Funk Software Ships PPP-Based Remote Access Client

Dual DOS and Windows Interfaces, Multiprotocol Support, and Integrated
Remote Control Give Dial-In Users Flexible, Speedy Access to all LAN-Based
Resources

CAMBRIDGE, MA, June 12, 1995--Funk Software, Inc. this week began shipping
the WanderLink PPP Client Pack, standards-based remote access software
which lets mobile workers access all resources on a LAN, including their
own PCs--regardless of which PPP-based remote access server they're
dialing in to. Supported remote access servers include 3COM's
AccessBuilder, NEC's Dr. Bond, the Digital Equipment Corporation
DECserver, the Shiva LanRover/E, remote access servers from Cisco Systems
and Xyplex, and other remote access servers which support the Point to
Point Protocol (PPP).

The WanderLink PPP Client Pack includes the WanderLink PPP dial-in Client
and Proxy, a powerful remote control program that runs from Windows. With
the WanderLink PPP Client, a mobile worker can connect over phone lines to
any PPP remote access server and become a node on the network. Once the
remote user has connected to the network, he or she can run Proxy over the
connection to take over and operate PCs on that network, even those not
equipped with a phone line and modem. This integrated remote node and
remote control capability lets a remote PC user choose the optimal method
of access to the enterprise LAN--and easily switch between the two types
of operations within a Windows session.

Because the WanderLink PPP Client Pack includes remote control capability,
support for both IP and IPX transport protocols, and dual DOS and Windows
interfaces, it offers the most functionality of any dial-in client
software. Plus, the WanderLink PPP Client Pack is based on the standard
Point to Point Protocol (PPP), so a remote user can connect to many
different networks--regardless of which remote access server is
installed--right from the same interface.

"Working from home or on the road has become a way of life for many
people," said Cimarron Boozer, vice president of product marketing at Funk
Software. "The WanderLink PPP Client Pack provides these workers with full
access to all resources on the LAN--via both remote node and remote
control--while requiring them to run only one program on their PC. This
not only simplifies how they connect to the LAN, but also lets them
conserve memory and disk space on their laptops."

the remote PC

Authentication Protocol (PAP), and Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (CHAP)
