Artisoft Now Shipping INSYNC CoSession Remote v7.0

(TUCSON, AZ-April 3, 1996)-Artisoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASFT) announced today
that it is now shipping INSYNC CoSession Remote v7.0 software for fast,
crossplatform remote control and file transfer. Part of the recently
launched INSYNC remote communications product line, CoSession Remote
allows a PC user to remotely access and control a second PC, as if sitting
at the PC using its keyboard and mouse and viewing its screen. The
software empowers a wide variety of users, including mobile workers,
telecommuters, Internet users, end-user support providers, and network
administrators. CoSession Remote is available through retail stores,
Artisoft distribution channels, and value-added reseller partners. A two
PC version of the software is $79 MSRP. 

"CoSession Remote provides industry-leading functionality, with better
performance than other remote control products, and at an unprecedented
retail price." said David J. Saphier, general manager of Artisoft's Remote
Communications Product Group. "Compared to competing products priced at
50% more and higher, we believe CoSession Remote offers businesses the
best value overall." 

With more than 4.5 million copies in use to date, CoSession Remote is the
most widely used remote control software. CoSession Remote is the OEM
product of choice for leading PC manufacturers, including IBM Corporation
and Zenith Data Systems.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

CoSession Remote includes many enhancements over its predecessor, CoSession
for Windows v2.0, in performance, flexibility, ease of use and power. 

Performance 

In industry-standard WinTach performance tests, CoSession Remote
transferred files and accessed data at nearly twice the rate of its
closest competitors. 

When CoSession Remote updates existing files on a destination PC, its
Intelligent Transfer sends only those parts of the file that have changed,
rather than updating the entire file. This greatly reduces transfer times,
especially for large files that have few changes between versions, such as
a typical database file. 

Power 

File synchronization and cloning have been added to provide greater
flexibility for handling file management tasks between two PCs. Both
features ensure that selected directories on a viewer PC and a connected
host PC contain the same versions of all files with a simple click of the
mouse. Files can be transferred from one PC to another with drag-and-drop
ease. This is especially useful for telecommuters and mobile professionals
who need to keep files on a laptop PC in sync with a desktop PC. 

A new simultaneous remote control and file transfer feature allows users to
perform remote control functions while the system is busy performing file
transfers in the background. 

The software also increases incoming call flexibility via multi-protocol
wait-for-call, which allows multiple users of different protocols to
access their host PC. This is a useful advantage for businesses that need
a dedicated PC for both internal staff and remote workers to access from
their desktop or laptop computers. 

Flexibility 

CoSession Remote's cross-platform compatibility gives users the flexibility
to connect to distant PCs on many different platforms, including
Microsoft's Windows 95, Windows 3.x and DOS, as well as across Novell's
NetWare, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS and NetBEUI networks. The new version also has
the capability to make Winsock connections for TCP/IP networks, including
the Internet. 

Ease of use 

The new CoSession Remote contains a Windows-based host and viewer software
that eliminates the need for a DOS TSR for Windows connections, adding
convenience for Windows users and greatly improving the remote Windows
connections. 

AVAILABILITY AND PRICING 

CoSession remote is available in a two PC version with host and viewer at
$79 MSRP and a 10 PC version with host or viewer. Upgrades are also
available in two PC versions for host and viewer at $39.95 MSRP.
