Apple Unveils New MultiPort Server for Remote Access

CUPERTINO, California--February 14, 1996--Apple Computer Inc. today
announced the Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server 2.1, a single,
integrated solution for workgroups of 10 to 200 people who need scalable,
cost-effective MacOS-based remote network access. The solution enables
desktop and PowerBook users to connect to an ARA server for access to
network-based information and resources at a remote location using
included ARA Client Software.

"The new MultiPort Server 2.1 makes remote communications easier and more
affordable for Mac users," said Ravi Rishy-Maharaj, product manager, Apple
Computer, "Because it's plug and play, secure and scalable, it is a
perfect solution for small to medium-sized businesses or schools that need
to provide remote LAN access."

Improved Stability and Scalability

The Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server 2.1 has improved stability and a
new multi-line NuBus-based four-port serial card. The new serial card is a
short NuBus card that will fit into Workgroup Server, Macintosh, and Power
Macintosh systems. As many as four cards can be used with PowerPC systems,
allowing the MultiPort Server to support 16 simultaneous connections.

Multiple Levels of Security

security features, including password aging, location validation and the
