          {Slotless Ethernet connectivity for PCs and peripherals

          The Artisoft Central Station connectivity processor is a LAN port
          for quickly docking portables and peripherals.  It adds expansion
          flexibility without taking up  a  valuable slot in your computer.

          Bring  a laptop  from  the field  and  plug it  into  the Central
          Station PC  port.   The connection provides  full  access  to the
          network,  and disconnects  without a  crash or  even a  ripple in
          network traffic.  Need a  printout from  your notebook  computer?
          Simply connect the  notebook to Central Station and   you're part
          of the office network.  You're ready for hard copy on the network
          printer. When the job is  done, disconnect the notebook without a
          fuss.

          Bring in a temporary workstation  to handle an overload.  Instead
          of wasting time reconfiguring your   network, just plug the extra
          computer into  the Central  Station connectivity processor.      

          Flexible connections  are what  the Central Station  connectivity
          processor is all about. Now you  can  connect more peripherals to
          your LANtastic or NetWare network and switch between them quickly
          and easily. 

          On its  front  panel, Central  Station LEDs  monitor and  display
          connections  with the PC, parallel and serial   ports, as well as
          the network.

          The secret to the Central  Station platform is its onboard memory
          which stores,  redeploys and  adds  capabilities.   These  can be
          modified and upgraded through  StationWare  applications designed
          specifically    for   the  Central  Station  platform   and  sold
          separately.

          The  Central Station connectivity  processor is  revolutionary in
          its ability  to surpass  the limitations  in   otherwise  similar
          products.    It multiplies  the  expandability  of both  PCs  and
          networks, and does so without using a valuable PC slot.  It makes
          using a  portable computer more  practical than ever,  and allows
          new  peripherals to join the network. 

          The Central Station processor has a  mind of its own that  allows
          it  to operate  independently of  the  PC,   and run  StationWare
          software   that  will  endow  it  with  new  and  ever-increasing
          capabilities.
