Inter@ctive WeekJanuary 20, 1998 Ariel To Unveil NT-Based Remote Access Gear By Joe McGarvey 11:00 AM EST Hoping to leverage Windows NT's rising stature as a reliable operating system environment, Ariel Corp. next week will unveil a 24-port remote access server that is based on the popular Microsoft Corp. operating system. The Rascal RS2000 offers enterprises all the ingredients necessary to host up to two dozen remote access sessions, over 56-kilobit-per-second or 128-Kbps Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connections, on a single computer circuit board. The Rascal RS2000, which includes a connection to a 1.5-megabit-per-second T1 or ISDN telecommunications link, is designed to be inserted into an existing personal computer, transforming that PC, according to Steve Curin, marketing manager at Ariel, into a remote access server. In addition to letting enterprises add a remote access server to their infrastructure without purchasing extra equipment, such as a stand-alone server from remote access veterans 3Com Corp., Ascend Communications Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. or Shiva Corp., Ariel's equipment offers further savings by not requiring network administrators to tackle a proprietary operating environment in order to manage their remote access system, Curin said. Instead, he added, the Rascal RS2000 lets enterprises leverage existing technical expertise. "If you have an NT server in-house, then you have NT management expertise in-house," Curin said. "NT is enabling us to make remote access management brainless." In addition to Ariel, several other companies, including Digi International Inc. and RasCom Inc., offer remote access systems based on Windows NT. Maribel Lopez, an analyst at Forrester Research Inc., said that enterprise managers may be more willing to consider trusting their remote access needs to Windows NT as the operating system continues to gain momentum as an enterprise-class operating system. The Rascal RS2000 is scheduled to be available later this quarter and will ship for $9,995. Ariel can be reached at www.ariel.com

NN's TDM rev will be seq. flat or down prompting downgrade SBC Warburg Dillon Read said on Thursday it lowered its rating on shares of NEWBRIDGE NETWORKS CORP. to neutral from buy, based on short-term time division multiplexing (TDM) revenue concerns. "After a review of our estimates for Newbridge's potential product line sales for the fiscal third quarter, we are cutting our earnings forecast from U.S. $0.26 per share to roughly $0.23 per share based on possible weakness in TDM sales in the quarter," analyst Robert MacLellan said. MacLellan said a review of earlier growth expectations for TDM sequentially combined with discussions with industry sources have led him to cut expectations for TDM sales growth sequentially to flat or slightly downward.
