- ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES NEW LANTASTIC
- FOR NETWARE
- 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. It is scheduled for release in August 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.
