TRANSPARENT DELIVERS HUMMINGBIRD'S NEW EXCEED FAMILY

Networking Distributor Stocks New Exceed Servers for Windows 95 and NT,
Windows Internetworking Suite for Reseller Channel Partners

CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Transparent Technology, Inc., (TTI), the leading
distributor for UNIX, transparent networking and Internet products, will
be among the first to offer the newly expanded Exceed 5 family of PC X
server products from Hummingbird Communications Ltd., (NASDAQ: HUMCF), of
Ontario, Canada. 

Available for shipment to the channel beginning this month, the enhanced
product line from the worldwide technology and market leader in the PC to
UNIX integration software industry now includes X server solutions for
Windows 95 and Windows NT as well as an internetworking software suite for
Windows. 

"The demand for this advanced technology has been so overwhelming, that
we've been backordering the new generation Exceed software for more than a
month," explained Garry S. Hipsher, president of TTI. "Resellers can be
truly excited about the new opportunities created with the Exceed S
family. And, upgrades are immediately available," added Hipsher. 

Heading the new offerings is Exceed 5 for Windows 95, a seamlessly
integrated native PC X server for the Windows 95 platform that enables
Windows 95 PCs to access and display applications from UNIX/X, VMS, Ultrix
and OSF/1 based computer systems. The X11R6 compliant server offers
support for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and includes the
Exceed/Xpress remote access technology which allows home-based PCs and
mobile workers to access UNIX/X applications from the field via standard
telephone lines. 

Exceed 5 for Windows 95 also includes a TN3270 emulator, Hummingbird's
EMail client and USENET News reader and advanced setup and remote
configuration facilities. 

TTI will also offer Hummingbird's newly revised Exceed 5 for Windows NT,
the latest version of the industry's leading PC X server for the NT
community. In addition to delivering like access and display capabilities
from UNIX/X, VMS, Ultrix and OSF/1 based systems to NT workstations -- as
well as remote access -- the 32-bit PC X server harnesses Windows NT's
multi-threaded architecture and now supports the X11R6 XIE image extension
for enhanced image handling. The first of the native Windows NT PC X
servers when it was introduced more than two years ago, Exceed 5 has since
been ported to the MIPS, Alpha and PowerPC platforms, allowing users to
harness the high performance of RISC microprocessors. 

Rounding out the new Exceed line now available from Transparent Technology,
Hummingbird has also introduced a complete internetworking desktop
solution which seamlessly integrates a PC X server, TCP/IP and NFS
technologies in one package. Known as Exceed 5 for Windows, the suite
makes it possible for PC users to easily access enterprise-wide
information systems and resources using either of two integrated TCP/IP
stacks based on 32-bit Virtual Device Drivers (VxD) -- Hummingbird TCP/IP
for Windows and Microsoft TCP/IP-32. Also included is Hummingbird's new
32-bit NFS client application which makes high-performance network file
and printer sharing possible. 

Hummingbird's complete family of Exceed PC X server software products is
now readily available to resellers through Transparent Technology.
