SHIVA'S REMOTE ACCESS CLIENT TECHNOLOGY INCLUDED IN MICROSOFT INTERNET
EXPLORER

Open Client Programming Interface Enables Remote Access Capabilities for
Windows 3.x Applications

BEDFORD, MASS., April 30, 1996 -- Shiva Corp. today announced that its
remote access client technology will be included as part of Microsoft's
Internet Explorer browser for Windows 3.x (see Microsoft's Explorer
announcement today) providing high-performance remote access capabilities
f or Microsoft Internet Explorer users. This extends Shiva's existing
relationship with Microsoft and continues to deliver upon Shiva's strategy
to proliferate the market with its open client technology and API
(Application Programming Interface).

"Our 16-bit client implementation is a win-win situation for everyone,"
said Woody Benson, senior vice president, worldwide sales and marketing,
Shiva Corporation. "Not only does it extend the reach of our client
technology by providing Explorer users with the remote access
functionality they need, it also enables independent software vendors to
provide remote access capabilities for Windows 3.x applications."

Through Shiva's relationship with Microsoft, Shiva implemented a 16-bit
client API based on Microsoft's 32-bit Remote Access Services API.
Microsoft is using Shiva's client technology and API to enable remote
access capabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x.

Additionally, because the Shiva API is open it allows all independent
software vendors (ISVs) to tightly integrate dial-in access with
client/server applications and take advantage of any application's native
user interface to manage and set up connection parameters by the user.
This API has already been used by several vendors to provide remote access
functionality in applications used by millions of people worldwide.

Shiva's remote access client technology will be available with Microsoft
Internet Explorer for Windows 3.x, in May, 1996. Shiva client technology
is available immediately to OEMs and corporate application developers.
