXT's 68040-based workstations is shipping now; until NEXTSTEP
Release 3.1 begins shipping, the Partner product will include an update of
NeXT's kernel for improved AppleTalk protocol support. Partner for NEXTSTEP
for Intel processors will be available May 25, 1993. Pricing for Partner
starts at $149.
Information Presentation Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1983 and is located
in San Luis Obispo, Calif. IPT specializes in developing server-based and
peer-to-peer networking products for the UNIX and Macintosh computing
environments. For more information, contact IPT at 555 Chorro Street, San
