BEDFORD, MASS., May 1, 1996 -- Shiva Corp. today announced that its
LanRover/PLUS 4.0 with integrated ISDN has earned PC Week's Analyst's
Choice designation. LanRover/PLUS 4.0 was commended for its

Praised for its speed, intuitive administration console and solid
management utility, LanRover/PLUS 4.0 outperformed both Ascend's Max 200
Plus and Microcom's LANexpress 4000 as Analyst's Choice for remote access
products with ISDN capabilities. PC Week noted, "Providing packet-blasting
performance on our ISDN testbed, Shiva Corp.'s new LanRover/PLUS 4.0 ISDN
remote access server muscled aside two other newly released workgoup-level
remote communications servers to earn Analyst's Choice designation." The
Analyst's Choice designation signifies that PC Week's analysts believe
that the reviewed product is one of the best in its class and can be
recommended without reservation due to superior features and performance.
