ARTISOFT CERTIFIES NONSTOP NETWORKS' SERVER MIRRORING SOFTWARE TO BE
COMPATIBLE WITH LANTASTIC(R) LOCAL AREA NETWORK 

No* Stop Network(R) Version P3.0 Provides Level-Three Fault
Tolerance, Real-Time Backup 

(TUCSON, AZ -- June 15, 1993) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced today that
it has certified Nonstop Networks Limited's No* Stop Network version
P3.0 fault-tolerant software under the Artisoft(R) Compatibility
Certification Program. Using this software, server mirroring, the
process of duplicating all writes to a secondary server, can be
achieved on a LANtastic Local Area Network v5.0 running MS- DOS 3.3
or higher.

"We are glad to have compatible software products like No* Stop
Network software because they help our customers to build their
LANtastic networks with greater flexibility and support," commented
Dave Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "No*
Stop Network software is a valuable addition to a LANtastic network
because it provides level-three fault tolerance that gives users
real-time, immediate access to information on the network in case of
a problem with a server."

No* Stop Network software is a DOS utility that runs on every
workstation and protects against possible server failures, disk
medium failures and workstation-to-file- server connection failures
by mirroring file accesses on a primary server to a backup server or
multiple servers. This level-three fault tolerance ensures that all
network data is backed up instantaneously, and in the event of a
server failure, allows continuous processing on the backup server
without data loss.

The Artisoft Compatibility Certification Program establishes formal
standards to ensure third-party software and hardware product
compatibility with the LANtastic network. Those manufacturers who
join the program stand to reap such important benefits as increased
sales exposure and market penetration, front-line technical support
and added promotional support and materials. Products from software
and hardware manufacturers such as Borland, Microsoft, Intel,
Computer Associates, AMD, and Lotus have had their products certified
under this program.  

Nonstop Networks Limited develops and markets software products which
provide continuous backup, server mirroring and level-three fault
tolerance for the PC-based Local Area Network marketplace. The
company is privately owned and is headquartered in New York City,
with a research and technical facility in Utica, New York. For more
