GTE Selects Hummingbird's Family of PC X Servers For Enterprise-Wide
Integration of PCs and UNIX Computers

North York, Ontario, September 19, 1995 -- Hummingbird Communications Ltd.
(TSE: "HUM"; Nasdaq: "HUMCF") the technology and market leader in the
worldwide PC to UNIX integration software industry, today announces that
GTE Telephone Operations has selected Hummingbird's Exceed family of PC X
server software for the integration of personal computers and UNIX
client/server systems. Hummingbird Exceed PC X servers have been
established as a company standard throughout GTE's telephone operations.

To increase competitiveness and provide faster and more responsive customer
service, GTE recently began re-engineering its business systems from a
mainframe environment to a UNIX client/server model. GTE's strategic
decision to employ UNIX client/server computing spans a wide range of
operations including accounting, customer service, order processing, and
research and development. The implementation of Hummingbird's Exceed
family of PC X servers allows GTE to leverage and integrate its large
installed base of personal computers with enterprise UNIX computers,
enabling PC users to access GTE developed UNIX applications.

Harry Barker, Advisory Systems Engineer in GTE's Technology Specifications
group stated, "We needed a product that would provide reliable and high
performance PC-UNIX connectivity, and would enable our users to access
network-based client/server applications from standard MS-Windows and
DOS-based PC workstations. In search of the best product, we investigated
20 different PC X server products, and after further evaluation within the
GTE environment, we selected Hummingbird's Exceed family of PC X server
software. Our overall experience with Hummingbird products and technical
support has been extremely favorable, and the good vendor relationship
that developed will ease the transition from mainframe to UNIX
client/server computing."
