Enabling FatPipe Internet

FatPipe* Internet is routing software that enables several computers on a LAN to share multiple dial-up connections. Utilizing multiple modems over multiple telephone and other high-speed connections, FatPipe Internet software automatically and transparently coordinates and controls rapid data flow, boosting normal Internet access speeds by two to four times the speed of traditional single-line connections for all workstations on the LAN. It has the following advantages:

FatPipe Internet technology utilizes the current telephone infrastructure to create high-speed data communication links for virtually any workstation. All you need is to install Novell Small Business Suite 6.6, set up Internet connectivity, ensure that the server has multiple dialing capabilities, load the FatPipe modules at the server, and configure the workstations. FatPipe Internet works with any standard modem technology. The software does not require any setup change or special configuration at your ISP.

In addition to offering higher speed at a lower cost for all workstations on your LAN compared to existing connection-sharing solutions, FatPipe Internet requires only minimal technical setup and support for successful operation. It is a highly flexible product that works integrally with, yet independently from, other technologies.
