LANtastic was a peer-to-peer local area network (LAN) operating system for DOS, Microsoft Windows and OS/2. LANtastic supports Ethernet, ARCNET and Token Ring adapters as well as its own twisted-pair adapter at two Mbit/s.

Its multi-platform support allows a LANtastic client station to access any combination of Windows or DOS operating systems, and its interconnectivity allows sharing of files, printers, CD-ROMs and applications throughout an enterprise. LANtastic was especially popular before Windows 95 arrived with built-in networking and was nearly as popular as the market leader at the time, Novell.

LANtastic was originally developed by Artisoft Inc. in Tucson, Arizona. Artisoft was acquired by SpartaCom Technologies in 2000. SpartaCom (www.spartacom.com) is now Converging Technologies.

The current (2006) version is LANtastic 8.01. You can connect PCs running DOS 5.0 (or later) with Windows 3.x or higher (including Windows XP).
