ATTACHMATE'S CROSSTALK WINS TOP HONORS IN MAGAZINE AWARDS

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- February 6, 1995 -- Attachmate Corporation's CrossTalk
for Windows recently received top honors as communications product of
choice for two leading technology publications. These honors validate the
selection of CrossTalk as the preferred communications software by more
than one hundred thousand customers.

CrossTalk for Windows 2.2 won Home Office Computing's Editors' Pick as the
best communications software available on the market (January 1995).

CrossTalk for Windows with CrossFax was named one of Windows Magazine's Top
100 Software Products (February 1995).

"We are particularly proud of CrossTalk," said Eric Alexandre, vice
president of open systems products for Attachmate, which acquired the
CrossTalk product line late last year in its merger with Digital
Communications Associates, Inc. "This award winning product has the
momentum to continue its leadership as the premier communications software
solution. Recognition like these awards emphasize Attachmate's commitment
to provide the best possible communications products."

CrossTalk for Windows 2.2 communications software provides preconfigured
scripts for easy access and navigation of many on-line services, including
the Internet. The full-featured communications package supports numerous
connections, asynchronous terminal emulation and file-transfer protocols.
The fully-functional CrossFax software, which is bundled with CrossTalk,
includes state-of-the-art Optical Character Recognition capabilities which
enables users to translate faxed documents into editable text that can be
used with any word processor. In addition CrossFax is the only fax
software on the market that provides 256-level gray scale send and receive
capabilities, giving the end-user the best quality fax possible.

The editors of Home Office Computing selected the product for its overall
usability, reliability and value in providing the best communication
software available for PC's. According to the editorial judging committee
of Home Office Computing, CrossTalk outperformed all other communications
software tested.

"CrossTalk is an excellent choice for anyone in the market for an all
inclusive modem communications software package," says Home Office
Computing Editor-in-Chief Bernadette Grey. "CrossTalk excelled beyond the
expectations of other communications software packages, thus deserving of
the recognition it gained as the single best communications software
available."

In its Best 100 Products citation, Windows Magazine stated that CrossFax
"packs every function you'll need to send, receive and manage fax
documents."

CrossTalk's most notable feature is its configurable QuickPads which let
users create customized toolbars that allow them to quickly execute
selected CrossTalk and on-line host commands. Continuing Attachmate's
strategic commitment to provide the widest array of communications
protocols available, CrossTalk now supports Zmodem, Ymodem, YmodemVG,
Ymodem hatch, Xmodem, Xmodem1K, Kermit, DART and CompuServe.

CrossTalk for Windows 2.2 with CrossFax is available now through
Attachmate's standard distribution network for a suggested retail price of
$195. Pricing outside North America depends on the local market.
