In addition to supporting serial communications, poly-STAR includes poly-NET which provides state of the art PC to DEC connectivity for LAN-based PCs. poly-NET incorporates Polygon's multiple protocol technology which allows both DEC's Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol and the PC LAN protocols to simultaneously operate on a single Ethernet board. This enables PCs to communicate directly over Ethernet to both a PC LAN and a DEC VAX or other host - with no gateways or rebooting. Support for industry-standard interfaces include NetWare ODI and Microsoft NDIS compliant networks. (Banyan Vines, LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and others).
You may purchase poly-STAR for Windows in single user or in network versions. The network version includes additional user management features that you install to your PC LAN Server.
The poly-STAR/TW provides text only emulation. The poly-STAR/GW has every feature of the STAR/TW in addition to the graphics capabilities.
