ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES TWO NEW EXTERNAL HUBS FOR 10BASE-T NETWORKS
Compatible With Multiple Networking Environments

(TUCSON, AZ - May 17, 1993) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today two new
concentrators for use in any 10BASE-T network installation. The two models
include the T-Runner 800/TC, an eight-port concentrator priced at $449,
and the T-Runner 1200/TC, a twelve-port concentrator priced at $749. These
external, IEEE-compliant concentrators (which are scheduled to begin
shipping later this summer) are compatible with a variety of networking
environments - from Artisoft's LANtastic Local Area Network to third-party
networking environments such as Novell's NetWare.

"We are providing these hubs to meet the growing demand for 10BASE-T
products from our reseller channel," said Artisoft's Chairman and CEO,
Jack Schoof. "The T-Runner hubs complement our complete line of networking
products and will help Artisoft to provide a total hardware and software
solution to both resellers and endusers."

The T-Runner 800/TC and 1200/TC models contain a BNC connector that allows
concentrators to be linked to one another via thin coax cable. In
addition, the BNC connector allows for the mixing of cable types. For
example, the T-Runner concentrators enable users on a 10BASE-T segment to
connect and communicate with users on a coax segment. The T-Runner 800/TC
and 1200/TC concentrators also include an auto partitioning feature that
automatically disables ports that do not have link integrity.

These T-Runner concentrators are in addition to Artisoft's Peer-Hub
internal concentrator. The Peer-Hub concentrator resides in a host PC, XI,
AT or EISA computer (ISA mode only) and has five external 10BASE-T ports.

Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of innovative,
cost-effective network communication solutions including the award-winning
LANtastic Local Area Network. Recognized as the leader in peer-to-peer
networking for DOS and Windows environments, the LANtastic network also
offers multiplatform connectivity solutions for NetWare, TCP/IP and
Macintosh systems. It allows up to 500 users on one network to connect and
