Murray, Utah - January 20, 1997 -
Clark Development
Company, pioneers in host communication software products,
today announced the availability of a Windows 95 Modem Server
program which allows remote users to connect to a Windows 95
computer via modem and receive a PPP connection -- providing a
TCP/IP link to the computer that Modem Server is running on,
the local area network, an intranet, and the Internet in
general.
The Modem Server software supports PAP user authentication
without requiring any dial-up scripting; authenticates user
names and passwords from a flat file or database (not dependent
on the Windows 95 registry); uses TAPI to guarantee
compatibility with a wide range of communications hardware,
serial cards and modems; dynamically allocates a free IP
address to each caller every time they connect; automatically
determines network settings by reading the configuration of the
installed ethernet adapter from the registry file; and provides
extensive on-screen information including the status of each
modem, name(s) of the currently connected users, number of
bytes sent and received during the connection, and a message
window for each device configured with extensive diagnostic
messages during negotiation and authentication.
"There are many Windows 95 based Internet server software
programs on the market, but no easy way to provide remote
dial-up access to those servers, intranets or the Internet with
Windows 95," said Steve Klingler, Vice-President of Clark
Development. "Several solutions exist which use Windows NT
software or expensive RAS hardware, but this is the first
product generally available that provides remote-node
connectivity under a Windows 95 environment."
The Windows 95 Modem Server software is also included at
no charge with Clark Development's MetaWorlds Interactive
Information Server software which operates under Windows 95,
Windows NT Workstation, and Windows NT Server. Additionally,
third party developers may license the Modem Server technology
for use with their own server software.
