TotalNET Advanced Server

TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS) provides a unified networking solution for multi-platform LAN and WAN environments. TAS enables LAN Manager, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 3.x, OS/2, NetWare, and AppleTalk clients to share file, print, and terminal services transparently across a UNIX server, regardless of their choice of client software and network protocol.

Because TAS software uses UNIX as the enterprise LAN server operating system, it can operate with other UNIX processes. This interoperability allows you--the administrator--to use UNIX's multi-user scalability for application, file, printer, ATLW, terminal, NVT, mail, communications, and database services.

TAS includes three realms:

• LM-NT-OS/2 realm -- The realm for LAN Manager, Windows NT, Windows 95, and IBM OS/2 clients running TCP/IP or NetBEUI transports.

• NetWare realm -- The realm for NetWare clients running the IPX/SPX transport.

• AppleTalk realm -- The realm for Macintosh clients running the AppleTalk transport.
