IOXperts ANNOUNCES 802.11b DRIVER FOR MAC OS X

CAMBRIDGE, MA, March 5, 2003 - IOXperts is pleased to announce Mac OS X support for more than 60 different 802.11b wireless networking cards on PowerBooks equipped with PC Card slots. The IOXperts driver brings back support for WaveLAN and Orinoco cards while adding support for dozens of additional cards.

As wireless networks become the standard for homes and businesses, an amazing variety of low-cost networking cards are available, but very few of these provide Mac support off the shelf.

IOXperts solves this problem by providing Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 support for more than 60 different wireless cards, including many popular models from Agere, Lucent, Linksys, and Netgear.

The IOXperts 802.11b driver for Mac OS X provides support for AppleTalk (with an AppleTalk-compatible base station), 64- and 128-bit WEP, AirPort password algorithm, and listing of available networks.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

Pricing is USD $19.95 for use with a single wireless card under both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. This is a free upgrade for IOXperts' existing Mac OS 9 customers.

The driver may be downloaded from the IOXperts web site at <http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b_X.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 9 customers should simply enter their current serial number to unlock the Mac OS X driver.
