PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Multia Enterprise Client is the solution for users who need to
integrate PC, UNIX, OpenVMS, and legacy applications into a single,
centrally managed desktop. Using industry-standard network protocols, the
Multia Enterprise Client systems can access applications and data
anywhere on the network.

Multia Enterprise Client expands the current Alpha-based Multia family
with high-performance Intel Pentium 100-MHz models. Multia is a fully
integrated hardware/software desktop that enables users to simultaneously
run Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows applications locally, while
accessing UNIX and OpenVMS applications via an integrated X server.
Terminal-based applications are accessed through embedded emulators. The
Multia Enterprise Client software is designed using industry-standard
technology with value-added features, such as Configuration Manager,
which allows system administrators to centrally manage each Multia
desktop on the network. Its PCI-based hardware design provides integrated
Ethernet, graphics, and audio capability in a very small footprint.

Multia is a lower cost platform than PC's because it includes many
features and options as part of its standard configuration, including
Configuration and Application Managers; Kea! VT340/420 Terminal
Emulation; embedded network protocols, such as DECnet, LAT, and NFS (with
X server option); built-in Ethernet support; and built-in graphics and
audio capabilities.

Each Multia Enterprise Client model comes with pre-installed software, so
no lengthy installations are required. Multia workgroups can be
preconfigured by the system administrator so that each Multia user is
automatically configured for application access at power up. One Multia
System Administrator Kit must be purchased for each installation. Multia
software options include the Multia X Server Option V3.1 and RUMBA for
Mainframe for Multia Option V3.1.

Multia Base Software V3.1 for Intel

Multia Base Software is factory installed on each Multia Enterprise
Client model. Features include

o  Multia Configuration Manager -- Lets system administrators remotely
   manage and configure Multia desktops on the network.  It can be used to
   create workgroups of users with common application requirements and skill
   sets. Workgroup definitions can include access to networked applications;
   availability of hardware options; and settings for keyboard, desktop,
   network, and software options. System administrators can lock or unlock
   any Multia feature. The Configuration Manager supports both LAN and WAN
   environments and provides password protection. The status feature enables
   a system administrator to query any Multia system in the environment to
   obtain information on network counters, which applications are being
   accessed, and system configuration data. Multia Configuration Manager is
   complementary to management software, such as SMS and AssetWORKS. The
   Multia Enterprise Client can be managed by SMS and AssetWORKS management
   software in the same way as any other Windows NT device. The Multia
   Configuration Manager is used to control and customize Multia desktop
   attributes.

o  Multia Application Manager -- This is the user's primary interface to the
   Multia client and is used for accessing local and remote applications.
   Application icons are displayed in a customizable control panel. The list
   of available applications, their location on the network, the transport
   used to access them, and their startup procedures are all predefined
   remotely by the system administrator. End users simply point and click on
   an icon to startup an application session. The autostart option is used
   to select which applications startup automatically at the beginning of a
   Multia session.

o  Windows NT Workstation 3.51 operating system --Microsoft's powerful,
   advanced 32-bit, multitasking operating system provides the power of a
   workstation with the ease of use, productivity, and compatibility of a
   personal computer. It includes integrated networking (TCP/IP, NETBEUI,
   and IPX/SPX) and is compatible with Windows, MS-DOS, OS/2, and POSIX
   applications.

o  Embedded network protocols -- DECnet and LAT (32-sessions, Service
   Classes 1, 3, and 4) are included, in addition to the protocols available
   with Windows NT Workstation 3.51.

o  Kea! VT340/420 terminal emulation -- This local terminal emulator
   provides full VT340 graphics, VT420 text, and Tektronics 4010/4014
   terminal emulation.

o  Reference Desk -- Provides users with online information about Multia,
   including a graphical user tutorial; problem solving; context-sensitive
   help; system administrator's information and online help; and information
   on software and hardware options, including graphical installation
   instructions.

o  Netscape Navigator -- Provides immediate user access to the Internet.
