Perle Specialix Completes Delivery of LINUX Drivers For Entire Serial I/O Range SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA-- LINUX Users Benefit From Seamless Integration of Serial Devices and Open Source Distribution Model Perle Specialix, a leading provider of local and remote serial-based data communications systems and remote access solutions, today announced that it will deliver the final set of LINUX drivers for its serial I/O range before the end of 1999. In line with a commitment made earlier this year to support LINUX across its whole serial I/O range, Perle Specialix is now offering its customers free access to LINUX driver software for its popular RIO range of high port density, fault tolerant serial connectivity products. This completes the support of LINUX for the whole Perle Specialix serial I/O range, including the recently announced Speed4 and Speed4+ cards, which came with full LINUX support from the first release. Perle Specialix 'Direct Connect' serial I/O products come with a full range of device drivers that support all the popular variants of UNIX, as well as Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT operating systems. Perle Specialix LINUX drivers provide users running LINUX operating systems with a seamless method for connecting serial devices (such as terminals, bar code readers and e-POS devices) to their LINUX-based computing environment. "Perle Specialix is well-known for delivering reliable serial drivers for the UNIX-based mission-critical applications sold by its resellers," said John Seymour, Product Manager, at Perle Specialix. "With LINUX becoming increasingly popular, Perle Specialix has delivered on its commitment to fully supporting LINUX drivers, using the open source distribution model." The Perle Specialix Serial I/O Range offers intelligent, expandable and fault-tolerant connectivity for 4 to 512 serial devices. Typical applications include the connection of devices such as modems, printers, ePOS, and other devices in the hotel/leisure management, banking, manufacturing, real estate, telecommunications, distribution and other markets worldwide. The addition of the LINUX driver helps to increase both local and remote user productivity by enabling these users to connect directly to applications running on LINUX. Companies interested in using the LINUX operating system now have the serial device connectivity they need to successfully make the switch to LINUX. WARRANTY, SUPPORT & MAINTENANCE Serial I/O Cards with LINUX driver software are fully supported under Perle Specialix's five-year warranty. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY New LINUX driver software for the Perle Specialix RIO range will be available for general release on 17th December 1999.
