ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS COMPLETES GLOBAL MESSAGING DEAL WITH BT

Client-Based EXM Mail Complements Global Network, Providing Worldwide High
Grade, Secure Dial-Up Access for Electronic Mail and Other Services

January 9, 1996 - Following the recent announcement at the Geneva Telecom
show, where BT launched their new global X.400 based messaging service,
Enterprise Solutions Limited (ESL) is pleased to announce the signing of
an agreement between BT (Worldwide) Ltd., and Enterprise Solutions UK
Limited, for the provision of ESL's EXM Mail client-based software for
dial-up users. Under the terms of the deal, BT will provide electronic
mail-based services complying with the open standard X.400 specification
using a customized version of ESL's industry-proven client package.

Users will be able to dial into BT public access points using modems or via
an X.25 packet switched network to utilize store and forward electronic
mail services. Client hardware can include PCs running MS-DOS, Windows
3.1, Windows 95, Unix or Apple Macintosh. BT will offer the EXM RUA
(Remote User Agent) which provides the messaging front end to interface
with the X.400 Message Store which forms a part of the BT service. The EXM
Mail package includes an integrated MAPI capability which enables users to
interface EXM to applications such as word processing, database, forms and
spreadsheet tools.

Offering a one-stop shop, the deal provides end users asynchronous access
meeting the OSI X.445 APS (Asynchronous Protocol Specification), over
networks which maintain internationally-established grades of service. The
system is highly secure against hackers, and interfaces with a rapidly
growing mix of public X.400 service providers operating under the same
performance mandate. To support the needs of the international community,
the EXM Mail client package is available in English, French, German and
Spanish. Other languages are to be introduced in the forthcoming months.

In addition to electronic mail, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is
supported by the ESL EXM Mail application, enabling guaranteed secure
transactions to be made between organizations across the BT and other
X.400 systems.

The deal, which comes into force immediately, is expected to be promoted by
BT and its partners in Europe and the UK; IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT BT AND
ITS PARTNERS WILL EXTEND THE SERVICE TO THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION, AND TO
THE AMERICAS.

More and more corporate organizations are turning to OSI (Open Systems
Interconnect) X.400 services, which allow messages to be assigned three
grades of priority by the sender, urgent, normal or low. BT provides a
managed service which includes delivery and receipt notifications.

The X.445 APS (Asynchronous Protocol Specification) was originally
developed by ESL when they were awarded the contract by the APS Alliance,
a group of software manufacturers and service providers, to produce the
reference implementation of APS. This implementation is the benchmark
against which all other APS applications must comply, ensuring conformance
between systems for dial-in clients to public and private networks.
