FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IOXperts UPDATES ITS 802.11b DRIVER FOR MAC OS 9
CAMBRIDGE, MA, March 20, 2003 – IOXperts has released v. 1.0.2 of its
802.11b driver for Mac OS 9. Like their current Mac OS X wireless driver,
it supports more than 60 different 802.11b wireless networking cards on
PowerBooks equipped with PC Card slots. This new release also fixes some
bugs and includes support for the Short Preamble feature, which is intended
to improve network throughput when transmitting streaming video or voice.
IOXperts’ 802.11b drivers give Mac users a broad choice of wireless cards,
including many popular models from Agere, Lucent, Linksys, and Netgear. The
drivers support AppleTalk (with an AppleTalk-compatible base station), 64-
and 128-bit WEP, and listing of available networks. Microsoft’s Broadband
Wireless Notebook Adapter (MN-520), and the Siemens SpeedStream Wireless
PCMCIA Card are now supported, too.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
Pricing is USD $19.95 for use with a single wireless card.
The driver may be downloaded from the IOXperts web site at
(http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b.html). The driver will run in trial mode
for 30 minutes at a time until it is registered.
Each license is tied to the MAC address of the card registered and may be
used (with that card) on multiple computers with both the Mac OS 9 and Mac
OS X versions of the driver. Existing Mac OS X customers can simply enter
their current serial number to unlock the Mac OS 9 driver. And vice versa,
of course.
