          {Remote Dial-Up  And Printer Server Features  For LANtastic(R) And

          (TUCSON, AZ. -- June  17, 1992) -- Artisoft announced  today that
          for  a limited time it will bundle its Printer Server and Dial-Up
          Connection StationWare software applications, valued at $99 each,
          at no charge with the Central Station connectivity processor. The
          Central  Station connectivity  processor,  priced at  $595, is  a
          modem-sized  multiport  hardware  device  that  uses  StationWare
          software to provide laptop connectivity, remote dial-up and print
          serving capabilities to LANtastic or NetWare Ethernet 
          networks. 

          The  Central Station/StationWare bundle  is available immediately
          for both  LANtastic and  NetWare networks. The  LANtastic Central
          Station/StationWare  bundle  comes  with  all  three  StationWare
          applications  -- laptop  connectivity,  remote dial-up  and print
          serving.  The  NetWare Central  Station/StationWare  bundle comes
          with StationWare  for laptop  connectivity and print  serving, as
          well  as a coupon for free  remote dial-up software which will be
          released later this summer. 

          {"Artisoft is  committed  to bringing  the greatest  value to  its
          {customers  and  dealers,"}  stated  Dave  Hallmen,  Artisoft  Vice
          President  of  Sales  &  Marketing.  "Now  users  can  take  full
          advantage  of  the  current   features  of  the  Central  Station
          connectivity  processor -- notebook connectivity, printer serving
          and remote-dial up -- all in one convenient package."

          The  Central  Station  connectivity  processor  allows  users  to
          quickly  connect/disconnect  a  variety  of  peripherals  such as
          laptops, notebooks, printers and modems to a LANtastic or NetWare
          network without  disrupting the network. It  connects to Ethernet
          networks  running  either  thin  coax  or  10BASE-T  cabling  and
          features a PC interface port, one parallel port, two serial ports
          and an optional  SCSI port  as well as  128K onboard  upgradeable
          RAM.

          The  Printer  Server  StationWare  software  adds  print  serving
          capabilities to  the Central  Station  connectivity processor  so
          that  users can set  up printers in  convenient locations without
          using a single expansion slot or a PC printer port. This software
          can support  up to three printers -- one parallel and two serial.
          Each serial port  can be  configured for a  different baud  rate,
          type of  parity and  number of  stop bits.  The serial  ports can
          communicate at speeds up to 38.4 kilobits per second.

          The LANtastic Dial-Up Connection StationWare software adds remote
          access  capabilities  to  a  LANtastic network  through  a  modem
          attached to  the Central Station  connectivity processor.  Remote
          users can dial in to the LANtastic network and log in to servers,
          use e-mail,  print to  network printers  and  share and  transfer
          files just as if they were attached locally. All the features  of
          the LANtastic Network Operating  System will be available  to the
          remote computer, and it  can communicate with any other PC in the
          network.

          This  Central Station/StationWare  bundle  offer is  limited-time
          offer and is subject to discontinuation without notice. Users who
          purchased the Dial-Up  Connection and Printer Server  StationWare
          applications after  May 1, 1992 should  contact Artisoft Customer
          Service at 602-293-6363 for reimbursement information.
