Complete PC to UNIX Connectivity and more!

NetManage, the leading supplier of standards-based IntraNet solutions, introduces ChameleonNFS/X, the industryÆs most comprehensive and fully featured PC to UNIX connectivity solution. ChameleonNFS/X, part of the new Chameleon ATX product family, is targeted at Microsoft Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT users who need to access NFS and FTP servers or want desktop access to UNIX applications, UNIX file systems and networked printers.

ChameleonNFS/X integrates NFS, FTP, LPR, LPD, X server, TN3270E, TN5250 and the full complement of Telnet emulation, including VT340 and VT420. These applications are easily accessed utilizing the new Go IntraNet! single point of integration. The Go IntraNet! button significantly increases ease-of-navigation to applications and information on the IntraNet and eliminates the time and frustration spent looking for the correct application.

ChameleonNFS/X simplifies information access with a single vendor, standards-based solution by integrating ChameleonÆs industry-leading terminal emulation (TN3270/TN5250/TNVT), easy-to-use file and print sharing, NetManageÆs world class X-server (XoftWare) and latest X11R6.1 X Windows emulation, the industryÆs leading standards-based e-mail product (Z-Mail Pro), an easy-to-use discussion group and news viewer, NetManageÆs Internet access tools, including WebSurfer and the new Internet Viewer, and a widely used desktop whiteboarding and videoconferencing application.

Additionally, ChameleonNFS/X adds value and increases productivity by enhancing your existing TCP/IP network with cutting-edge tools and protocols, including multiple SNMP Super Agents to enable remote desktop support, and NetManageÆs Policy Management Architecture (PMA) components, delivering network bandwidth controls at the desktop level. ChameleonNFS/X includes NetManage's ActiveX Controls, including HTTP, HTML, SMTP, POP, FTP and WinSock, along with numerous Visual Basic and Borland Delphi scripting tools, for implementing time-saving automation techniques for completing repetitive and complex tasks, thereby greatly improving user productivity.

NetManageÆs Z-Mail Pro supports in-line HTML viewing and composition with embedded graphics, uses the Internet standard SMTP and POP protocols and supports IMAP4 centralized message storing allowing system administrators to backup e-mail for multiple users simultaneously.

Powerful NFS Client and Server

ChameleonNFS/X has the most powerful client/server functionality available for the PC. You can seamlessly share files and directories with any other NFS system including UNIX, IBM, DEC, Mac OS, and other PCs. With NFS you can execute programs over the network or run applications locally while transparently storing data on a network server. The NFS client, implemented as a VxD, can run over the NetManage or Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stacks and can support as many as 24 network drives. All functionality is integrated into the Windows File Manager or Explorer, so accessing a remote drive is as simple as pointing to a disk icon and clicking. All remote systems appear as directories and files in File Manager. You can even transfer files between two remote systems from your PC. NetManage developed the industryÆs first NFS server for Windows. The NFS server lets other NFS clients retrieve PC files. Now you can use powerful host-based back-up tools for the PC by mounting each PC as a file system.

Full Featured 32 bit PC X Server

XoftWare is an optimized 32-bit X server giving all Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT users unparalleled performance and flexibility on their PC-to-UNIX desktop. By combining NetManageÆs advanced user interface with the X ConsortiumÆs X11R6.1 server technology, XoftWare provides many unique features that offer unequaled ease of use for PC to UNIX connectivity. Users can access and display Windows applications and X Window System applications concurrently on their desktop. Designed for the user who requires straightforward access to network-based UNIX applications, XoftWare offers a full suite of user-oriented features including concurrent window management, a point and click application launcher, a tool bar for all commonly used configuration options, and a sophisticated cut and paste tool for sharing information between UNIX and Windows. Serial ConneXion is available for remote, dial-up X Window connections.

Chameleon Remote Desktop Management Capabilities

ChameleonNFS/X delivers a complete set of desktop management utilities including remote access, network administration tools and local network controls. These applications and utilities will save you time and increase your productivity by empowering your desktop users and network administrators with all of the tools they need to get their job done.

Network bandwidth limitation is becoming a significant problem in environments where online video conferencing, heavy web activity, multimedia network applications and other high bandwidth applications are deployed. Policy Management Architecture (PMA) is integrated into Chameleon to give network managers control over their IntraNet. Now the network manager has control over the types of data allowed on the IntraNet, how much bandwidth is allowed for specific protocols and applications, and a means for signaling class of service. In addition, API modules can be plugged in for additional capabilities such as data encryption or compression.

Chameleon includes the most complete set of applications for administration of your network. NetRoute static router, a Domain Name Server (DNS) for name resolution, Ping, Finger, Name Resolver, NIS Lookup, PC Net Time, R-commands, and network statistics are included. Chameleon even supports redundant default gateways and name servers for added network reliability.

Look@me Remote Monitoring Now Available.

Any Chameleon Windows, Windows 95, or Windows NT desktop can now observe what is happening on any other Chameleon PC. You can watch software demonstrations remotely or troubleshoot software problems from anywhere on your network.

ChameleonNFS/X includes all the tools you need for PC to UNIX connectivity.
