PRESS RELEASEMonday 10 September, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Patricia Condon POWERLAN USA ANNOUNCES A NEW VERSION OF eXodus X Window SERVER FOR Macintosh® NASHUA, New Hampshire, September 10, 2001, --Powerlan USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerlan Ltd. (ASX: PWR), announced today that its Connectivity Products Division has released a new version to its X Server solution for Macintosh®. eXodus version 8.0 is a quantum leap forward for Powerlan’s award winning, market leading X Server for Macintosh®. This major new release offers a broad range of improvements in operating system support, integrated security services, and a built-in 3D graphics subsystem. By making more aspects seamless, eXodus 8.0 gives you far more than just a port to the new Mac OS X operating system. eXodus provides native support for Mac OS X, with its state of the art Aqua interface, as well as classic Mac OS. Since it runs on both equally proficiently, it gives you the freedom to migrate from old to new Mac OS without compatibility or re-training concerns. eXodus and its bundled TunnelMate™ SSH security client provide the crucial security system you need to run X applications from anywhere without security concerns. Together they guarantee your X connections are encrypted while sheltering you from the underlying complexities of SSH. eXodus now includes OpenGL® support with hardware acceleration as a standard feature for 3D graphics support. This eliminates the need to purchase additional software, often required by other software vendors. eXodus is available immediately electronically at www.powerlan-usa.com or from your nearest reseller or distributor. Site and enterprise licensing is also available for deployments of 25 units or more. Companies with an alternative X Server product currently installed can take advantage of special competitive upgrade pricing. Campus-wide academic site licenses are also available. Mr. Art Poskanzer of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, who has used eXodus for many years said, “We think it’s great that you added SSH”. Mr. Richard August of Lockheed Martin explains, “We’ve been an alpha and beta tester of eXodus for many years and I’ve always preferred Powerlan’s eXodus product for the Mac”. “eXodus is the only product we use for Mac to UNIX,” says John Binder of Sorenson Technologies.
