{L A N T A S T I C {F O R {TCP / IP {Connect the LANtastic desktop to powerful computing platforms The LANtastic network opens access to a vast array of major computing platforms that use the common language of a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) system. A TCP/IP corporate network might include DEC/VAX(R) and DECstations, Hewlett-Packard(R), Sun(R) or a variety of other workstation platforms, as well as NCR(R) and AT&T(R) minicomputers, IBM(R) mainframes and PCs running SCO UNIX(R). LANtastic for TCP/IP software allows users on a LANtastic PC network to share the host computer's printers, disk space, data files, applications and more. Unique to LANtastic for TCP/IP software is its elegant centralized server configuration. Instead of storing full TCP/IP software on every station's hard drive, the program's 2.5 megabytes of program kernel and drivers are available to all workstations on a LANtastic for TCP/IP server. Workstations on the LANtastic network run a batch file for access to the TCP/IP server to load the TCP/IP drivers and connect to the network. This improves performance and simplifies control of Internet addresses, user names and passwords. It also allows floppy- based or diskless workstations equal access to the host. You can set up as many workstations as you wish for TCP/IP access, limited only by the licensing for one, five, ten or 100 simultaneous TCP/IP workstations. LANtastic for TCP/IP allows broader use of corporate resources: {} Increases efficiency by allowing users to share documents, spreadsheets and data files with other TCP/IP clients where like applications (such as Lotus 1-2-3(R) on DOS and UNIX) exist across the network. {} Reduces costs for space, time and capital equipment by enabling terminal emulation for access to non-PC applications and for interaction with secondary programs previously accessible only through common-use, centrally-located terminals or additional desktop terminals. {} Lets you take advantage of corporate resources for mass storage, backup and archives elsewhere on the TCP/IP network. {} Allows TCP/IP clients access to LANtastic local area network printers. LANtastic for TCP/IP software supports Domain Name Service, a centralized host name database application that facilitates host lookups. It also supports TELNET, which provides the basis for terminal emulation, including local/remote echo and suppress go-ahead. FTP, another supported application, allows users to manipulate and transfer files between the local system and a remote host. The PC FTP server application, FTPD, provides access to the PC for other FTP users. Other supported applications include UNIX R-commands, the PING Internet Control message protocol and the industry-standard Network File System (NFS) client. LANtastic for TCP/IP supports DEC VT terminal emulations, including mouse support in windowing environments; IBM Display Station with screen sizes, color, extended attributes and status line features; keyboard remapping between PC and DEC VT or 3270-style keyboards; up to 25 individual sessions running concurrently in Windows (depending on available system memory); or six sessions in DOS; and third-party terminal emulation. {Features {Applications access across the network {} TELNET {} FTP {} LPR {} FTPD {} TFTP {} RCP, RLOGIN, RSH {} NFS (client) {Windows applications {} TELNET {} FTP {} LPR {Memory requirements {} Basic TCP/IP kernel and drivers (except NFS and LPRS): 37K {} NFS client services: 27K additional {} LPRS printer server (host prints to PC): 30K additional {Terminal emulations for applications {} VT100, VT220, VT240, VT320, VT330, VT340, ReGIS Graphics Support, 3278 (mods 2,3,4,5) {} Keyboard remapping {} Multiple session support (25 in Windows, six in DOS) {User interfaces {} MS-DOS(R) 3.3 or higher {} Windows 3.0 and higher (optional) {Printing resources {} LPR and LPR serverApplication program interface support {} Berkeley Sockets (TSR & DLL) {} NetBIOS {} Interrupt 14 {Transport support {} TCP, IP, ARP, SNAP, ICMP, UDP, SNMP {} RTT estimation {} Congestion avoidance {} Domain Name Services {PC requirements {} IBM PC or compatible {} One floppy disk drive {} MS-DOS(R) 3.3 or higher {} LANtastic Network Operating System {} Windows 3.1 or higher (optional) {The Artisoft Advantage {} Free, unlimited technical support to registered end users and dealers {} An unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee on all Artisoft products {} Five-year limited warranty on all Artisoft hardware Artisoft International Headquarters 691 East River Road Tucson, Arizona 85704 USA Sales/Customer Service 1-800-TINY RAM Headquarters 1-602-293-4000 Fax 1-602-293-8065
