Novell Announces NetWare Telephony Services 2.21

OREM, Utah -- February 12, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. today announced the release
of NetWare Telephony Services 2.21, bringing the power of NetWare
Directory Services (NDS) to Novell's network telephony integration
system.

NetWare Telephony Services connects computer networks and telephone
systems, allowing existing line-of-business applications to automate and
integrate call handling with business processes. Network applications that
use NetWare Telephony Services are able to place calls, route calls,
report system wide telephone activity and provide call-related information
simultaneously with the call.

NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 is fully integrated with NetWare 4.1, so
administrators can manage their systems using the familiar NetWare 4.1
administration interface and NetWare Directory Services (NDS). This means
the telephony server can be securely administered from anywhere in the
network, under the same policies and using the same tools as the rest of
the network. Additionally, NetWare Telephony Services uses NDS to assign
telephone services and user rights to users who already exist on a
network; it saves the administrator from the time and effort required to
build a separate telephony database that would create administrative
duplication.

NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 also supports TCP/IP connections natively
between the telephony server and Windows 3.1 clients. This TCP/IP support
makes NetWare Telephony Services the only network telephony solution
designed to work in a pure TCP/IP environment as well as an IPX/SPX
environment.

NetWare Telephony Services is based on Novell's Telephony Services
Application Programming Interface (TSAPI), that represents the de facto
international call processing standard: CSTA. Its foundation in this
standard has attracted broad industry support. Today, more than 16 switch
drivers and 43 applications are available in use by customers world wide.

Pricing and availability

NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 is available immediately. Licenses are
available for 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 users at prices ranging from
$1,295 for 5 users to $26,995 for 250 users. Upgrade pricing is also
available for users of previous versions of NetWare Telephony Services.
