malor components that interact in nar-
mony so you can dse yobr available per-
sonal computers to share access to data
and intercommunicate
eiectronicallv.
There are network servers, the user
workstations, theinterfacecards, the ca-
bles, the network software for both
sery-
ers and workstations, the application
software, and peripherais (one of the
shared resources that make networking
so cost-effective).
A server 1s a computer with a hard disk
Inat is dedicated to serve a network
function. The Tandy
5000MC, 4000 and
3000 with hard disk drives can function
as
servers. Tape backup is highly rec-
ommended for data and
file security.
The workstation can be a Tandy
5000MC,
4000,3000
or a 1000 TLISL.
There are two kinds of software: net-
work software and applications soft-
ware.
3Com's networksoftware falls into
two categories: server and user. The
base product-and a requirement for
all other optional
3+ software-is
3+Share.

it is to utilize the

AT&T's
thoroughly field-tested UNiX* system.
The XENIX "core" (or runtime package)
includes the modules required to easily
implement and operate this system.
Using SCO XENIX, ail data can be con-
veniently stored on
theTandy 5000MC's
or
4000
s hard disk. Files can then be
shared by all users in the system, or
restricted to certain users. (Record lock-
ing prevents two users from writing to
the same record at the same time). And
everyone in the system can share the
peripherais, from printers to plotters to
modems.
Think of the
possibilities.
