REAL/32 WIN Server
IMS are proud to announce the launch of REAL/32 WIN Server version 1.00. This product is a major enhancement to REAL/32 network connectivity, allowing Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT and other SMB compliant clients to share REAL/32 drives and printers. In order to utilise the functionality of REAL/32 WIN Server, REAL/32 version 7.8 needs to be pre-installed onto the host machine.
REAL/32 WIN Server features and benefits:
 | Uses industry standard networking protocol SMB (Server Message Block) Benefit – Typically there is no need to purchase extra client software as Windows has the networking client built in. |
| Reduced cost of ownership Benefit – The Client side only needs one network card to access REAL/32 host and other Windows machines, the overall cost of the solution is therefore reduced. |
| IPX or TCP transport standards Benefit – By designing the WIN Server to use the IPX and TCP standards, IMS makes routing through Wide Area Networks easy. |
| Uses the REAL/32 ODI stack Benefit – Compatibility. Most network cards are shipped with ODI drivers, allowing customers greater choice, (including 100mb). Benefit – Both IMSTerm for NetWare and WIN Server can share the same network card. |
| Allows printer mapping and sharing. Benefit – Both Windows 95/98/ME machines and REAL/32 users can now access the same printer transparently. Important Note : Printing from Windows NT/2000 machines is not currently supported. |
| Ease of use Benefit – Specifically designed to be simple for the end customer. Customers can map network drives and devices as if they were local. |
| Simple installation and low maintenance overhead |
| Cost effective |
