Swedish software houses Teli AB, from Nynashamn, south of Stockholm, and Adra Datasystem AB of Malmo, in the south of the country, have developed a network application enabling Unix-based systems to act as servers in personal computer local area networks. The Teli system is based on Locus Computing Corp’s PC Integration and runs under Interactive Systems’ version of Unix, while Adra’s system runs under Santa Cruz Operation Unix. Both applications transparently connect personal computers with Unix servers over local area networks using Microsoft Windows as the interface. Neither uses terminal emulation to integrate Unix services into the personal computer environment, instead, the personal computer user sees shared disks, printers and other peripherals as local resources, exactly as on local area networked personal computers. Both applications enable users to access Unix through Windows.
