Are you looking for a network system that's compatible, easy to use, and affordable? DoubleTalk offers you more than any other Amigatm network! DoubleTalk gives you two network protocols: standard AppleTalktm for compatibility with Apple MacIntoshtm computers, peripherals, and laser printers, or the exclusive high-speed DoubleTalk mode for Amiga-only networks. Installing DoubleTalk couldn't be easier - just insert DoubleTalk cards into the Amigas you want to network, attach the included PhoneNet connectors, and plug in standard phone cables to set up a virtually unlimited variety of networks. An unlimited number of Amigas and MacIntoshestm with DoubleTalk's network bridge support capability. Adding or removing network servers and clients is just as simple! Unlike other networks, DoubleTalk allows any Amiga on the network to share its own files and resources, in addition to having access to files and resources on the network. A dedicated server system isn't necessary with DoubleTalk! A high-speed onboard processor and dual 512 Kbit ROMs ensure fast, efficient and error-free transfer of data throughout the network, without unnecessary use of the Amiga's RAM and processor. DoubleTalk's "quiet" multi-tasking design ensures compatibility without sacrificing performance! Eliminate the time, expense, and inefficiency of having the same programs and data filling up hard drives on dozens of machines, and give floppy machines access to large hard drives through the network. You won't need a printer for every computer anymore - DoubleTalk's printer server handling and print job spooling capability make network printer-sharing easier than ever before. DoubleTalk saves you disk space and desk space! Every DoubleTalk card comes with Network-Manager, the state of the art in network management software. Using Network-Manager's simple, intuitive interface, even complex networks can be configured in a matter of minutes. You won't have to change your system parameters or modify startup- sequences. - let DoubleTalk create installation and boot disks for the Amigas on your network! Set up a user database the way you want it; add or change passwords at two security levels to keep private programs and data secure. Restrict access to files on a public, group, or individual user basis. Set file attributes to make files "invisible", read-only, or allow full access. Create servers as large or small as you like. Since any AmigaDOS volume may be set up as a server, Amigas on your DoubleTalk network can share large RAM disks and special peripherals. DoubleTalk's unique internal protocol management allows full access and support for a virtually unlimited number of peripherals, without confusing technical jargon or complicated setup procedures. DoubleTalk also comes with other useful software. The NetMail system allows you to send and read network mail, such as notices, interoffice memos, or private messages. Just click on the NetMail icons for easy access to the network mail system! An onscreen network activity indicator may be activated, and separate quick icons are provided for changing network speed on the fly and accessing other network facilities. All network functions are accessible through both the keyboard and the mouse, to suit every user's preference. DoubleTalk supports network-distributive software, such as 3-D Professional's ray tracing software, to use the processing power of all Amigas on the network to finish time consuming jobs quickly. Processor intensive tasks which tied machines up for hours can be done in minutes on a DoubleTalk network! DoubleTalk comes with plug-in card with extra serial port, phonenet connector, NetMan software and utilities, and thoroughly illustrated manual with many network examples.
