ACC EXTENDS FUNCTIONALITY OF ITS DANUBE BRANCH OFFICE ROUTER WITH THE
UNIVERSAL WAN/ISDN INTERFACE CARD

New UWAN/ISDN interface card gives Danube users WAN access with ISDN backup
for only $700 (US)!

Santa Barbara, Calif. (January 16, 1996) -- Advanced Computer
Communications, Inc. (ACC), the leading provider of network access
solutions for the home, office, and enterprise, has added a new Universal
WAN (UWAN)/ISDN interface card option for the company's popular Danube
branch office router. This new card provides significant investment
protection by extending the Danube's functionality options, making it
possible to support Frame Relay or leased lines with ISDN backup on a
single interface card.

The Danube is ACC's full-featured router that supports all the protocols
found in today's networks. The UWAN/ISDN interface card is a field-
installable, serial interface which provides X.21 or V.35 connectivity
with an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI). The UWAN/ISDN interface card
allows the Danube to support leased line or Frame Relay access with an
ISDN backup link when a link failure occurs. The UWAN comes standard with
ISDN S/T and autosensing synchronous interfaces.

"With this interface card, the Danube provides investment protection as
internetworking requirements change," said Steve Fields, ACC's senior
product marketing manager. "The Danube can be initially configured for
ISDN only operation and as data requirements change, the configuration can
be changed to support a leased line or Frame Relay connection with no
additional hardware costs."

The UWAN/ISDN interface card is intended for applications requiring a 56/64
Kbps leased DDS line. When the UWAN serial port is operational, the ISDN
BRI interface supports a single B channel connection for backup. If the
UWAN serial port is not enabled, both B channels and Multilink can be
utilized.

The Danube is ideally suited for remote sites and branch offices,
interconnecting to regional or corporate locations. Now, with the
introduction of the UWAN/ISDN interface card, there are even more options
available to Danube users -- especially those Frame Relay or leased line
applications requiring mission critical backup. Using the UWAN/ISDN
interface card, a primary Frame Relay or leased line connection can be
supported by a backup switched ISDN connection.

Pricing and Availability

The UWAN/ISDN interface card for the Danube is priced at $700 (US) and will
be available for shipment in February.
