***Seattle Lab Terminal Server Designed to Support Legacy
Hardware
(April 5)

Seattle Lab has released Seattle Lab Terminal Server 3.0, a web-
based software that allows Windows NT computers to have the same
functionality of a stand-alone hardware terminal server.

One of the primary benefits of Seattle Lab Terminal Server 3.0 is
its ability to support legacy hardware.

Seattle Lab Terminal Server 3.0 is the successor to SLink 2.2,
Seattle Lab’s terminal service for Windows NT, but extends the
capabilities beyond what SLink provided by allowing serial
devices to connect to the LAN, WAN or Internet for connectivity
to a Telnet server via TCP/IP. This extends the usefulness of
serial devices by connecting them to an IP network. In addition
to dumb terminals, Seattle Lab Terminal Server supports any
device with a serial interface, including cash registers,
scanners, bar-code readers, or scientific and medical equipment.

This version is script driven, using SLScript as an engine.
Because of its speed, versatility and design, this scripting
language can be used in situations where the only other solutions
are costly C++ or Visual Basic programming.

Seattle Lab Terminal Server works with SLnet, Seattle Lab’s
multi-use Telnet server, giving serial devices access to the NT
command shell and to character-based applications on the server.
On a system with both Seattle Lab Terminal Server and SLnet, a
user on a dumb terminal can run DOS commands and any character-
based application in DOS, OS/2 Character, POSIX and Win32.

Seattle Lab Terminal Server lists for $499. A full-featured
evaluation copy is available for download from Seattle Lab’s web
site.
