Rogers Tel: 414-241-4555 ext.293 Fax: 414-241-7084 Email: NicoleR@Frontiertech.com Frontier Technologies' SuperTCP Suite 96 Automatically Supports Windows 95, Windows NT, And Windows 3.1 In A Single Package Award-Winning SuperTCP Suite 96 Is Designed For Effortless OS Migration Mequon, WI -- December 18, 1995 -- Frontier Technologies announced today an innovative licensing and packaging scheme for its new SuperTCP Suite 96 product line. Frontier Technologies is the first to provide a full-featured OneCD-OneLicense-OnePrice TCP/IP solution designed to ease corporate c ustomers' migration to 32-bit Windows operating systems throughout 1996 and beyond. SuperTCP Suite 96 is the next generation of Frontier Technologies' award-winning SuperTCP family of products. SuperTCP Suite is the two-time winner of Communications Week's MAX Award, Data Communications' Tester's Choice, and LAN Magazine's Product of the Year. Super TCP Suite is a lso the exclusive winner of Motorola's MOTSan Gold Certificate of Excellence, surpassing all other TCP/IP products tested. In addition, SuperTCP Suite has won InfoWorld's Buyer's Assurance Seal, Mier Communication's "Networks As Advertised", PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award (both U.S. and U K.), PC User's Lab's Recommended Product (U.K.), and SunWorld Online's Reviewer's Choice. In the October 1995 issue of SunWorld Online, SuperTCP Suite outperformed all ten other TCP/IP products tested in FTP file transfer times and NFS transmission times. Frontier's award-winning Super TCP Suite 96 is an integrated solution that turns PCs into full members of the corporate network utilizing the TCP/IP multi-platform communications protocol. With SuperTCP Suite 96, users can access and share data anywhere on their internal network and the Internet using SuperTCP's four dozen applications which provide Network Communications, including the Network File System (NFS), Internet Information Management, mainframe and minicomputer Host Access, an X-Windows server, and comprehensive Network Administration. OneCD-OneLicense-OnePrice SuperTCP Suite 96 is provided on a single CD-ROM which includes both 16- and 32-bit versions of the applications. An intelligent installation program detects a PC's operating system -- Windows 95, NT, or 3.1 -- and automatically installs the appropriate version of SuperTCP Suite 96. SuperTCP Suite 96 licenses are priced identically for all versions, and each license is valid for any version. For example, a customer may have 100 PCs on the network running a mix of Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT. The customer knows that the mix will gradually change in coming months , as the whole LAN migrates to Windows 95 and NT. With Frontier's convenient licensing and packaging, the customer can purchase 100 licenses, and can install SuperTCP Suite 96 on every PC. As each PC moves to a new operating system, the same license and same CD can be used to install the 32-bit versions of SuperTCP Suite. "Companies will migrate to Microsoft's newer operating systems over 1996 and beyond," according to John Teitgen, President of Frontier Technologies. "Businesses will continue to shift their mix of operating systems. Frontier Technologies is taking the hassle out of that migration process." Additional Installation Flexibility In addition to supporting network migration, SuperTCP Suite 96 allows users to install from the single CD only those applications they choose to license. The intelligent installation feature automatically installs the applications group licensed, ranging from SuperTCP Internet to SuperTCP/NFS t o the complete SuperTCP Suite comprised of four dozen applications. Availability SuperTCP Suite 96 is available in mid December 1995, priced at $595 for a single user license. Components of SuperTCP Suite 96 may be purchased separately. Components are priced as follows: SuperTCP Internet ($125), SuperTCP ($295), SuperTCP/NFS ($395), SuperNFS ($195), SuperX ($295), and Sup erTCP Kernel ($95). Please refer to the attached "SuperTCP Suite 96 Application Map" and "SuperTCP Suite 96 Highlights" for details about features of individual components.
