SONIC RELEASES FIRST OPEN TRANSPORT COMPATIBLE PPP CLIENT WITH APPLETALK
AND TCP/IP SUPPORT

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. - April 10, 1996 - Sonic Systems, Inc. today announced an
upgrade to SonicPPP, it's popular PPP client software for the Macintosh,
making it the first Open Transport compatible PPP client to support both
AppleTalk and TCP/IP.

SonicPPP allows Mac users to dial-in to a PPP remote access server, such as
Sonic's QuickStream/3, to access AppleTalk and TCP/IP network resources in
the same point-and-click manner they would when in the office and
connected directly to the network. AppleTalk file servers and printers can
be selected from the Chooser and other AppleTalk services such as E-mail
and databases can be used without learning new access methods. For
companies with direct connections to the Internet, all Ethernet based
TCP/IP services, such as Internet mail, World Wide Web, FTP and News
groups are also available to the remote user via SonicPPP.

"Open Transport is the new network operating system for the Macintosh, but
there is no PPP client currently available which allows AppleTalk and
TCP/IP," said Sudhakar Ravi, Sonic's Vice President of Engineering. Mr.
Ravi continued, "SonicPPP offers this functionality so that users don't
have to wait for Apple's long-delayed ARA 3.0."

SonicPPP, included with Sonic's QuickStream/3 Remote Access Server, is
available from Sonic's Web Site at http://www.sonicsys.com.
