OfficeConnect
Advantages

The OfficeConnect integrated net-
working system is designed to take
the worry out of building and run-
ning a small network. The
OfficeConnect family of products
provides networking capabilities for
small businesses and offices sharing
computer and information resources,
high-speed access to the Internet,
and remote and enterprise connectiv-
ity for branch offices connecting to
the central corporate site.

Easy to install, configure, and

use, the flexible product line
includes 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-port
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hubs;
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX switches;
remote access servers; remote access
and enterprise routers; a high-speed
Internet gateway; and network print,
fax, and CD-ROM servers supplied
by Castelle. The OfficeConnect
products clip together in a space-
saving stack, working together in an
integrated system that combines
simplicity, advanced functionality,
and performance—all at a great
price.
