PACIFIC INTERNET'S NEW WEBCUBE SERIES P INTERNET SERVER DELIVERS COMPLETE
PLUG-AND-PLAY SOLUTION FOR ISPs

JUST RELEASED MODEL OF POPULAR PENTIUM-BASED, OPEN ARCHITECTURE, TURNKEY
SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS

January 25, 1996 -- CULVER CITY, Calif.-Pacific Internet -- a year-old
supplier of on-line products and services -- is now delivering the WebCube
(Web3) Series P Internet server, the most complete and economical
Pentium-based solution available for use by Internet Service Providers
(ISPs). 

Starting at an introductory price of less than $8,000 for a complete ISP
system, the WebCube (Web3) Series P begins volume shipments this month
from the company's Los Angeles-area headquarters to a waiting list of ISPs
located throughout North America. International sales and distribution is
scheduled to begin later this quarter. 

Following on the heels of the successful launch of the WebCube (Web3)
Series W turnkey World Wide Web (WWW) server systems last year as the
first all-in-one, low cost solution to Web publishing, the WebCube (Web3)
Series P enables users to easily and economically establish a complete ISP
system without having to purchase additional hardware or software from
third parties. 

"The WebCube Series P is every startup ISP's dream machine and a boon to
existing ISPs looking to expand," claims Gary S. Hipsher, founder of
Pacific Internet. "There is no simpler or more economical medhod for
building an ISP system and Web server that can service hundreds of PPP
accounts," he explained. "Pacific Internet has been involved in intense R
& D for nearly 18 months and has taken the pulse of literally hundreds of
existing and potential Internet service providers to determine their
technical needs," Hipsher added. 

With the release of the WebCube (Web3) Series P for ISPs, Pacific Internet
has removed the mystery and the technical trial-and-error process of
establishing an Internet provider business -allowing users to set-up
complete functional servers in less than 24 hours and to focus on building
their customer base rather than painfully debugging PPP, the company
stated. 

Pacific Internet's WebCube (Web3) Series P server line is comprised of a
cube-shaped system box that encompasses an open architecture, Intel
Pentium-driven, UNIX-like operating system-based solution complete with
all of the hardware and software necessary to establish or expand an ISP
operation -- including 32 high-speed serial ports, a user-friendly
graphical user interface, system accounting and BBS software and a
built-in router (with CSU/DSU), that supports either T1, fractional T1, 56
KB or frame relay connections. 

The ISP as Entrepreneur

Geared towards helping the ISP turn a profit, the WebCube's system
accounting software reports the correct time and disk usage for each user
account, while the built-in BBS software enables simplified on-line
dial-up registration of new users. Both features are in keeping with
Pacific Internet's assessment of the needs of entrepreneurs entering the
lucrative and rapidly growing Internet service arena -- where budgetary
considerations and limited UNIX engineering expertise play key roles in
determining a provider's ability to compete. 

Also included in all WebCube (Web3) Series P models are such leading
Internet applications and utilities as: TCP/IP, PPP/SLIP and WCP as well
as Mail, FTP, News, Telnet, Web, Gopher and WAIS server software. 

Fully equipped, the WebCube (Web3) Series P's Model P1000 ISP server system
lists for an introductory price of $7,995. The P1000 operates on a 100 Mhz
Pentium CPU and includes as standard equipment: 32 MB of RAM (expandable
to 128 MB), high-speed 2 GB SCSI disk and tape drives, internal 4X CD-ROM
(also SCSI), 32-bit PCI Ethernet, SVGA video, built-in router and CSU/DSU
as well as 32 high-speed serial ports. 

In addition, Pacific Internet now provides high-speed backbone service to
WebCube purchasers, through a nationwide agreement with Sprint (Sprint
Communications Company). 

"With all of these benefits, it would be a grave error to establish an ISP
or Web serve, system without first taking a close look at the WebCube,"
concluded Pacific Internet's Hipsher. 

The Expanding WebCube Family

Pacific Internet's WebCube (Web3) cube-shaped server line now encompasses
two complete Internet solution variations -- Web publishing via the Series
W; plug-and-play ISP systems designated as the Series P -- includes
industry-standard Web server software and comes with leading Internet
utilities, (including TCP/IP, E-Mail, FTP, Gopher and news services), as
standard software features in addition to pre-configured UNIX Internet
software. All WebCube (Web3) models also include keyboard, monitor, mouse
and manuals. 

In addition to being a complete plug-and-play solution, the WebCube (Web3)
is based on industry standard modular Pentium and UNIX-like architectures
allowing for easy and affordable upgrading of RAM, disk space and network
bandwidth as the user's needs grow.
