IBM Credit Corporation and ENTEX Information Services Announce New Alliance
For Financing PC Technology Products and Services

Rye Brook, NY and Stamford, CT (January 25, 1996) -- ENTEX Information
Services, Inc. and IBM Credit Corporation today announced an alliance
enabling ENTEX to offer customers innovative financing solutions for their
information technology infrastructure.

This alliance, the first such relationship announced by IBM Credit, teams
up ENTEX, the largest PC systems integrator in the U.S., with IBM Credit,
a major U.S. financier of information technology, to provide comprehensive
financial services covering the total PC lifecycle.

"We are excited about this new alliance," said Robert F. Talbot, IBM Credit
Corporation general manager, remarketer financing. "We are poised to offer
a new level of services to help ENTEX respond to their customers'
requirements. This relationship further demonstrates IBM Credit's
commitment to the channel and to the value that companies like ENTEX bring
to the customer financing relationship."

The relationship further enables ENTEX to meet customers' needs for a
single-source supplier of information technology products, services and
financing, including IBM Credit offerings relating to buy-back,
disposition and unique fixed price-per-seat packages. The alliance will
also offer innovative technology upgrade programs.

According to ENTEX President John McKenna, "This represents the combination
of two best-of-breed organizations -- IBM Credit Corporation in financing
and ENTEX in desktop services. Our goal is to increase the value and
decrease the cost of technology for our customers. This partnership will
clearly let us achieve those goals."

ENTEX and IBM Credit are working together to offer customers innovative
financing solutions -- IBM Credit will dedicate financing professionals to
assist and train ENTEX representatives, utilizing computer-based training
tools with specialized financing modules, which will allow ENTEX
representatives to generate IBM Credit proposals and end-user leasing
contracts in-house and guide their customers through the leasing process
from start to finish. ENTEX will also utilize IBM Credit's Quick
Settlement Advance, and both organizations will participate in joint
marketing activities.

Fred Rubin, ENTEX vice president and treasurer, said, "Industry analysts
estimate that almost 40 percent of Fortune 1000 companies will lease their
desktop computer equipment and services this year. This partnership
represents a response to the fast-growing trend towards leasing desktop
technology. It will uniquely enable ENTEX to address customer demands for
equipment and services financing."
