Orlando, FL, Sunday, September 7, 2003 (COMMON Fall 2003) - BOScom, Ltd. today announced the availability of a new management module for use with its award-winning TCP/IP TN5250e display and printing emulation software. The new product enables quick and easy installation, upgrade, and user/group configuration, and is intended for large-scale (100 users or more) or distributed (20 or more remote user) installations. The new module provides a fast return on investment, by saving both users' and administrators' time, and enhances system security and control.

Since 1997 BOSâNOVA TCP/IP has been providing iSeries enterprises with easy-to-install, TN5250e display and printing emulation software for their LAN-connected PC users. With the release of the Management Module, these enterprises can now save valuable system resources by providing centralized management, without interruption or modification of existing workstations.

"Large enterprises have a high overhead with regard to installation and maintenance of PC workstations and applications," stated Martin Pladgeman, President of BOSaNOVA, Inc. "We realized that our customers could save money by eliminating the need to contract and dispatch a technician to install, upgrade, and maintain their emulations."

The BOSâNOVA TCP/IP Management Module allows a network administrator to handle a variety of tasks from a single location on the network, including installation, upgrade and configuration. Printer definitions and user/group permissions can be set up remotely. For workstations that have undergone reformatting or an operating system upgrade, all parameters (including macros, printer definitions, keyboard mapping, etc.) can be restored quickly and easily. The Management Module also supports customization based on customer requirements, such as user identification based on User Name, Computer Name, or workstation IP address.
