Additions in this new release include Windows NT 4.0 compatibility, a terminal emulator, and localized language support. SCO Advanced File and Print Server 3.5.2 has expanded functionality and compatibility, including full interoperability with Windows NT 4.0, allowing access to shared resources through the server's Internet name or IP address. Based on the newest Microsoft NT networking technology, SCO Advanced File and Print Server is also peer-to-peer compatible with Windows NT, bringing seamless integration to enterprise environments using both SCO OpenServer systems and Windows NT Servers. "The power of SCO Advanced File and Print Server is that it provides instant access to resources on SCO OpenServer systems while requiring a zero learning curve for the Windows user," said Greg Schwarzer, SCO's director of Product Marketing, Layered Products. "This allows Windows desktops to be integrated into both corporate networks and the Internet, sharing critical business applications, data, files, and printers." Additional new enhancements include: the addition of SCO TermLite, providing terminal emulation over TCP/IP or NetBEUI; support for files and directory names containing mixed-case characters; and the ability for Windows clients to browse across routers and PPP connections. In addition, the new Advanced File and Print Server now supports both French and German languages, enabling global enterprise customers to tailor solutions for specific geographic regions. Compliant with the emerging Common Internet File System (CIFS) standard, SCO Advanced File and Print Server allows customers to easily access shared files and printers on highly reliable and scaleable SCO servers, from virtually any desktop on the network. UNIX directories are accessed as Windows network drives, and UNIX printers are accessed as if they were connected directly to the desktop PC, without the need for additional client software. It also allows for centralized server administration with the use of the Windows NT Server Tools.
