B.O.S. Better On-line Solutions Adds Automatic Session Recovery to its Remote Controller

The industry’s only pure TCP/IP controller ensures smooth and efficient operations even in cases of network instability

Minneapolis, MN (COMMON Expo) and Teradion, Israel, October 21, 2001 - B.O.S. Better On-line Solutions (NASDAQ: BOSC) today announced that its e-Twin@x ControllerTM, a complete hardware and software solution that provides a secure, encrypted connection to the AS/400 over the Internet or WAN and empowers local or remote Twinax networks to support TCP/IP, now supports automatic session recovery.

Previously, when a router on a frame-relay network disconnected, and then re-connected, there was no way for users of remote Twinax-attached devices to resume their current session. With the new enhancement to the e-Twin@x Controller, these users will be able to choose, upon reconnection, whether or not to resume the session. The e-Twin@x Controller can be set to automatically recover the session, within a user-defined time period, ensuring smooth and efficient operations even in cases of network instability.

Distribution and Availability

The e-Twin@x Controller is available worldwide through the extensive B.O.S. network of subsidiaries, distributors, and value-added resellers (VARs). For more information call 1-800/866-6267 in the U.S., +44 116 282 0600 in Europe, or visit www.e-twinaxcontroller.com.
