          (TUCSON,  AZ -- February 21, 1992) -- Artisoft, Inc., the Tucson-
          based manufacturer of the  LANtastic Local Area Network,announced
          today an offer to convert users of any NetWare 2.2 network (up to
          300 users) to  the latest  version of the  LANtastic network  for
          only $499. 

          "LANtastic   v4.1's   performance,   features,    and   expansion
          capabilities are comparable to  NetWare 2.2 at a fraction  of the
          cost," commented Jack Schoof, Artisoft President and CEO. 

          NetWare 2.2 users should call 1-800-TINY RAM for more information
          about the offer and  to get the name  of the Artisoft  Authorized
          Five Star Dealer  nearest them. Artisoft's Five  Star dealers are
          equipped  to  demonstrate  LANtastic v4.1,  honor  the conversion
          price  of $499 upon proof  of NetWare 2.2  registration, and even
          install the  LANtastic network software if needed. This offer may
          be discontinued without notice.

          By  taking advantage of this  offer, NetWare 2.2  users will save
          $2000  off  the  regular  price  of  $2499  for  LANtastic/AI(tm)
          unlimited network  software which works with third-party adapters
          and supports  up to  300 users. LANtastic/AI  networking software
          includes hardware drivers for various adapters from the following
          manufacturers:   Western   Digital(r),   Standard   Microsystems,
          Thomas-Conrad(r),  Tandy(r),  Xircom(r),  3Com(r), Novell(r)  and
          compatibles,  and various other  adapters with NetBIOS-compatible
          drivers. 

          Novell(r) NetWare  users with  network adapters not  supported by
          Artisoft  also have  the  option of  purchasing LANtastic(r)  for
          NetWare(r)  software  at $499  per  network.  This software  adds

          networks,  allowing  individuals, corporate  workgroups  and even
          large departments to share programs, data, printers, hard drives,
          CD-ROMs and  other resources while maintaining  connection to the
          dedicated  NetWare server.  LANtastic(r) for  NetWare(r) software
          supports  up  to  300 users,  runs  on  top  of Novell's  NetBIOS
          emulation and requires Novell's NetBIOS to operate.
