Stalker Software GmbH
STALKER UPGRADES PORTSHARE PRODUCTS FOR MACINTOSH

CONCORD, CA---July 5, 1993---Stalker Software GmbH., with development labs 
located in Moscow, Russia, and U.S. sales and support offices in Campbell,
 CA, has announced new versions of its PortShare Lite and PortShare Pro 
networking software for the Macintosh. The PortShare products enable users
to  share expensive modems, printers, plotters, and other serial devices
on an  AppleTalk localarea networks.    

PortShare Lite v.2.0 adds support for Apple Remote Access (ARA)  software
and retails at $49. PortShare Pro v.2.0, with an advanced feature  set,
retails at $149, and adds a Statistics Panel that logs real-time, serial-
port throughput and network transmission errors. Stalker products are 
available direct to end users from Global Way, an authorized U.S. reseller
 based in Campbell, CA. Now building relationships with new channel
partners,  Stalker products are also available to qualified distributors,
resellers, and  OEM licensers through WORLDVIEW.

Stalker's PortShare products are compatible with System 7 and Apples 
Communications Toolbox (CTB), and support connections across multiple 
AppleTalk zones at rates up to 57.6 Kbps depending on network media and 
traffic. As an interrupt-driven extension controlled from within the
Chooser,  PortShare runs in the background letting users share devices
providing  maximum performance no matter what other applications are
running on the  Macintosh. Including password protection for each shared
port, PortShare  arbitrates concurrent requests to the same port,
indicates network activity,  and logs user activities for any or all
shared ports. With PortShare  installed, network administrators can
designate ports and peripherals  available for sharing, and lets users
access a shared port on some other  computer.

PortShare Lite, which lets each user make their built-in serial port 
usable by other Macintosh computers on a network, now includes full
support  for ARA allowing users to share the same port used for incoming
ARA calls,  and to use ARA to call out and connect to a remote network
through a shared  modem. In addition to its new Statistics Panel,
PortShare Pros advanced  features allow users to employ both a MacUs
built-in modem and printer ports  to access shared devices simultaneously.
PortShare Pro also provides support  for ARA, and includes the ability to
create virtual ports for applications  compatible with CTB, and the
ability to redefine older applications and non- CTB-compatible tools so
they can be used without having to be attached to the  external serial
port. Additionally, PortShare Pro lets network administrators  assign
group names to any number of shared devices connected to one or more 
servers on a network.

Both PortShare products are available now, and include the software,  full
documentation, access to U.S.-based fax/voice telephone support, and 
offer a 30-day, unlimited warranty and money-back guarantee. Upgrades are 
free to registered users with a minimal charge for shipping and handling.
