ARTISOFT INTRODUCES LANTASTIC(R) FOR WINDOWS(TM) 
STARTER KITS
Bundles LANtastic Starter Kits With LANtastic For 
Windows 4.1 Network Utility For $199 Savings

(TUCSON, AZ -- April 29, 1992) -- Artisoft, Inc. 
announced today that it will begin offering LANtastic 
for Windows Starter Kits -- LANtastic Starter Kits 
bundled with the LANtastic for Windows network utility 
-- for an additional $100 over the cost of Artisoft's 
regular LANtastic Starter Kits. Available immediately, 
these kits offer $199 savings on the LANtastic for 
Windows network utility which is available separately 
for $299. 

The LANtastic for Windows Starter Kit includes two 
Artisoft(TM) adapters, cabling and the newest versions 
of the award-winning LANtastic Network Operating 
System and LANtastic for Windows network utility. It 
is available with the LANtastic AE-3(TM), AE-2(TM) and 
A2Mbps(TM) Starter Kits.

"Artisoft's leadership in Windows networking is making 
Windows' easy-to-use graphical interface more 
accessible than ever to PC users," commented Dave 
Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of Sales and 
Marketing.

The LANtastic network is recognized as the leading 
DOS-based peer-to-peer network and has won numerous 
industry awards for its cost-effective features, 
performance, and ease of use. It allows up to 300 
users of IBM(R)-compatible computers to connect and 
share information and peripheral devices such as 
printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs. 

LANtastic Starter Kits offer a complete hardware and 
software networking solution for two PCs -- two 
Artisoft adapters, LANtastic NOS, cabling and 
documentation -- from which users can add nodes by 
installing additional adapters and cabling. Designed 
to offer a one-stop solution, LANtastic Starter Kits 
allow users to build their networks around their 
choice of Artisoft Ethernet-standard adapters or the 
proprietary LANtastic A2Mbps adapters.

The LANtastic for Windows network utility has the same 
new features as the DOS-based LANtastic 4.1, but 
within the easy, graphical user interface (GUI) of 
Microsoft Windows' pull-down menus, icons and on-line 
help. It supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) so that 
Windows applications can use LANtastic e-mail to 
exchange messages and transfer data. It runs with 
LANtastic v4.0 and higher and Microsoft Windows v3.0 
and higher.

The LANtastic for Windows Starter Kits are priced as 
follows: with the LANtastic AE-3(TM) Ethernet Starter 
Kit (ISA), $899; with the LANtastic AE-2(TM) Ethernet 
(ISA only), $799; with the LANtastic A2Mbps Starter 
Kit (ISA), $599.

Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of 
hardware and software for local area networks 
including the LANtastic Local Area Network. The

products are distributed in over 70 countries 
worldwide.
