ARTISOFT NAMES ROBIN BALSDON AS DIRECTOR OF INTERNATIONAL SALES 

(TUCSON, AZ -- June 14, 1993) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced 
today that Robin Balsdon, former Managing Director of Artisoft
Australia, has been named Director of International Sales and will
oversee the continuing development of Artisoft's presence in some of
the world's major local area network markets. Balsdon recently
relocated from Australia to Artisoft's Corporate Headquarters in
Tucson, Arizona to fill this position.

"This position was created to strengthen Artisoft's service and
support in the international marketplace," Balsdon commented. "My
focus will be to broaden Artisoft's presence in Japan, Australia and
South America, as well as to develop sales in emerging markets such
as China, Africa, the Pacific Rim and various republics of the former
USSR."          

"We are pleased to have Robin supervising these international sales
efforts," said Artisoft's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Dave
Hallmen. "His extensive expertise in engineering, sales and
management will be a great asset." 

Balsdon has been employed by Artisoft since March of last year, when
he was hired to start up Artisoft's branch office in Syndey,
Australia. During this period, Balsdon and his staff of five
employees more than doubled the office's annual sales. Prior to
joining Artisoft, Balsdon was employed by Epson for five years and
held positions as marketing manager and sales manager for the
Australia and New Zealand regions. 

Artisoft's commitment to its international users and resellers also
includes maintaining branch offices in The Netherlands, the United
Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada, and distributing
the LANtastic(R) local area network and its other connectivity
products in over 70 countries worldwide.

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 WindowsTM  environments, the LANtastic
network also offers multiplatform connectivity solutions for
NetWare(R), TCP/IP and Macintosh(R) systems. It allows up to 500
users on one network to connect and share information and peripheral
devices such as printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs.
