U.S. ROBOTICS ANNOUNCES DSVD MODEM

Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data Over a Single Telephone Line Intel's
ProShare Premier Software Bundled with Modem

SKOKIE, Ill. -- April 24, 1995 -- The Personal Communications Division of
U.S. Robotics (NASDAQ:USRX) today announced the Sportster Vi 28.8 Faxmodem
with DSVD. The new product allows PC users to talk and share applications
simultaneously over a single analog telephone line.

The Sportster Vi 28.8 Faxmodem with DSVD is a true V.34 modem that
incorporates the new DSVD (digital simultaneous voice and data)
communications specification recently issued by a group of leading data
communications companies. Intel's ProShare Premier Edition Software, a
personal data conferencing application, is included with the modem.

The open DSVD standard ensures the interoperability of all V.34 modems
incorporating the specification. Because the specification is digital, the
type of information that can be exchanged is unlimited, including voice,
graphics, photographs and video. A digital solution also offers
scalability, advanced voice compression and the ability to add new modem
technology at a future date.

The first version of the Sportster DSVD modem is an internal PC model that
is flash ROM upgradable. The first product is expected to ship early
second calendar quarter of 1995 with a list price of $399. An external
model will follow? with price and shipping date to be determined.

"DSVD adds a new dimension to PC-based interactive communication," said
Michael Seedman, vice president and general manager of U.S. Robotics
Personal Communications Division. "The specification delivers on the
promise of collaborative computing over a single telephone line at a very
reasonable price."

"The DSVD standard delivers a wide range of interactive capabilities to PC
users, from desktop conferencing applications to interactive gaming,"
Seedman added.

The companies issuing the open DSVD specification are Intel, Creative Labs,
Hayes, Rockwell and U.S. Robotics. Communications products incorporating
the DSVD standard are expected to be introduced by many of these companies
during 1995.
