market with industry standard
products."

"The beauty of RASCAL's open architecture and seamless Windows NT integration is
simplicity. There's no proprietary
software, no specialized training of staff required, no remote access 'black boxes,' and no
excess cabling&emdash;in short,
no headaches. We were able to install and integrate RASCAL with our RASter Windows NT
remote access server in less
than an hour. The net result is lower cost of ownership for our corporate users and a better
bottom line for Renex."

the Internet, email, and the
corporate intranet. We found that RASCAL's open PC architecture and seamless integration
with Windows NT makes it

remote access systems on a
day-to-day basis."

hardware vendors exploit the remote
access capabilities built into Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT."

"You save money on hardware, and it's just as fast or faster than [Unix-based] remote
access. Deployment is easier; it's
dense enough; and you can integrate it with familiar management [products]. We've been
through the [RASCAL] beta
process?. We took 5000 calls and it was rock solid."
