WAN Solution for MCA

QPSX, developers of IEEE 802.6 and SMDS systems, has release its QP2000
series of WAN adapters. The adapters provide a low cost alternative to the
use of routers and DSUs for connections with SMDS, Frame Relay, and ATM
Services.

According to existing users SMDS has been under-rated for corporate
networking. Organizations such as NASA, Rockwell, Quebecor and others are
enthusiastic about its benefits for their businesses. Wide area SMDS is
now being offered by carriers for effective across the enterprise
integration of local networks. Access rates from 56 Kbps to 45 Mbps and
the unique capability of SMDS to adjust for different network access
speeds permits service costs to be tailored to the needs at each site of
an organization.

PQSX has available an adapter that operates with workstations and servers
on Micro Channel architecture and the 1.5 Mbps DS1 rate SMDS access. The 2
Mbps E1 SMDS access as used in Europe and other countries is also
supported. Software is included to integrate the adapter for operation
with SMDS. Individual and group addressing supports enterprise wide
operation of Novell's NetWare file and message transfer facilities and,
optionally, Novell's Multi-protocol Router for client-server operations.

The MCA 1.5 Mbps DS1 SMDS Adapter is priced from $3,000 including software,
configurator and 90-day replacement warranty.
