Artisoft Promotion Bundles Central StationTM 
Connectivity Processor With Two Additional 
StationwareTM Applications For $198 Savings

Remote Dial-Up And Printer Server Features For 
LANtastic(R) And NetWare(R) Networks Included In 
Addition To Laptop Connectivity

(TUCSON, AZ. -- June 17, 1992) -- Artisoft announced 
today that for a limited time it will bundle its 
Printer Server and Dial-Up Connection StationWare 
software applications, valued at $99 each, at no 
charge with the Central Station connectivity 
processor. 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. Users who purchased the Dial-Up 
Connection and Printer Server StationWare applications 
after May 1, 1992 should contact Artisoft Customer 
Service at 602-293-6363 for reimbursement information.
