ARTISOFT BEGINS SHIPPING LANTASTIC NODERUNNER 2000/C ADD-ON KITS WITH
SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER

Limited-Time Offer On Single & 6-Pack Kits

(TUCSON, AZ - February 15, 1993) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that it
has started shipping its LANtastic NodeRunner 2000/C add-on kit with
"LANtastic On Board"- the first of four new add-on kits in the LANtastic
NodeRunner 2000 series. The 2000/C add-on kit is being offered at a
special introductory price of $259, down from the new list price of $279.
Multi-packs of six LANtastic NodeRunner 2000/C add-on kits are specially
priced at $1,499, reducing the average cost per node to approximately
$249. The 2000/C is also available in a multi-pack of 12 nodes for the
suggested retail price of $2,899, reducing the average cost per node to
$241.

The LANtastic NodeRunner add-on kits incorporate the new ALICE controller,
a completely software-configurable Ethernet Integrated Circuit designed
and developed by Artisoft.

The 2000/C has a BNC connection for thin coax cable and includes a one-user
LANtastic network license.

"We have developed these new add-on kits with the needs of our customers
and resellers in mind," said Dave Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of
Sales & Marketing. "Because they also use the ALICE controller, they are
completely software-configurable for easy, one-step installation into a
LANtastic network."

The ALICE controller is one of the smallest Ethernet Integrated Circuits
(ICs) on the market, measuring less than one square inch, and is the only
IC to support both ISA and MicroChannel bus architectures. In addition, it
is software-compatible with these major industry-standard Ethernet
designs: Artisoft's AE-series of adapters and Novell's NE1000, NE2000 and
NE/2 adapters.

The LANtastic NodeRunner 2000 series add-on kits include a one-user
LANtastic network license for each of the models: the 2000/C, 2000/T,
2000/A and 2000M/TC. Each of these models contain 16-bit Ethernet adapters
in 100% compliance with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. They come with
32K onboard buffer RAM and autosense between 8- and 16-bit slots.

The 2000/T model has an RJ-45 connection for 10BASE-T, unshielded twisted
pair cable and can be connected internally to an Artisoft Peer Hub
10BASE-T internal concentrator or used with standard 10BASE-T hubs from
other vendors. The 2000/T model is scheduled to ship at the end of this
month and is also included in the special introductory offer of $259 each,
with 6-node multi-packs specially priced at $1,499. The 2000/T will also
be available in a multi-pack of 12 nodes for $2,899.

The 2000/A model has AUI, BNC and RJ-45 connections for use with thick and
thin coax and unshielded twisted pair cable respectively. It is user
upgradable to 64K RAM and can also be connected internally to a Peer Hub
10BASE-T concentrator. The 2000/A has a suggested retail price of $329.
The 2000M/TC model is made for MicroChannel systems and includes both BNC
and RJ-45 connections for use with coax and unshielded twisted pair cable.
It has a suggested retail price of $379.

The 2000/A and 2000M/TC models in the LANtastic NodeRunner 2000 series
add-on kits are scheduled to ship later this quarter.

This introductory pricing on the LANtastic NodeRunner 2000/C and 2000/T
add-on kits is for a limited time and is subject to discontinuation
without notice.

The LANtastic NodeRunner add-on kits are also the first Artisoft products
to embody the LANtastic On Board concept - products, from Artisoft and
other manufacturers, that are easily installed because they are
network-ready to operate on LANtastic networks. LANtastic On Board
products are easily identified by the LANtastic On Board logo, a yellow
diamond, on their packaging.
