MONTREAL, CANADA--
DIVA LAN Modem Honored as One of Industry's Top Technology
Products
Eicon Technology, a worldwide provider of remote access products,
today announced that it has been chosen as a finalist for Network
Computing's "Well Connected Awards." The awards, which recognize
the best lab-tested products in 50 categories, will be bestowed on
May 8th at NetWorld+Interop 2000 in Las Vegas. As a finalist,
Eicon stands to win the acclaimed "Best Product of the Year" in
the Access Device Category, for its versatile DIVA LAN ISDN Modem.
"We're honored that Network Computing is considering our product

President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing Operations. "The
unparalleled functionality and ease-of-use of the DIVA LAN Modem
make it a strong contender in its category. We're extremely
pleased to receive this recognition."
The Well-Connected Awards are highly regarded within the
networking industry. They are the only annual awards to use
hands-on evaluations to choose the winners. Finalists are chosen
by a team of Editors who have already used the products in Network
Computing Labs as part of the process of researching articles.
These IT experts then put the products through a rigorous testing
process in the Real-World Labs(R). This hands-on selection
process ensures that the winners are chosen on more than
reputation alone. Only the most innovative and user-friendly
products make the final cut.
Eicon's DIVA LAN ISDN Modem is a powerful multi-user solution for
SOHO and Branch Office users. World-Class Customers such as
TeleDanmark, KPN Telecom and Lake Communications have selected it.
The modem's 4 Ethernet ports allow several users to connect to
the Internet and corporate networks at once. By linking
additional hubs, it is capable of expanding up to 50 users, making
it especially attractive to growing businesses. The DIVA LAN ISDN
Modem's convenient plug-and-play design makes it easy to install
by non-technical personnel in remote and small offices, thereby
reducing the cost of technical support. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem
combines several key communications functions to create a unique,
