     {Connect Macintosh computers to a LANtastic PC network}

     The LANtastic(R) for Macintosh(R) kit converts a PC into a gateway
     server that connects an unlimited number of Macintosh computers to a
     LANtastic network. When PCs and Macintoshes use parallel applications,
     they can share data files through the gateway server. 
     
     When an application is present on both machine formats, files on the
     gateway are visible to both sides. So a document created in
     WordPerfect(R) on a PC that passes through the gateway is readable on
     WordPerfect for Macintosh. Lotus 1-2-3(R) spreadsheets created on the
     Mac and saved to the gateway's hard drive are readable by a
     Windows(TM) or MS-DOS(R) version of 1-2- 3. Run equivalent electronic
     mail software on both Macs and PCs and all users can communicate
     across hardware platforms. 

     Macintosh users can reach through the gateway for access to PC files
     on LANtastic servers. The gateway server appears by clicking
     AppleShare(R) from the Chooser screen. A single Mac-to- gateway
     connection opens the communication path to all the Macs on that
     system. Files on PC drives redirected through the gateway are viable -
     and accessible - as Macintosh icons. Mac users have access to any disk
     drive and PostScript(R) printer on a LANtastic server. When a Mac user
     opens a PC data file, the Mac automatically launches the file in its
     application. 

     From the PC side, users have access to Mac files saved to - and
     translated by - the gateway server. The server files appear as a
     normal DOS directory. The gateway shows up as as a redirected
     LANtastic drive. 

     LANtastic for Macintosh is available in two versions. The complete kit
     includes the necessary hardware and software to get you up and
     running: the LANtastic for Macintosh software, a Local Talk(TM)
     adapter card, cable and user's manuals for the software and adapter.
     The software kit includes LANtastic for Macintosh software, a user's
     manual and driver programs for EtherTalk(R), Local Talk and Token Ring
     adapters. 

     The software provides transparent integration between the Macintosh
     and PC environments, bringing together the world's two most popular
     computer formats on a LANtastic network.
