SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2000--Encanto Networks, Inc., the leading provider of small business network services and Internet appliances, today announced a licensing agreement with SCO that will help small and medium businesses realize the full promise of the Internet. The agreement calls for Encanto to Internet-enable the SCO Appliance Server operating system with Encanto's InstantConnect SM service.
Ideal Solution for SMB Market
Integrating InstantConnect with the SCO Appliance Server provides small and medium-size businesses with an ideal, UNIX system-based solution for their e-commerce and other Internet applications. The SCO-Encanto solution delivers high Web server reliability, availability and scalability, and dramatically enhances Web site performance.
``The InstantConnect service allows small businesses to connect to the Internet through existing telephone lines, without incurring `always on' fees or requiring cable, DSL or T1 connections, which are unavailable to many small businesses,' said Bob Frankenberg, president and CEO of Encanto. ``Adding InstantConnect to the SCO Appliance Server platforms ensures small business customers have an integrated and flexible OS and Internet connection for conducting e-commerce, maintaining email accounts, and hosting Web sites, intranets and extranets.'
``Our customers in the small and medium size business market need reliable and fast Internet connections to ensure success for their businesses,' said Alison Deane, senior manager of SMB and e-business marketing at SCO. ``Our customers will welcome the addition of Encanto's InstantConnect technology for the SCO Appliance Server. This will allow them to capitalize on the Internet and eCommerce markets that are becoming inherently important to the small and medium size business.'

It delivers Web-site performance that rivals broadband connections, while providing 24/7 server and PC Internet access at the industry's lowest cost.
