ARTISOFT'S LANTASTIC SYSTEM WINS PC MAGAZINE'S EDITORS' CHOICE AWARD FOR
SMALL-BUSINESS NETWORKING

(TUCSON, AZ--May 16,1995)--Artisoft, Inc. announced today that its
LANtastic network operating system v6.0 has won PC Magazine's Editors'
Choice Award for Small-Business Networks. This review of the top
small-business networks appears in the May 30,1995 issue of PC Magazine,
and is based on criteria such as file and printer sharing; installation
and management; interoperability; and scalability. The LANtastic network
was chosen over Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups v3.11 and Performance
Technology's POWERLan v3.1.

In previous years, PC Magazine had reviewed top local area networks under
the category of peer-to-peer networking, but changed the category label
for 1995 to small-business networking. The LANtastic network was a
five-time winner of PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award under the
peer-to-peer networking category.

"Artisoft is extremely pleased that the LANtastic network has been named
for the sixth time as a PC Magazine Editors' Choice," said Artisoft Vice
President of Worldwide Marketing Bill Peterson. "This recognition
underscores the value of the LANtastic system as the ideal solution for
our selected target market of small and growing businesses," he added.

In its review PC Magazine stated, "Still leading after all these years:
Artisoft's LANtastic Network Operating System is easy to use and Version
6.0 delivers the most complete range of features among these three
packages ... as a purchase that will grow with you, LANtastic is the
excellent choice here."

The review also stated, "Artisoft's LANtastic is not only the most popular
and one of the fastest small-business networks, it also includes more
workgroup features and functionality than any other NOS."

The LANtastic network was cited by the magazine for good security features
for file sharing, easy installation, solid interoperability with other
network operating systems, the ability to scale natively with a 32-bit
server, and built-in support for a range of clients, including DOS,
Microsoft Windows, IBM's OS/2 and Macintosh. Pricing for the LANtastic
network starts at $119 (MSRP) for a single node.

"Given the broad range of operating systems supported by the LANtastic
network and the Artisoft scalable family of products, small business
customers can turn to Artisoft for satisfying their networking needs,"
Peterson said.

According to Link Resources, Artisoft is the fastest growing provider of
small business networks. In two other surveys, Artisoft was ranked as the
leader in 1994 peer-to-peer network shipments, claiming 39.4% of the
market in an International Data Corporation study and 40% in a Computer
Intelligence InfoCorp review.
