ACC ENHANCES ITS POPULAR AMAZON ISDN ROUTER ESPECIALLY FOR INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS

ACC extends options for ISPs with affordable, expandable point-to- point
solution

Santa Barbara, Calif. (May 6, 1996) -- Advanced Computer Communications,
Inc. (ACC), a leading provider of network access solutions for the home,
office, and enterprise, today introduced the Amazon Point of Presence
(POP) BRI router. Amazon POP BRI is specifically designed as a total
point-of-presence ISDN solution for Internet Service Providers. With its
scalable architecture, Amazon POP BRI gives ISPs maximum flexibility to
accommodate the dynamic requirements of their customers.

The Amazon POP BRI Starter Kit features the Amazon router, an Ethernet
10BaseT interface, and two dual Basic Rate Interfaces. It supports 802.1D
bridging, IP and IPX routing protocols, standards-based Multilink PPP,
Telnet, and SNMP network management. Amazon POP BRI is capable of
expanding both LAN and WAN connectivity that can be tailored to satisfy a
wide variety of network configurations using optional field- installable
interface modules. These interface cards include single, dual, and hex WAN
cards, and ISDN Basic Rate and Primary Rate cards. Users also have the
option of upgrading to Frame Relay or T1 for a wider selection of WAN
connectivity options.

A PRI bundle is also available for the most cost-efficient T1/E1 solution
on the market today. The Amazon POP PRI includes the Amazon router, an
Ethernet 10BaseT interface, and an ISDN Primary Rate Interface. Amazon POP
PRI supports all the other features of the Amazon POP BRI as well as
channelized T1/E1 capability.

"Amazon POP BRI was specifically designed with the needs of the Internet
Service Provider in mind," said Lisa Aviani, ACC's product marketing
manager. "It has the capability to interface beautifully in a multivendor
solution while providing fast, reliable Internet access to subscribers.
And the Amazon POP BRI's expandable architecture means ISPs can adapt the
system to fit their growing needs."

Free Upgrade Offers Important Enhancements

An upgrade will be available in the first half of 1996 for all Amazon POP
BRI users free of charge. The upgrade will include advanced Multilink
features in addition to Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS)
support and call accounting reporting.

Free Phone Support

ACC is extending a special offer for those interested in purchasing an
Amazon POP BRI . For a limited time, users can receive 90-days of customer
service phone support for free.

Optimizing WAN Bandwidth

ACC's exclusive Bandwidth Optimization features come standard on the Amazon
POP BRI. These features include Data Compression, Express QueuingTM, and
advanced dialing techniques. Data Compression reduces the amount of data
sent on WAN links by a factor of 4:1. This not only reduces WAN charges,
but in some cases eliminates the need to upgrade to faster, more expensive
LAN links. ACC's exclusive Express Queuing automatically allocates
available bandwidth to all active sessions, providing predictable network
response times to file transfers and interactive users alike. Dial-up
routing features, such as Dial on Demand, Dial on Congestion, and Dial
Backup, allow less expensive switched digital services to be used where
Leased Lines are not cost effective. These Bandwidth Optimization features
can be used on a variety of wide area services.

Availability

Amazon POP BRI is available for shipment now.
