MONTREAL, QUEBEC--Eicon Technology, a global leader in remote
access solutions, today announced that the company's DIVA ISDN
interface card software drivers will be included for distribution
with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) BackOffice Small Business Server version 4.5.
Eicon's DIVA ISDN interface card drivers allow a small business to
take full advantage of Small Business Server's advanced
communications capabilities. The DIVA ISDN cards provide full fax
server support, two concurrent incoming and outgoing fax sessions,
dual modem sharing, and support for remote dial-up access for
ISDN, analog or GSM mobile phones, over a single ISDN line.
"Eicon's DIVA ISDN interface card software drivers will enable our
small-business customers to take advantage of ISDN-based Internet
connectivity, remote access and faxing capabilities," said Brian
Jeans, product manager for Small Business Server, Microsoft Corp.
"This capability is particularly important to meet the
connectivity needs of our global base of small-business customers."
DIVA ISDN solutions simplify small business communications and
make getting connected to outside resources very easy and
inexpensive," said Ken Gingrich, Eicon's Senior Vice President,
Worldwide Sales and Marketing Operations. "By working with
Microsoft on their industry leading small business server product,
we are able to offer an all-in-one, easy to use solution for
technology providers to configure and manage all the
communications needs of small businesses."
To better meet the needs of small-business users worldwide, a
highly intuitive user interface is distributed with Small Business
Server 4.5 for installation and configuration of Eicon's DIVA
software in multiple languages, including English, German, French,
Spanish and Japanese.
Available in both ISA and PCI bus formats, DIVA ISDN cards are
analog modem and fax "plug-and play" adapters that, when installed
in the Small Business Server, manage inbound and outbound
communications traffic in a highly reliable and cost-efficient
manner. The cards' Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) enable
concurrent analog and high-speed ISDN transmissions over the
B-channels, as well as support for GSM-compatible mobile phones.
