Silicon Graphics and NetManage Techology Alliance To Bring Collaborative Technology To Windows PCs

On November 15, 1994, Silicon Graphics, Inc. announced that it has licensed its InPerson(tm) desktop videoconferencing application to NetManage, a leader in TCP/IP for Windows(tm) applications development, for the purpose of developing an interoperability solution that will allow InPerson users to communicate with PCs running the Windows operating system.
