Low-end network operating system developer Artisoft Inc has announced a new kit enabling its LANtastic local area peer-to-peer operating system to interconnect with other operating environments, as well as providing a Network Driver Interface to the LANtastic NetBIOS. The Tucson, Arizona company claims that Network Driver Interface Support for LANtastic Kit will enable users to load or stack multiple protocols, providing support for transparent access across systems, including Unix (via Network File System), NetWare (using a separate IPX NDIS driver), and the IBM Corp mainframe. The company claims that these protocols can be loaded and accessed simultaneously without interrupting the LANtastic network connection. Available from the end of last month, the kit will have a list price of UKP150, the company says.
