MULTI-TECH Cuts Prices of Serial Board and Gateways

MOUNDS VIEW, Minn., February 12,1993--Multi-Tech Systems, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of data communications equipment, announced today a price
reduction for its 8-port Intelligent Serial Interface (ISI) cards and
related MultiComAsyncGateway products. The price of the ISI508U and
ISI508M boards is now $599 compared to the previous $999. Multi-Tech's
AGI08 MultiComAsyncGateway2 data/fax communications server, which uses an
ISI card, now costs $2095 compared to a previous $2495 price.

According to Multi-Tech President Raghu Sharma, "Today's price reductions
are a reflection of our aggressive posture in the LAN/WAN market. As the
complete supplier of remote access products we can offer the economics of
one-vendor shopping. From the WAN side we supply MultiModemII modems and
MultiMux statistical multiplexers that provide the newest in technologies,
and from the LAN side our MultiComAsyncGatewa2s provide complete solutions
for data and fax communications. We then add the extra ingredient,
communications software, to make it all work together. Our MultiExpress
data communications and MultiExpressFax communications server software
turns single-function async data gateways into data/fax servers."

The AGI08 MultiComAsyncGateway2 is an 8-port data/fax communications server
that operates up to 57.6K bps per port and includes an ISI508 card. It can
be expanded to a maximum of 32 ports using 4 ISI508Ms. The ISI508M is an
8-port Intelligent Serial Interface (ISI) with port capable of 57.6K bps
communications. It includes an 8-port "octopus" cable, Windows drivers and
MultiExpress communications software. The ISI508U is the UNIX version of
the 8-port ISI and is bundled with drivers for SCO UNIX and Xenix and
SUN's Interactive UNIX.
