announced an alliance with EarthLink Network, Inc. to include SurfWatch,
parental control software, in a comprehensive Internet solution package
being offered by Graphix Zone for the Internet access provider.

In addition to SurfWatch, every copy of EarthLink Network's ExpressNet

acclaimed Internet Web browser; free Internet account set-up plus seven
days of free use from EarthLink Network; an interactive Internet Coach
Netscape tutorial by APTE; VocalTec's Internet Phone, which lets users

"SurfWatch makes it easy for parents to proactively control what their kids
have access to, and it does so without restricting the fundamental
freedoms the net was built on," said Sky Dayton, CEO of EarthLink Network,
Inc.

"EarthLink Network's ExpressNet Suite is ideally suited for families and
new Internet users, who are SurfWatch's prime customers," said Ann Duvall,
president of SurfWatch Software. "ExpressNet Suite is an easy, affordable
way to take advantage of all the educational and entertainment advantages
of the Internet, and SurfWatch will help parents let their children have a
positive Internet experience."

SurfWatch lets parents, teachers and employers block unwanted sexually
explicit and other material from their computers' Internet access-without
restricting the access rights of other Internet users. The SurfWatch
software removes no material from the Internet or any server, but simply
blocks it at any computer or local network where it is installed.
SurfWatch screens Internet newsgroups, World Wide Web, FTP, Gopher, Chat
and other services.

EarthLink Network is one of the largest national "pure Internet" access
providers in North America. It provides local 28.8kb Internet access and
business Internet services from more than 250 points of presence (POPs) in
the U.S. and Canada-with more cities being added weekly. In less than two
years, the company has grown from two employees to more than 325.
EarthLink Network's Total Access was recently rated "A" by The Net
magazine.
