IPSWITCH, Inc. Releases Catipult Version 1.3 

Catipult Gives Novell Users Convenient Access to TCP/IP Hosts
Version 1.3 Adds Windows Front End and Winsock Interface

READING, MA, September 1, 1993 - Ipswitch, Inc. today announced the
availability of Version 1.3 of Catipult, a powerful gateway for NetWare
users. Catipult allows NetWare workstations to run TCP/IP applications
concurrently with NetWare in order to communicate with workstations,
minicomputers, mainframes, and other hosts running UNIX or any of a wide
variety of operating systems.

As the PC TCP/IP and NetWare markets have grown, there has been an
increasing need to run both protocols on the same PC. The gateway approach
adopted by Catipult is an alternative to "dual stacks", which requires too
much system administration. Catipult is ideal for small, medium, and large
Novell LANs, with capabilities to support 30-300 concurrent users.

WHY CHOOSE CATIPULT?

*Windows Front End: WCAT front ends lets users navigate between all of the
Catipult applications and enter parameters using Windows dialog boxes.

*Winsock: The new Windows Sockets interface makes a large and quickly
growing base of third party TCP/IP applications compatible with Catipult.

*45- and 60- User Versions: Catipult's scope has expanded from the 30
concurrent users supported by Version 1.2 to include the new 45-user and
60-user versions available in Version 1.3. Since Catipult's licensing is
based on concurrent usage, a 60-user gateway often supports as many as 200
users.

*Printer Redirection: Users are able to print to network printers from
within DOS and Windows applications.

*Dynamic Session Allocation: Sites with multiple Catipult gateways may now
specify all of the gateways on the application command line, and Catipult
will find the first available gateway.

*Full Screen Installation: The Catipult installation program has been
completely revised and is now a full-screen, windowed program with on-line
help.
