CISCO AND NETSCAPE SIGN SOFTWARE LICENSING AGREEMENT

SIMPLIFIED INTERNET SOFTWARE SOLUTION IDEAL FOR NETWARE USERS

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 16, 1996 - Offering the millions of network PC
users an easy way to connect to the Internet, Cisco Systems, Inc. today
announced a licensing agreement with Netscape Communications Corp. to
bundle Netscape Navigator' client software with Cisco's recently acquired
Internet Junction Internet gateway software. Together, Cisco and Netscape
are providing Novell NetWare users with a complete solution for simplified
connection to Internet resources such as the World Wide Web.

The newly combined software package connects NetWare PCs to the native
language of the Internet, TCP/IP, without requiring network managers to
install complex TCP/IP networking software on every PC. The bundle
simplifies and centralizes the management of Internet connections and
preserves Windows NT, Novell NetWare, and UNIX network investments by
isolating sensitive business information on mission-critical network
servers. Netscape Navigator also adds advanced Internet security features
based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) open protocol.

"Our new software bundle will give Novell NetWare network managers an
easily applied and installed Internet access solution for their current
network," said Ed Kozel, general manager of Cisco's Internet Business
Unit. "The Netscape Navigator client provides an easy-to- use access point
for entering the Internet over Cisco's gateway software. Users will be
able to explore online information worldwide and confidently conduct
business," added Kozel.

"This agreement with Cisco brings the ease of use and advanced features of
Netscape Navigator to NetWare users looking for a complete Internet
solution," said Mike Homer, vice president of marketing at Netscape.
"Together, we are making it easy for organizations to provide users with
point-and-click access to the wealth of information and resources
available on Intranets enterprise networks and the Internet."

The new Internet Junction/Netscape Navigator software bundle is available
immediately through both direct and two-tier distribution channels.
Enterprise customers can purchase the new bundle directly from Cisco
starting at $595 for a five user license by calling Cisco Systems at (800)
553-6387. CiscoPro Internet Junction software is also bundled with
Netscape Navigator software and can be purchased through CiscoPro VARs.
CiscoPro products are sold to businesses, institutions and individuals for
use in branch offices, medium- and small-sized businesses and professional
home offices. These markets are predicted to grow from $2.5 billion in
1995 to $7.2 billion in 1999, according to In-Stat, Inc.
