With the participation of other leading Internet companies such as PSINet

The Farallon Education Internet Challenge Grant Program will provide five

"Our mission is to mainstream the Internet," said Alan Lefkof, president
and CEO of Farallon. "The first step is to educate our children and that's
why this grant is so important."

"PSINet has been committed to bringing the Internet to educational
institutions since our early days with the New York State Education and
Research Network," said Bruce Ley, vice president of marketing, corporate
services for PSINet. "We are pleased to participate in the Education
Internet Challenge Grant, the latest in a series of special programs
developed exclusively for schools and colleges."

Education Grant Offer

Farallon and its partners will offer a valuable reward to schools with
innovative ideas on Internet education. The $7,500 grant each winner will
receive includes:

* Farallon's Netopia Internet Router enables a school to gain high- speed
Internet access over a shared high-speed ISDN (128K) line. Designed with
the broadest set of on-board connections and maximum ease of use, one
Netopia easily connects an entire school to the Internet.

* Farallon's Up & Running, Guaranteed support program eliminates the
hassles of gaining Internet access. Farallon will set up service with the
school's phone company and Internet service provider (ISP), and remotely
configure the router to get the entire school network on the Internet.

* Twenty-five licenses of key Internet connectivity and exploration
software including TCP/IP, Eudora Lite email, and the Netscape Navigator
web browser.

* PSINet's LAN-ISDN service for one year. Schools will receive a Class C
(255 addresses) Internet license and full 2 B Channel (128K) ISDN support
from the world's leading Internet service provider.

* A license pack for twenty-five users of SurfWatch, a tool to restrict
student access to undesirable or sexually explicit sites on the Internet.
The software blocks more than 5,000 sites and the password protected
on/off switch provides the ability to allow or prevent access.

Application Requirements and Selection Process

All interested teachers should submit proposals on behalf of their schools.
The proposal should detail how the school plans to incorporate the
Internet into the class curriculum for the 1996-97 academic year. An
ongoing commitment to using the Internet for teaching and learning will be
a key facet of successful proposals. Creativity of ideas, and the
appropriateness of ideas to the level of students being taught, will be
more important than the quantity of ideas proposed. Interested teachers
should contact Farallon at (510) 814-5000 to request an application or can
download it from Farallon's Fax Center at (510) 814-5040. Teachers need to
submit applications to Farallon by May 15, 1996 in order to qualify for
the grant, with winning applicants notified by May 31, 1996.
