OFFERS RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE CONNECTION TO ETHERNET LANS

MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, JANUARY 9, 1996 - Asante Technologies, a
leading provider of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networking products, today
introduced the MacCon CS card and FriendlyNet PC Card, two new network
adapters for Macintosh and PowerBook users who need a flexible, low-cost
Ethernet LAN connection. At list prices starting at $89 and $189
respectively, Asante's new adapter cards are the lowest-priced cards of
their kind on the market today.

Both the MacCon CS card and FriendlyNet PC Card is on display this week for
the first time at Macworld Expo San Francisco, January 9- 12. Asante is
located at booth #1035 in the South Hall of the Moscone Center.

The Asante MacCon CS card is an Ethernet add-on card for Apple Macintosh
computers with a communications slot, including the popular Performa and
LC series, Power PC 5200 and 6200 series and the Quadra 630. The MacCon CS
card offers plug-and-play installation, uses standard drivers and comes
bundled with diagnostic software for easy troubleshooting making it ready
to use right out of the box. The MacCon CS card is available in two
versions to support either 10BASE-T or 10BASE-2 media. The street price

is $83. The MacCon CS card is a low- cost solution for network
administrators who need to provide users with an Ethernet LAN connection
while utilizing their PDS slot for other enhancements.

The Asante FriendlyNet PC Card utilizes the PCMCIA slot in Apple's new
PowerPC-based PowerBook 5300 and 190 series computers. The slim, modular
design of Asante's Type II PC Card allows customers to fit two Type II PC
Cards into a single slot at the same time.

single 10BASE-T port at a street price of $157. While the second version
offers both 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 ports at a street price of $191. The
