BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 1999--

-- KEA! X 4.1 provides a high performance, integrated management

solution to meet all connectivity needs of the UNIX-focused

enterprise user --

Attachmate Corporation today announced the release of KEA!(R) X 4.1, a PC X server and total solution for UNIX(R) host access.

KEA! X 4.1 provides Microsoft(R) (MSFT) Windows(R) 95/98 and Windows NT(R) users with a complete, X-focused, TCP/IP solution that also includes the ability to access enterprise systems using VT, TN3270e, and TN5250 emulation. KEA! X's enhanced performance increases user productivity and reduces the overall cost of access and ownership.

Features that increase productivity and decrease costs. KEA! X is designed for easy administration. From the full-featured Management Console for remote administration to automatic support for dial-up LBX connections, to fully customizable support for every Windows color mode, KEA! X eases the burden of

configuring and deploying X application access.

One management tool for the entire enterprise. The Management Console simplifies software deployment, configuration, and administration, helping to control overhead costs and reduce total cost of ownership. A solution for the entire enterprise, the Attachmate(R) Management Console manages KEA! X 4.1 and all Attachmate host access software.

"One of the characteristics of host information access is many organizations require more than one type of solution, especially large enterprises -- the core of Attachmate's large customer base," said Ron Angerame, Attachmate director of product marketing. "KEA! X is a complete, high-value solution for UNIX and mainframe connectivity organizations. Because KEA! X uses Attachmate management technology, it provides an integrated solution for Attachmate customers who also access X applications."
