POWERfusion - PC to UNIX connectivity via NetBIOS

Overview

POWERfusion provides PC-to-UNIX connectivity via NetBIOS with a UNIX based file and printer server together with a terminal emulator for PC clients.

POWERfusion is developed by april system design and marketed in over 30 countries.

The Fusion Family

The Fusion family consists of Fusion95 operating over a TCP/IP transport and POWERfusion operating over a NetBIOS transport. Over 70,000 users worldwide use Fusion to provide PC-to-UNIX connectivity. POWERfusion has been awarded "Editor's Choice" by the American PC Magazine and "Best-in-Test" by the Swedish PC World. Fusion95 is an enhanced version of the POWERfusion server with better support for the newer Windows workstations.

UNIX as a PC Server

Use your UNIX machine as a PC file server. POWERfusion implements SMB file and printer services including file and record locking on the UNIX system allowing thousands of DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications to reside on a UNIX file system. This disks and printers appear to the workstation as normal network resources.

UNIX applications can print to PC printers and PC users can print to all UNIX printers. The UNIX lp spooler system can be used as if it were a local PC resource (e.g. LPT2:). POWERfusion allows all printers to be accessed by all users.

Includes Client Software

POWERfusion includes high performance Windows terminal emulation support for ANSI, VT220, VT320 and Wyse. The Windows emulator, called AniTa, is also available separately.

POWERfusion includes the award-winning peer-to-peer PC LAN software, POWERLan.

Also included in POWERfusion, are programs for bidirectional file transfer, text file conversion, remote execution of UNIX programs, and a DOS based Terminal Emulator.

Fast and easy installation

Installation is fast and easy; all you need to install on the UNIX side comes on only one diskette. Installation can be performed in less that 15 minutes.
