Eten's grand ambitions

Article Abstract:

Eten Information System Co plans to use its dominant position in Taiwan's software industry and its experience with Chinese-language computer programs to gain the largest share of the nascent market for software in Asian languages. Eten views itself as Taiwan's equivalent of Microsoft Corp, and hopes eventually to become one of the world's biggest software developers. It has strong demand at present from domestic computer manufacturers who wish to bundle individual software with their microcromputers to achieve market visibility, and from computer users in East Asia who are seeking sophisticated software in their native languages. Eten has development agreements with such major software industry companies as Microsoft, Borland International Inc and Lotus Development Corp. The firm already has produced a Chinese edition of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet for the HP-95LX palmtop computer. The company has Chinese software sales agreements for China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. It is working on Korean-language software and a licensing deal for Japan.

Software sounds the alarm on cellular theft

Article Abstract:

GTE, Coral Systems and a Pacific Telesis and Electronic Data Systems team have each developed software that helps detect cellular telephone crime by learning legitimate customers' calling patterns and comparing them to potentially fraudulent traffic. The software is being used to stop the latest wave of cellular criminals, who purchase cloned phones preprogrammed with stolen serial and telephone number combinations. Unlike an earlier kind of cellular services fraud called tumbling, clone fraud cannot be detected by simply verifying these number combinations against the service provider's customer database. GTE has installed its Clone Detector software in SNET Cellular Inc's New Haven-area network, while Pacific Telesis and Electronic Data Systems have bolstered PacTel Cellular's network security with their Clone Guard system. Coral Systems' clone-detection package, which performed well in a Jun 1993 test, is called Fraud Buster.
