Major extensions for HP ISDN products

HP ISDN products now are sup- ported in more countries. The

HP ISDN server allows for intercon- necting geographically distributed Ethernet local-area networks (LAN) over ISDN networks for all applica- tions using the TCPAP cornmunica- tion protocol and acts as a call concentrator for integrating

.standalone PCs equipped with the HP ISDN LinkMS-DOS to a remote LAN. The HP ISDN server (P/N J2101A) and HP ISDN Link1 MS-DOS (P/N J2102A) products now provide extended geographical support in countries where these products have been successfully certified for the first time. The products are available and can be attached to the public ISDN net- works in the following countries: Australia, France, Germany,Japan, the U.K., and the U.S. (AT&T5ESS). Certification is in progress for Belgium, Italy, and the U.S.
