FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Internet Made Easy:
SAGEM Planet-ISDN USB Adapter for USB equipped Macs

SAGEM, a world leader in the supply of ISDN equipment, announces an
innovative solution in Macintosh networking: the Planet-ISDN USB
Adapter for USB-equipped Apple Power Macintosh computers. This
compact unit is a perfect complement to USB Macs for connecting to
the Internet and for transferring files at high-speed over ISDN lines
at 128Kbps.

SAGEM products are used extensively by graphics, publishing and photo
industry leaders worldwide. Major international media outlets such as
Time Magazine and nearly all European press agencies and American
tabloids use this technology to transport their graphics files around
the world.

The USB derives its power from the Macintosh and comes standard with
all the Planet ISDN software that has made the range of SAGEM
Planet-ISDN products such a success:

SAGEM PPP 2.0, offering 128Kbps synchronous Internet access for
standalone workstations or Ethernet LANs (via the software Internet
router).

SAGEM MPTOOL, used for simultaneous multiplexing of up to four
adapters to provide data rates up to 512Kbps for file transfer.

SAGEM Easy Transfer Light 4, a completely new version for file
transfer. Easy Transfer PRO is the gold standard for high-speed file
transfer worldwide for the Macintosh/ISDN environment.

SAGEM Serial2ISDN, the AT serial port emulator, which enables other
telecommunications applications, such as ARA, TIMBUKTU, etc., to
function at 128Kbps.
The SAGEM Planet-ISDN USB Adapter is now available in the US and
Canada through Synapse, the North American distributor for SAGEM. The
list price is $275 per unit. An ISDN NT1 (Network Termination-1) unit
is required to provide the U (two-wire) interface, the typical
service interface offered by US and Canadian telephone companies, and
can be purchased separately.
