ARTISOFT SHIPS LANTASTIC FOR OS/2 NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM
Fully Compatible with IBM's OS/2 Warp Operating System

(TUCSON, AZ - Oct. 31, 1994) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that its
LANtastic for OS/2 network operating system is now available through the
company's distribution and reseller channels. This 32-bit networking
system, announced earlier this month, is the first true worldwide OS/2
peer-to-peer network operating system on the market today. The LANtastic
for OS/2 network also offers compatibility with version 3.0 of IBM
Corporation's OS/2 Warp operating system. This new system was unveiled by
IBM earlier this month.

"We have received quite a positive response from resellers and end users to
our announcement of the LANtastic for OS/2 network," commented Artisoft
Vice President of Software Products Sunil Padiyar. "With IBM's OS/2 push
into the small business market, LANtastic for OS/2 is well-positioned to
provide an ideal networking solution for these users, who can turn to
Artisoft for not only excellent networking products, but award-winning
support and service as well."

"Our network is mainly DOS and Windows-based. LANtastic for OS/2 made the
transition to a new operating system extremely easy," said James
Ridgway, software engineer at Resinall Corporation in Hattiesburg, Miss.
"We have 20 users and they have all found this network to be very easy to
use; not one user has had a problem. The integration of LANtastic for OS/2
with our operating system was better than other networks I've used and the
installation is one of the easiest I've ever come across. I thought, It
can't work this easy!' But it did."

The LANtastic for OS/2 network allows LANtastic network users to easily
integrate OS/2 system machines into their existing DOS and Windows
networks. It also offers OS/2 workgroup users an easy way to add peer
features to their network while maintaining connectivity to the enterprise
LAN.

Training Seminars

As a part of its ongoing commitment to educating its resellers, Artisoft
recently launched a 21-city product training tour. These seminars will
provide Artisoft and Eagle Technology resellers with technical and sales
training on the LANtastic for OS/2 network and the CorStream dedicated
server. Attendees will also receive free LANtastic for OS/2 network and
CorStream server software valued at $888. These seminars will be offered
in cities throughout the U.S. until Nov. 10.

Advanced Connectivity

LANtastic for OS/2 network users can connect to Artisoft's LANtastic
network versions 5.0 and 6.0, the CorStream dedicated server, and the
Simply LANtastic network. In addition, users can connect to key servers on
such networks as IBM's LAN Server and Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups,
Windows NT, and LAN Manager systems. LANtastic for OS/2 network users will
also have the benefit of co existing with Novell's NetWare Requester for
OS/2 software and LAN Server network client software on the same machine,
allowing users to operate on multiple networks simultaneously.

Powerful Features

The LANtastic for OS/2 network operating system combines the award-winning
features of the LANtastic network operating system, including ease of
installation, use, and maintenance as well as low cost. Artisoft took
advantage of the native OS/2 Presentation Manager Graphical User Interface
(GUI) to provide LANtastic for OS/2 network users with an object-oriented
design that shields them from the intricacy of the network operating
system.

Pricing

The LANtastic for OS/2 network is available in one-, five-, 10-, 25-, 5-,
and 10-user software kits starting in price from $139 for a one-user kit
