       ESOFT ANNOUNCES HIGH SPEED SUPPORT FOR HAYES 28,800 MODEMS


Aurora, CO, November 29, 1993 - eSoft announced today that it is making
available a free update to its TBBS bulletin board system software to
support Hayes' new V.FC based Optima 288 modem product. The update,
which adds support for 57,600 bps and 115,200 bps interface rates,
allows TBBS based bulletin boards to provide the high data transfer
rates possible with the new modems.

"TBBS is the only product in existence which can run up to 64 of these
modems on a single computer," said Phil Becker, eSoft's president. "Not
UNIX, not OS/2, not any other BBS product can support more than a few of
these modems on a single machine without serious performance reduction.
TBBS can support up to 64 of them, all with less than 10% degradation in
performance, and all on a single DOS-based PC."

eSoft worked closely with Hayes, who uses TBBS for their customer
support and demonstration BBS, on testing the new modems. "The transfer
rates possible with the new Hayes Optima 288 modems are incredible - as
much as double the throughput possible with previous modems."

eSoft is the oldest producer of commercial BBS software. Its TBBS
product runs up to 64 high speed lines on a single DOS-based PC without
the need for LANs or multitaskers. TBBS has been available for over 12
years, and currently has a 25% share of the BBS software market.
