DAYNA SHIPS FIRST SINGLE-PORT BRIDGE TO ALLOW INEXPENSIVE CONNECTION OF
10BASE-T-ONLY DEVICES TO 100BASE-T LANS

SALT LAKE CITY, MAY 28, 1996 - Dayna Communications, Inc. began shipping
today the first single-port bridge to allow users to inexpensively connect
their 10BASE-T-only devices to Fast Ethernet LANs. The BlueStreak
FastEtherPrint 10/100, which has an estimated street price of $475, offers
users a simple and affordable connection to 100BASE-T Ethernet that
high-end, multiple-address bridges cannot supply.

Fast EtherPrint is based on the concept of Dayna's popular EtherPrint
product which changed the Ethernet industry in 1990 by allowing users to
inexpensively connect slower, LocalTalk printers to newly emerging 10 Mbps
Ethernet networks. Fast EtherPrint solves a similar problem common on
today's Fast Ethernet networks by providing users an affordable way to
connect printers and other 10BASE-T-only devices to 100BASE-T networks.

Using proprietary technology, Fast EtherPrint allows any 10BASE-T device,
independent of protocol, to be connected to a 100BASE-T workgroup or
network segment without a complex bridge or router. Fast EtherPrint is
perfect for users demanding inexpensive 100BASE-T connections for their
10BASE-T-only printers, or fixed 10 Mbit devices. It is also well suited
for mobile notebook users who need to connect to a 100BASE-T network.

"Fast EtherPrint is the easiest and least expensive way to connect 10 Mbit
devices to a Fast Ethernet network - its plug-and-play design facilitates
the connection of printers, network modems, network CD-ROM jukeboxes,
image processors, and other devices with fixed 10 Mbit connections to Fast
Ethernet," said William Kilmer, Manager of Product Marketing at Dayna.
"Fast EtherPrint provides users with an easy migration path from 10 Mbit
Ethernet to 100Mbit Ethernet. This has not been possible, until now,
without the use of an expensive, multi-port bridge or switching hub."

Fast EtherPrint offers users a compact design measuring just 4" x 3",
plug-and-play functionality requiring no software setup or hardware
configuration, protocol-independent bridging from 10 to 100 Mbit Ethernet,
an RJ-45 jack for both 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T connections, a reset switch
for easy re-powering, and diagnostic LEDs for link, transmit, and receive
for both 10 and 100 Mbit speeds. Fast EtherPrint 10/100 is available now
and ships with a full lifetime warranty.
