|
The **GoupilNet** network, first french local network, is composed of two levels : a hardware level called OmniNet, and a software part called MS/NET, integrated into MS-DOS since version 3.1.
|
|
|
|
Both parts were created by Microsoft. However, S.M.T. developed a protocol for transfering information between various stations of an ISO network. Up to 64 stations can be connected at a maximum distance of 1200 meters, with a transfer rate of 1 megabits/second (125 000 bytes).

At one time, the Goupil G4 was considered as the fastest available IBM-PC compatible.\
|
|
The company went to Stock Markets and shares soared.\
|
|
False statement were issued (the company started loosing money but issed false invoices to report non-exisiting sales increase) and Goupil closed with a minor scandal.

The G4 computer represents the real entry of the S.M.T. Goupil company in the professional computers world. The time of the craft period with systems intended for a small circle of computers hobbyists and teachers is over. With the G4, the french manufacturer clearly affirms his will to quickly penetrate the companies and administrations market.
|
|
|
|
The future will show that this new positioning will be successfull, partly thanks to the qualities of the G4 : modern and fast microprocessor, full compatibility with IBM standard, but also thanks to a dynamic and coherent european marketing policy.
