ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING SIMPLY LANTASTIC NETWORK WITH EXTERNAL ADAPTERS

Adapter Easily Plugs into PC or Laptop Parallel Port

(TUCSON, AZ - July 18, 1994) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that it has
begun shipping Simply LANtastic network starter kits and add-on kits with
new parallel port adapters. This Ethernet adapter gives users the added
flexibility of adding a laptop computer to their Simply LANtastic network.
Starter kits contain all the equipment needed to connect two computers on
a Simply LANtastic network and are priced at $349 per kit. Add-on kits
allow users to add a PC to their network and are priced at $179 per kit.

"The addition of an external solution for the Simply LANtastic network
increases the usability of what is regarded as one of the most intuitive,
easy-to-use network operating systems available today," commented Artisoft
Vice President of Sales and Support Joel A. Davis. "Users will no longer
have to open their computers to install a network adapter. They can just
attach this unit to the outside of their PC. Installation of the cable is
as fast and easy as plugging headphones into a stereo."

With this external adapter, laptop users can interoperate with other users
on a 10Mbps Simply LANtastic network. A pass-through printer port allows
simultaneous connection with a printer and a self-configuration feature
replaces the need for manually setting jumpers and switches.
Self-terminating input jacks help to ease installation.

The Simply LANtastic starter kit includes two parallel port adapters,
software for two users, one 25-foot RG174 cable with 3.5mm mono phono
plugs, two 12-inch parallel port extender cables, two AC adapters and
documentation. The Simply LANtastic add-on kit includes a parallel port
adapter, software for one user, one 25-foot RG174 cable with 3.5mm mono
phono plugs, one 12-inch parallel port extender cable, AC adapter and
documentation.

This parallel port adapter is the latest addition to the Simply LANtastic
network product line. Artisoft also currently offers Simply LANtastic
starter kits and add-on kits with software-configurable internal adapters.
Software-only kits are also available. Both internal and parallel port
adapters are FCC Class B approved for home use and can be used together on
the same network.

The Simply LANtastic network is an entry-level system ideal for small
office and home office users who need to share files, printers and
CD-ROMs. This network offers a simple interface for novice users and is
specially designed for very easy installation.
