BROOKTROUT EXPANDS SUPPORT FOR UNIXWARE AND SOLARIS.Brooktrout Technology, a Brooktrout company (Nasdaq: BRKT BRKT Bracket ) has announced expanded support for UnixWare from SCO (The SCO Group, Lindon, UT, www.sco.com) A leading vendor of Unix operating systems for the x86 platform. SCO had also offered Linux, but abandoned the line in the spring of 2003. The SCO Group is the combination of two companies: Utah-based Caldera, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOC SCOC Supreme Court of Canada SCOC Second Coming of Christ SCOC System Control and Operations Concept SCOC Saginaw Community Outreach Center (Saginaw, Michigan) ) and Sun Solaris (Nasdaq: SUNW SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc (former stock symbol; now JAVA) SUNW Stanford University Network Workstation (Sun Microsystems, Inc) ) operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . Support for additional operating systems allows developers to create applications based on the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. of their choice.

The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. boards. The Solaris platform is now supported now by the Netaccess Series cPCI WAN access cards and TR114 Series boards, and will be supported in the future by Brooktrout Technology's TR2001 Series. Future versions of Brooktrout Technology's TR1000 Series(TM) high density fax and voice boards will support both platforms. "This support for UnixWare and Solaris is part of Brooktrout Technology's commitment to provide broad support of operating systems, allowing developers to choose the best operating system for their application requirements," said Jeff Sieloff, vice president of Marketing for Brooktrout Technology Needham Division. "Our support for UnixWare and Solaris allows developers to create high density, telco-grade applications, such as unified messaging, voice over IP and wireless telephony on a reliable platform."

Brooktrout Technology's cPCI product family enables effortless development of applications for voice, fax, data, IP Telephony and wireless markets that require high density in an industrial bus design. The cPCI product line is well suited for many WAN access communications applications such as implementing routers, gateways, and switches in open telephony architectures. "A large segment of the networking market is based on UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). environments," said Jon Sirota, president and general manager of Brooktrout Technology Salem Division.
