> >NO. ANDOVER, Mass., September 7, 1994 -- FTP Software, Inc.
> >(Nasdaq:FTPS) today announced Services OnNet 1.1 for DOS/Windows, a
> >set of integrated applications that enables peer-to-peer networking in
> >PC-based TCP/IP environments, while dramatically simplifying TCP/IP
> >configuration management. The Services OnNet package is an add-on
> >to FTP Software's flagship product, PC/TCP OnNet 1.1 for DOS/Windows.
> >
> >While conventional PC-based TCP/IP software typically provides just
> >the client connectivity to UNIX servers, Services OnNet lets
> >customers implement TCP/IP server applications on DOS and Windows PCs. 
> >
> >Services OnNet 1.1 includes an NFS server for Windows based on
> >Microsoft's 32-bit Virtual Device Driver (VxD) technology. This
> >VxD-based approach offers better performance and memory utilization
> >than dynamic link library (DLL)-based servers, allowing users to
> >implement peer-to-peer TCP/IP networks that deliver high-performance
> >file and print sharing.
> >
> >
> >Services OnNet also features the first commercially available Dynamic
> >Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for Windows, complementing
> >the DHCP client in PC/TCP OnNet. DHCP greatly simplifies TCP/IP
> >network administration by dynamically assigning IP addresses and
> >configuration parameters for each networked PC.   
> >
> >By providing centralized TCP/IP configuration, Services OnNet's DHCP
> >support offers significant cost-savings, time-savings and
> >productivity benefits for administrators of large, enterprise-wide 
> >network environments.
> >
> >"What I like most about Services OnNet is the availability of a DHCP
> >server, because I have several cases where I need TCP/IP
> >configuration control," said Rodney Thayer, vice president of
> >research and development at Sable Technology. "For example, I use a
> >large, industrial-grade PC to download images to routers, and to act
> >as a configuration server for workgroup PCs. Services OnNet's DHCP
> >and file transfer services deliver the functionality I need to
> >easily manage these situations."
> >
> >Network administration is further simplified by a Windows-based
> >Server Control application, providing an easy-to-use interface for
> >configuring, running and monitoring network services. 
> >
> >Services OnNet also includes:
> >
> >* File Transfer Services -- FTP and Trivial FTP (TFTP) servers for
> >Windows provide comprehensive file transfer capabilities. The FTP
> >server shares  user and password definitions with the NFS server for
> >centralized user administration. 
> >
> >* Print Services -- Both the LPD and NFS print servers are tightly
> >integrated with the Windows Print Manager, simplifying the
> >administration of shared network printers.
> >
> >* NFS Server for DOS/Windows -- A terminate and stay resident
> >(TSR)-based NFS server provides seamless file access under DOS and
> >Windows, allowing the server to switch between them without affecting
> >client connections. 
> >
> >Availability and pricing
> >
> >Services OnNet is available immediately with a U.S. list price of
> >$100. Volume discounts are available. 
> >
> >FTP Software is the leading independent supplier of TCP/IP-based
> >network software for the PC, with the industry's largest TCP/IP
> >support team and development staff. The publicly held company
> >provides internetworking software and applications for the corporate
> >and personal Interprise networking market. Considered the pioneering
> >developers of TCP/IP for PCs, the company's Interprise technology
> >enables millions of PC users worldwide to access resources across
> >workgroup LANs, enterprise networks and the global Internet.
