The Advanced Networking Group at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc.,
(soon to be known as Network Computing Services, Inc.) is pleased to announce
the beta availability of the second release of its Host ATM Research
Platform (HARP 2) software.  HARP 2 is available free of charge for
non-commercial purposes.

The HARP 2 software implements the IETF Classical IP model for using IP
over ATM networks, including:

   o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
   o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
   o UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
   o FORE Systems' SPANS signalling protocol

HARP 2 supports the following:

   o Hosts and Operating Systems
	- SunOS 4.1.x for SPARC (sun4c, sun4m) workstations
	- FreeBSD 2.1.5 (and higher), FreeBSD 2.2.x

   o ATM Host Interfaces
	- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
	- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
	- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters

   o ATM Signalling Protocols
	- Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs)
	- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol (SVCs)
	- FORE Systems' proprietary SPANS signalling protocol (SVCs)

A copy of the HARP 2 beta software may be downloaded from:

After the beta, the following URL should be used to retrieve the current
version of HARP:

The HARP software was developed as part of MSCI's work on the 
DARPA-sponsored MAGIC Gigabit Testbed.  It is being developed to
provide a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
