“Performance Technologies…announced that it has added Linux(R)
operating system support to its family of Wide Area Networking

high availability solutions for Internet Protocol (IP) telephony
networks.”

“PTI’s integrated protocol software includes support for Frame
Relay, X.25, HDLC, LAPD and Synchronous Bit Stream. In addition to
Linux, PTI also supports other industry standard operating systems
such as Solaris(R), Windows NT(R) and VxWorks(R), allowing
