SANTA CLARA, CA, APRIL 4, 1996 -- With the debut of NTRIGUE on the Web,
Insignia Solutions (Nasdaq: INSGY) is now offering corporate evaluators an
opportunity to test drive NTRIGUE, its Windows NT-based application server
solution, over the Internet. Corporate evaluators can simply access
Insignia's web page (www.insignia.com), download the NTRIGUE client and
connect to the NTRIGUE on the Web server to test drive the product in real
time. The NTRIGUE client can be downloaded in just a few minutes, so users
can be up-and-running right away. NTRIGUE on the Web gives corporate
evaluators looking for a Windows application server solution an
opportunity to try the NTRIGUE solution remotely, at their convenience,
with no need to configure a special server in-house.

NTRIGUE

NTRIGUE is a high-performance Windows NT-based application server that
delivers Windows 95, Windows 3.x and Windows NT applications to all X
terminals, UNIX workstations, Power Macintosh and Macintosh computers and
PCs. Desktop-neutral, NTRIGUE offers users a cost-effective way to deliver
consistent Windows applications to all enterprise desktops and acts as a
management tool to enable MIS departments to centrally manage corporate
desktop applications.

EASY ACCESS

NTRIGUE on the Web allows corporate evaluators, resellers and other
interested parties to test drive NTRIGUE at their own site. One click on
the Insignia "NTRIGUE Interactive Web Demo" icon takes them to the NTRIGUE
server, which features a variety of popular applications. Insignia has
also set up a Microsoft Exchange server to demonstrate how the NTRIGUE
server can be used to deploy Exchange on corporate intranets with UNIX,
Mac and PC desktops.

NTRIGUE ON THE WEB ILLUSTRATES LATEST INTERNET COMPUTING TRENDS

Computing on intranets and the Internet is still in its infancy, but there
are two major trends impacting applications. The first is the
implementation of a portable, secure language like Java in which the user
must download each applet and run the applet on his/her local machine. The
second involves the use of a thin client to handle display and
input/output to connect to a remote server where the actual applications
are run. NTRIGUE on the Web illustrates this second trend as it allows
users to access remote applications on a private intranet or over the
Internet. It complements the first trend by providing a way to access
larger, more complex applications for which downloading is not an option.

NTRIGUE SERVER SIMPLIFIES APPLICATION DEMONSTRATIONS

NTRIGUE on the Web allows users to evaluate NTRIGUE quickly and easily.
There is no need for an in-house server. After a simple download of the
NTRIGUE client, users are ready to go; subsequent connections to any
NTRIGUE server on the Web require just one intuitive click on a Web page.
Running Windows programs on NTRIGUE on the Web eliminates the need to
redesign programs to run in a new Web programming language while retaining
portability and performance across disparate machines.

In addition, the NTRIGUE on the Web shows other vendors how they can
demonstrate their own applications without having to create special demo
versions and without having to download large application executables.

HOW IT WORKS

Installed with several popular applications, NTRIGUE has been set up with
extra security to act as a public server, and Insignia's Web page has been
augmented to load a helper application. NTRIGUE on the Web currently
supports the ICA client from Citrix Systems, Inc. Insignia intends to
release Macintosh and UNIX clients in the future. For intranet
applications, end-users can access NTRIGUE via X11, which is readily
available on all platforms now.

While the PC market is moving towards NT and application developers
continue to migrate to Windows and Windows NT as their primary or sole
development platform, UNIX and Macintosh customers remain loyal. As a
result, heterogeneous computing environments are likely to remain the rule
rather than the exception.

"NTRIGUE is ideal for customers looking to maximize Windows access for
users in their heterogeneous enterprises," said Robert P. Lee, Insignia
Solutions' president and CEO. "NTRIGUE on the Web makes it easy for
customers to try NTRIGUE for themselves, without the need for a back-end
server. This will enable virtually anyone to evaluate the product almost
instantly. The concept of an application server on the Web is relatively
new. Citrix was the first company to do it, and we plan to augment their
technology with universal access for Mac and UNIX clients on both
corporate intranets and the Internet."

OPEN SOLUTION

NTRIGUE's display interface is based on the X Window system standard, an
open solution for distributed graphics display, so it works with any
desktop that is X11R5 or X11R6 compliant. NTRIGUE supports both the X
Window protocol for fast LAN access for intranets, and the ICA protocol
for low-bandwidth connections over telephone lines, ISDN and the
Internet.

UNPARALLELED COLOR SUPPORT

NTRIGUE takes full advantage of the X desktop and supports a full spectrum
of colors with the highest resolution. From 16 to 256 colors, up to 16
million colors and down to monochrome, NTRIGUE provides unparalleled
compatibility. NTRIGUE provides full support for applications such as
Photoshop, which cannot run in operating environments that do not support
at least 256 colors.
