- 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.

- 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
