MACINTOSH FILE SHARING NOW AS EASY OVER IP AS OVER APPLETALK</p>
<p>ASHLAND, OR. -- February 9, 1999 -- Open Door Networks Inc. today<br />
announced that is was shipping ShareWay IP 2.0, a major new release<br />
of its groundbreaking Internet and intranet file sharing product.<br />
ShareWay IP 2.0 makes sharing Macintosh files through Internet<br />
protocols as easy as sharing the same files through AppleTalk, and is<br />
the first Macintosh product to utilize the Internet-standard Service<br />
Location Protocol (SLP). ShareWay IP 2.0 also includes additional<br />
ease-of-use and security features requested by users.</p>
<p>"With Mac OS 8.5, Apple has made the Internet as easy to use as a<br />
Macintosh," said Peter Lowe, director of worldwide product marketing,<br />
Mac OS. "And now with ShareWay IP 2.0's support for Apple's Network<br />
Service Location, Open Door Networks has made Internet-based personal<br />
file sharing as easy to use as file sharing over AppleTalk networks."</p>
<p>"ShareWay IP has been critical to customers needing IP-based file<br />
sharing for over a year," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Open<br />
Door Networks. "But until now they've had to give up some of<br />
AppleTalk's ease of use to gain the power and reach of IP. ShareWay<br />
IP 2.0 makes IP file sharing as easy as AppleTalk file sharing, while<br />
at the same time advancing the cause of ease-of-use on the Internet<br />
by pushing the envelope with SLP."</p>
<p>ShareWay IP 2.0 includes two new ease-of-use features previously only<br />
available through AppleTalk file sharing: the ability, through SLP,<br />
to dynamically locate and access servers (as with the AppleTalk<br />
Chooser), and the ability to provide file service through a<br />
transparent, OS-integrated mechanism. ShareWay IP also continues to<br />
provide easy server access from Web pages through AFP URLs.</p>
<p>ShareWay IP 2.0 utilizes Apple's new Network Services Location (NSL)<br />
technology, included with Mac OS 8.5, to dynamically register through<br />
SLP, in much the same way that AppleTalk-based file sharing registers<br />
with the Name Binding Protocol (NBP). Clients wishing to easily<br />
browse and access ShareWay IP servers can utilize Open Door's new AFP<br />
Engage! 2.0 product and NSL to display a list of available servers<br />
and to initiate point-and-click access to those servers through the<br />
standard AppleShare client. A copy of AFP Engage! 2.0 is included<br />
with ShareWay IP 2.0.</p>
<p>ShareWay IP 2.0 also includes a new background-only mode of<br />
operation. In background-only mode, ShareWay IP essentially becomes a<br />
part of the Mac OS itself, transparently merging with the Mac's<br />
built-in personal file sharing to provide seamless IP-based file<br />
sharing. Users no longer have to worry about accidentally quitting<br />
ShareWay IP, or wonder why it shows up in the application menu.<br />
Finally, ShareWay IP 2.0 includes real-time logging features which<br />
are essential to any comprehensive security strategy.</p>
<p>ShareWay IP is available in three editions: Personal, Standard and<br />
Professional. Personal supports the Mac's built-in personal file<br />
sharing; Standard supports any single AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP)<br />
server, such as AppleShare 4.x, Windows NT or Novell NetWare;<br />
Professional supports up to 256 AFP servers. Due to limitations with<br />
Apple's SLP plug-in, only the Personal and Standard editions are<br />
being upgraded to 2.0 at this time. A future version of the SLP<br />
plug-in is expected to address these limitations, at which time a<br />
ShareWay IP Professional 2.0 is anticipated.</p>
<p>Free evaluation versions of ShareWay IP 2.0 Personal and Standard<br />
editions and AFP Engage! 2.0 are available from the ShareWay IP Web<br />
site at <a href="http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/" title="http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/">http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/</a> . The Web site also<br />
contains information about the Service Location Protocol, which is<br />
key to ShareWay IP 2.0's ease of use. The prices for ShareWay IP<br />
remain unchanged at $79 ($69 educational) for the Personal Edition<br />
and $249 ($179 educational) for the Standard Edition. Volume and site<br />
licenses are available. Upgrades from previous versions of ShareWay<br />
IP Personal and Standard are also available, and are free to anyone<br />
purchasing these products after January 3, 1999. All products can be<br />
purchased directly off the Web site.</p>
<p>Open Door Networks, Inc., a pioneer in the field of Internet tools<br />
for Macintosh computers, was founded in January, 1995 by Alan<br />
Oppenheimer, an 11-year Apple veteran and co-creator of the AppleTalk<br />
network system. Open Door's mission is to provide Macintosh users<br />
with Internet solutions that are as easy-to-use and as powerful as<br />
the Macintosh itself. Open Door Networks is located in Ashland,<br />
Oregon.</p>
