The Central Station connectivity processor, priced at $595, is a modem-sized multiport hardware device that uses StationWare software to provide laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and print serving capabilities to LANtastic or NetWare Ethernet networks. The Central Station/StationWare bundle is available immediately for both LANtastic and NetWare networks. The LANtastic Central Station/StationWare bundle comes with all three StationWare applications -- laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and print serving. The NetWare Central Station/StationWare bundle comes with StationWare for laptop connectivity and print serving, as well as a coupon for free remote dial-up software which will be released later this summer. {"Artisoft is committed to bringing the greatest value to its {customers and dealers,"} stated Dave Hallmen, Artisoft Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Now users can take full advantage of the current features of the Central Station connectivity processor -- notebook connectivity, printer serving and remote-dial up -- all in one convenient package." The Central Station connectivity processor allows users to quickly connect/disconnect a variety of peripherals such as laptops, notebooks, printers and modems to a LANtastic or NetWare network without disrupting the network. It connects to Ethernet networks running either thin coax or 10BASE-T cabling and features a PC interface port, one parallel port, two serial ports and an optional SCSI port as well as 128K onboard upgradeable RAM. The Printer Server StationWare software adds print serving capabilities to the Central Station connectivity processor so that users can set up printers in convenient locations without using a single expansion slot or a PC printer port. This software can support up to three printers -- one parallel and two serial. Each serial port can be configured for a different baud rate, type of parity and number of stop bits. The serial ports can communicate at speeds up to 38.4 kilobits per second. The LANtastic Dial-Up Connection StationWare software adds remote access capabilities to a LANtastic network through a modem attached to the Central Station connectivity processor. Remote users can dial in to the LANtastic network and log in to servers, use e-mail, print to network printers and share and transfer files just as if they were attached locally. All the features of the LANtastic Network Operating System will be available to the remote computer, and it can communicate with any other PC in the network. This Central Station/StationWare bundle offer is limited-time offer and is subject to discontinuation without notice.
