Altos Computer Systems has become the first major vendor to sign for Atlantix Corp’s Axcess – a LAN Manager-compatible local area network which supports Unix, Xenix, MS-DOS, OS/2 and Macintosh systems – in an OEM deal due to be revealed over the next couple of weeks. Axcess, which runs under Santa Cruz Operation Unix on Intel 80386 and 80486 personal computers, also integrates with existing Novell, TCP/IP, LAN Manager and NetBIOS networks. According to Doug Beard, director of marketing at the Boca Raton, Florida-based firm, both Sun Microsystems and IBM are lining up to do versions for their respective SunOS and AIX Unix variants.
