Dart Communications Announces PowerTCP OLE Controls for Microsoft Visual
Basic 4.0

The PowerTCP Toolkit with OLE Controls provides users of Microsoft Visual
Basic 4.0 the ability to use Dart's Industrial TCP/IP Libraries to
Generate TCP/IP Network Applications.

Cazenovia, New York - September 12, 1995 -Dart Communications today
announced plans to ship PowerTCP OLE Custom Control Toolkits on October 1,
1995. The new toolkits allow developers to quickly incorporate TCP/IP
functionality into any application. TCP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP3, SNMP,
TFTP, UDP and a VT220 emulator are included in Standard and Specialty
Toolkits. PowerTCP takes full advantage of OLE Custom Control
functionality which is featured in many Microsoft Development platforms
including Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 and other Microsoft Office
Development Products.

"We expect Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 to ride the wave that developers
jumped on with Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0. Our VBX Toolkit is very
popular, and with OLE Custom Controls supported by Visual Basic 4.0, we
know our OLE Controls will be a complete solution for users of Microsoft
development products." says Michael Baldwin, President of Dart
Communications. "With Dart's controls, application developers will see
shortened development times when building TCP/IP applications. PowerTCP
provides a Quick-to-Market solution for our customers."

Dart's development staff re-engineered the application interface of their
current VBX to take advantage of the power offered by the OLE technology.
A combination of "methods' and 'properties' now exist where only
"properties' existed in the VBX. The new design incorporates years of
customer feedback and was designed with the application programmer in
mind.

"PowerTCP, along with our flexible licensing program, offers our customers
unmatched licensing and development options.", says Allison Smith, Sales
Manager at Dart. "We have positioned our products and licenses to service
small business needs as well as large corporations and software
development companies that need fixed-fee licensing. The PowerTCP OLE
Controls provides our customers with even more development options."

PowerTCP OLE Controls will be available October 1, 1995. The PowerTCP
Standard Toolkit with OLE Controls (TCP, Telnet, FTP, SMTP, POP3, VT220)
and the PowerTCP Specialty Toolkit with OLE Controls (UDP, SNMP, TFTP)
will sell for $598 each. Several runtime licensing options are available.

Dart Communications specializes in developing toolkits for the TCP/IP
network programming environment. Any questions should be directed towards
