been selected as the top networking software vendor in VARBusiness' 1994

vendor. According to the survey, VARs are particularly pleased with the
upgradability, reliability and seamless connectivity of the LANtastic v6.0
network.

needs is the company's two new reseller programs: the Advantage Partner
program and the Premier Partner program," the article stated.

reseller, commented in the article, "It's imperative that a vendor be
