DIGITAL ANNOUNCES ENHANCED INTERNET ALPHASERVER SOFTWARE KIT

Everything in One Kit for Getting Real Business from the Internet

TORONTO, ON, CANADA (Internet World), January 10, 1995 -- Digital Equipment
Corporation today announced the Internet AlphaServer Software Kit for
Digital UNIX V.2. This enhancement of Digital's proven Internet
AlphaServer Software Kit brings customers everything they need to make
their site internet-application ready. Digital has consolidated, compiled,
tested and integrated all the software in the Kit for interoperability so
that users can save time and money when they set up and install their
system.

Improved features include graphical Internet AlphaServer administration
software scripts for quick installation and a graphical interface for
setup and management of Internet news groups. Digital's AlphaServer system
can handle thousands of Internet newsgroups on one server. The Kit also
includes tcpwrapper, an enhanced Internet security application that allows
users to turn off certain programs that expose systems to unsecured
Internet traffic, as well as a test to verify changes. The enhanced
Software Kit can now run in Digital's DECsafe Available Server Environment
(ASE), allowing users access to their web site even if a failure occurs.

"The Net is today's hot spot for doing business. No company can afford to
ignore the business implications of representation on the Internet. It's
the global vehicle for expanding users markets, taking offerings worldwide
and laying a strong foundation for future commerce," said Rose Ann
Giordano, vice president of Digital's Internet Business Group.

Unique among UNIX versions, the 64-bit Digital UNIX architecture can
support 1,000 simultaneous domain names, enabling Internet Service
Providers to host multiple customer sites on one server. The Internet
AlphaServer Software Kit runs in all models of Digital's powerful
AlphaServer family. The kit is also prepackaged on two new AlphaServer
systems including the 1000/266 and 400/233. The Internet AlphaServer kit
brings customers everything they need to make their site
Internet-application ready.

Giordano continued, "With the enhanced Internet AlphaServer Software Kit,
Digital has again assembled useful, feature-rich, robust versions of
popular public and supported Internet applications. The kit helps users
get their Web site up and running in time to obtain real results in
today's virtual marketplace. The continuous improvements to the Kit are
based on customer feedback, the transition of the Internet from pilot
systems to production systems and customers need for 64-bit Alpha
performance."

The new version of the software kit adds the following features and
functionality:

     o   Ease of installation and management--Scripts that easily
         guide the user through the installation process, saving
         time and getting servers up and running faster. Graphical
         scripts also facilitate management.

     o   Applications--all the applications needed to do business
         on the Internet including Mail, news, web serving, proxy
         caching for fast customer response, Netscape
         Communications' industry leading server software and more.

     o   Enhanced Internet security--provided with the inclusion of
         tcpwrapper. This program allows users to turn off programs
         such as remote login, file transfer (FTP), telnet, and mail
         which expose systems to unsecured Internet traffic.

     o   Scalability--From entry-level to full enterprise-wide
         production systems. Users can use the Internet kit on the
         Digital system that meets their current application needs,
         then expand as requirements increase.

     o   Worldwide service and support--service and support from
         over 450  locations in more than 100 countries worldwide to
         keep customers on the Net, continuously and cost-
         effectively.

     o   High availability--for Internet-accessed information
         repositories, hosting home pages, or use in electronic
         commerce.  The  optional DECsafe application functionality
         is particularly important to Internet sites with large
         populations and high availability needs.

     o   High performance--Digital's industry-leading 64-bit Alpha
         architecture and 64-bit UNIX operating system provide
