GANDALF'S ISDN REMOTE ACCESS SOLUTIONS WIN TOP HONORS FROM PC MAGAZINE

Publication Names XpressStack, XpressConnect Solutions As "Editor's
Choice"

NEPEAN, ONT. -- MARCH 26, 1996 -- Gandalf Technologies Inc., a leading
provider of remote access solutions and a pioneer in ISDN technology, won
top honors in PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award (vol.15, no. 7).
Gandalf's XpressStack BRI remote-access server and XpressConnect 5242i
were named the best products of their kind for ISDN remote access.

These awards demonstrate Gandalf's commitment to provide its customers with
products that offer the highest throughput in the industry, simplicity of
installation and unrivaled flexibility and performance.

PC Magazine, a leading monthly publication that covers personal computing
technology, was impressed by Gandalf's remote access solutions because
they're easy to use, they scored highest in the performance testing and
they offer many convenient product features. The XpressStack and
XpressConnect combination beat out all competition in the magazine's File
Throughput Test, performing 50 percent faster than any other solution
tested.

XpressStack BRI was recognized by editors for the product's flexibility,
ease-of-use and dynamic bandwidth allocation capabilities. Gandalf's
XpressConnect 5242i was applauded for its ease-of-installation and
configuration, high quality voice support and speed.

"Gandalf has always maintained a strong commitment and investment in
innovative remote access solutions that exceed the specific requirements
of our customers," said Michael Chawner, vice president product
development and chief technology officer for Gandalf. "This most recent
recognition from PC Magazine is further evidence that we are definitely
succeeding in our strategic focus on market leadership."

Gandalf's XpressConnect 5242i is a high performance internetworking device
with integrated ISDN support, Gandalf's patented data compression
algorithm and optional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) interface for
connecting a phone, fax or answering machine. As part of Gandalf's overall
XpressConnect remote access offerings, the 5242i is targeted at the
teleworker or small remote office where transparent LAN access to
centralized resources is required.

Gandalf's XpressStack BRI provides a stackable, high-performance access and
concentration solution for teleworkers and remote offices over ISDN Basic
Rate and Primary Rate interfaces. Users of the XpressStack BRI include
service providers and employees of the branch office, regional office and
head office.

PC Magazine will be presenting these two awards to Gandalf at their booth
(# 644, North Hall) at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas on April 2, 1996.

Gandalf's vision is to provide people with access to information through
technology. Gandalf provides leading solutions in network infrastructure
by connecting remote locations to central resources and designing and
supplying high speed backbones for data, video and voice transmission.
These offerings provide customers significant strategic advantage in
today's competitive world.
