New Apple IP Gateway Now Available

CUPERTINO, California--October 18, 1994 -- Apple Computer, Inc. today
announced availability of the Apple IP Gateway, a new software server
product for AppleTalk users that, in combination with Apple Remote Access
products and MacTCP , enables easy-to-use dial-up access to IP-based
services such as the Internet. The software can be used as a standalone IP
Gateway server or in combination with other Apple products, such as the
Apple Remote Access Personal Server 2.0.1, Apple Remote Access MultiPort
Server 2.0.1 or the Apple Internet Router 3.0.1.

Significance:

The Apple IP Gateway works in conjunction with MacTCP, available on Apple's
System 7.5 operating system or as a standalone product. MacTCP client
software allows Macintosh computers on IP networks to communicate using
TCP/IP protocols. With the Apple IP Gateway, the MacTCP client can now be
used on Macintosh computers connected to an AppleTalk network. The Gateway
acts as a translator between AppleTalk and TCP/IP network protocols,
allowing Macintosh computers on AppleTalk networks to access IP services
as if they were on the IP network.

Together with MacTCP, the IP Gateway enables multiprotocol connectivity.
While accessing TCP/IP services, using tools such as Telnet, File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), Gopher, World-Wide Web and Wide-Area Information Servers
(WAIS), customers continue to have full access to their existing AppleTalk
services. Customers can, for instance, simultaneously connect to an
AppleShare file server through AppleTalk and a UNIX host through FTP.
Macintosh customers can now easily get access to both AppleTalk and TCP/IP
services from the office, home or on the road with Apple Remote Access.

Availability and Pricing:

The Apple IP Gateway is a standalone software package and is available
through Apple authorized resellers at a Suggested Retail Price of $249 in
the U.S. Current customers in the U.S. with the Apple Remote Access
Personal Server 2.0.1 or MultiPort Server 2.0.1 or the Apple Internet
Router 3.0.1 can purchase the IP Gateway at a reduced Apple Price of $69
(with proof of purchase) by calling 1-800-769-2775 (ext. 5922). Price and
availability may vary outside the U.S.
