business alliances with resellers and system integrators who address the Windows NT market," comments William R.
Koss, Vice President of Sales for SDL Communications, Inc. The Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Lab tests
hardware for compatibility and performance with Windows operating systems.
The SDL WAN adapter products certified by Microsoft are key
components of SDL's WAN Adapter offerings. The primary use of these
WAN adapters in the Windows NT platform are for Internet access and
Server Based Remote Access using the Routing and Remote Access
services offered by the Windows NT platform. SDL includes Windows NT
software support for PPP, Frame Relay and NDIS software drivers. SDL
is also developing support for IPX and X.25 protocols to be delivered
in 1998.
"Towards the end of 1997, SDL will be certifying three more WAN adapters for use in Windows NT platforms. It is
our objective to establish a leadership position in the Windows NT WAN adapter market by offering support for
WAN services from 56k through T3 (45Mbps)," adds Koss. "Windows NT is an important market for SDL and we
plan to set the market standards."
