SunSoft and AGE Logic Announce Strategic Alliance

Partnership Provides New Solutions for Customers Needing PC-to-UNIX
Connectivity

Mountain View, CA, December 6, 1994 - SunSoft, Inc., a leading provider of
PC-to-enterprise networking software and AGE Logic Inc., a leading
developer of X Windows software, today announced that they have entered
into a long-term strategic alliance.

Under terms of the agreement, SunSoft will develop and market PC-to-UNIX
connectivity products based on AGE's advanced PC X server technology. In
return, AGE will leverage SunSoft's industry knowledge and technical
expertise grained from its large user base of Solaris customers, many of
whom are currently integrating heterogeneous PC LANs and UNIX networks.

According to Jim Billmaier, vice president and general manager of SunSoft's
Network Products Business, "Providing customers with a complete solution
for integrating their PC and enterprise networks is a top priority for
SunSoft. AGE's superior technology and industry experience will
significantly strengthen our product offering in this area. We look
forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."

Peter J. Shaw, president and CEO of AGE Logic and member of the X
Consortium's Board of Directors, echoes Billmaier's enthusiasm. "SunSoft's
commitment to delivering PC-to-UNIX solutions uniquely complements AGE's
strength in providing our technology partners with leading edge X window
and connectivity software for the PC. Equally important, SunSoft's
leadership position in the UNIX market will assist greatly in the
widespread adoption of PC X server software."

The first tangible result of the alliance is the SolarNet(r) PC-X product
from SunSoft, introduced today. SolarNet PC-X is an X server package that
allows MS Windows users to easily and transparently access
Solaris(r)/UNIX-based graphical and text applications.

SolarNet PC-X is the latest member of SunSoft's SolarNet family of PC
networking products, the most complete and powerful network solution for
integrating and administering PCs heterogeneous environments.
