TWO LEADING X.400 VENDORS FORM ALLIANCE

Infonet Software Solutions Inc. and Enterprise Solutions Limited Sign Joint
Distribution Agreements

Westlake Village, CA; August 23, 1995--Enterprise Solutions Limited (ESL),
with headquarters in Westlake Village, California and Infonet Software
Solutions Inc. (Infonet Software), with headquarters in Burnaby, B.C.,
Canada announced today the signing of joint distribution agreements. Under
the terms of the agreements, ESL will resell Infonet Software Solutions'
Messenger 400, a high performance X.400 backbone Message Transfer Agent
(MTA); while Infonet Software Solutions will resell ESL's EXM Mail X.400
User Agents (UAs), X.500 Directory User Agents (DUAs), and EXM Mail add-on
products including EXM/Fax Server and EXM/Telex Server.

"Both companies already share a strategic focus on providing total
solutions," said Steve Hines, President of Infonet Software Solutions Inc.
"ESL's strength in X.400 User Agents and departmental systems, combined
with Infonet Software's high-performance MTAs and gateways allows us to
provide scaleable, standards-based solutions to address a wider range of
customer needs."

Karl Klessig, President of Enterprise Solutions Limited, echoed Mr. Hines
comments, stating "ESL is pleased to be able to offer corporate and
government customers the excellent, high performance capabilities of
Infonet Software Solutions' Messenger 400 MTA as part of the EXM Mail
messaging solution. Messenger 400 provides the advanced administrative and
routing functions needed by larger enterprises, and complements ESL's
existing Departmental MTA. Infonet Software Solutions also stands to gain
significant market advantage with the addition of EXM Mail and its wide
variety of User Agents, integrated message-enabled tools and applications,
providing the reliability, scalability and security of a total X.400
solution."

According to well-known industry analyst David Ferris, "It's a natural
marriage. ESL's User Agents stand out, while ISS has put a lot of effort
into producing strong infrastructure or backend components.
Everyone--customers and the two companies--benefits from this."

The alliance is expected to contribute significantly to the dramatic growth
of the native X.400 market worldwide. Native X.400 compliance of both the
client and server components of an X.400 messaging system significantly
reduces management and maintenance costs and efforts. An X.400 messaging
system also provides security and data integrity, allowing major
corporations and government agencies worldwide to use X.400 messaging to
reliably move information and run their business.

Enterprise Solutions has been offering a complete, enterprise-wide
messaging solution for moving information since 1991. EXM Mail consists of
X.400 User Agents with P7 protocol and Message Store, full X.500 Directory
Services, complete Mail Administra-tion, 1988 X.400 Message Transfer
Agents, and a family of mail-enabled add-on products for workflow and
productivity. An early adopter of ESL's X.400 and X.500 messaging products
was the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) in
Washington, which standardized on Enterprise Solutions' X.400 client
products for their mail system. ESL is supplying EXM Mail X.400 and X.500
products for the Defense Message System -GOSIP contract. Other major
customers include Wal*Mart Stores, McDonald's Corporation, the Bank of
France, the German Parliament, Bankers Automated Clearing Services (BACS),
the UK Ministry of Health, and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
