BELLEVUE, WASH. -- Attachmate - The Intranet Company - and Banyan Systems,
Incorporated, the leader in enterprise network services today announced
their plans to jointly sell and market Remote LAN Node (RLN) to the entire
Banyan user community as Banyan's premier remote access solution. This

Banyan will offer their customers the industry's most innovative and
successful remote access product for VINES and StreetTalk environments.
RLN is an enterprise remote access software product that provides Banyan
users with the capability to access their network remotely utilizing DOS,

Banyan customers will have the benefit of a complete network extension
allowing them to run applications, send or receive e-mail messages, use
network printers, access host systems, access the Internet and perform
other tasks as if located in the office. Banyan customers also benefit
from the unique open design of RLN allowing them to extend all networked
applications and services to remote users over whatever medium they choose
-- including modems, ISDN (Basic Rate and Primary Rate), X.25 managed
service, CDPD cellular, switched 56Kbps, or any combination.

According to David C. Mahoney, Banyan's CEO and president, "With remote
access so vital to the enterprise and Internet environment, it is
important to provide a leading-edge solution to our customers. RLN
satisfies this criteria, and includes the added benefit of Attachmate's
industry leading connectivity expertise and a commitment to provide a
solution that is tightly integrated into the Banyan environment."

As part of this agreement Attachmate will integrate Banyan's StreetTalk
directory services with their RLN software to provide the Banyan user
community with a transparent remote access solution. "Banyan recognizes
the importance of enabling its customers with remote access to their
enterprise information," stated Jim Lindner, president and CEO of
Attachmate. "By opening up StreetTalk, Banyan's industry leading directory
technology, and providing tight integration with RLN, Banyan and
Attachmate will provide many new benefits to the entire Banyan user
community. We are very pleased with the potential of this new agreement,"
added Lindner.

Under this new agreement, the Banyan and Attachmate direct sales forces
will work together to jointly promote RLN to Banyan's customers. Orders
