     (TUCSON, AZ -- March 2, 1993) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced today that
     it will be offering LANtastic users a new kit that allows
     interconnectivity with other operating environments as well as
     providing an NDIS interface to the LANtastic NetBIOS. The NDIS Support
     for LANtastic Kit is scheduled to ship in March (concurrent with
     version 5.0 of the LANtastic network), and is priced at $199 per
     network. 

     {Multi-Protocol Stacking

     The NDIS Support for LANtastic Kit allows users to load or stack
     multiple protocols allowing transparent access across different
     computing platforms such as UNIX(R) (via NFS), NetWare(R) (using a
     separate IPX NDIS driver), IBM Mainframe and various other
     environments. These protocols can be loaded and accessed con-
     currently without interrupting the LANtastic network connection.

     that come with NDIS drivers to be compatible with the LANtastic/AI(TM)
     network -- the adapter-independent version of the LANtastic network
     operating system. The AI-NDIS driver included in the kit also links
     Artisoft's, as well as third-party, NDIS drivers with the LANtastic
     network's NetBIOS.
