MODEM VENDOR RECEIVES ACCOLADES FROM NATIONAL COMPUTER PUBLICATIONS 

ZyXEL's High Speed Modems Receive Awards From PC Magazine, Byte,
PC/Computing, PC Digest, Network World and Computer Shopper

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 28, 1993 -- In less than two years, Anaheim,
California-based ZyXEL has surged from a little known vendor of
sophisticated modems for specialized applications to one of the leading
suppliers of high-speed voice, fax and data modems and compatible
products.

As its modem's grow in popularity, the company has drawn the attention of
several of the computer industry's leading publications. In competitive
product comparisons and stand-alone reviews, editors and technical
directors have acknowledged ZyXEL' s superior performance for a variety of
telecommunication applications. In the past two months, ZyXEL has received
the following awards:

PC Magazine Editor's Choice Award, June 29, 1993 issue. PC Magazine tested
62 modems, and in the end they concluded, "for users who want fax in the
box, we recommend the ZyXEL U-1496 PLUS. Its feature set is impressive,
with everything from an LCD to support for caller ID.

Computer Shopper Top 10, July 1993 issue. Giving the ZyXEL U-1496E PLUS Top
10 status, Computer Shopper wrote "Some modems are good. Some modems are
fast. ZyXEL's modems are good and fast."

Byte Magazine Best Two-Way Communications Modems, Best Value for High Speed
Modems July, 1993 issue. Byte tested 69 high-speed modems and wrote "The
three ZyXEL modems we tested scored a three-way tie for best two-way
communications modems."

Additionally, Byte selected a ZyXEL modem as its best value for high speed
modems, stating "the ZyXEL U-1496E PLUS is less expensive than many of the
V.32bis modems, all of which it outperforms handily."

PC/Computing 200 June 1993 issue. Each year, the editors of PC/Computing
review thousands of computer products, and select the top 200. In
selecting ZyXEL's U-1496E, the editors noted the modem's caller ID,
callback security and digitized voice support.

Network World. For its May 10, 1993 issue, Network World commissioned
TeleChoice Inc., to conduct "a battery of synchronous and asynchronous
tests on some of the fastest modems on the market..." and concluded
"ZyXEL's U-1496E PLUS fared the best across the broad spectrum of lines."

ZyXEL High-Speed Modems

ZyXEL first entered the market with a high-speed data pump in 1990. This
breakthrough in modem technology was followed by the successful
introduction of a full-line of high-speed V.32bis modems in 1991. Since
that time, the company has continued to refine and enhance its product
line, resulting in a family of modem products that offer a compete array
of standard features at low prices.

Providing the latest in state-of-the-art telecommunications equipment is a
tradition at ZyXEL. Each product is backed by over six years of extensive
research by the firms's research and development team and the company is
able to manufacture some of the most advanced, high-technology
communications system and equipment.

Designed from the outset as a universal modem, the ZyXEL product line runs
in the DOS, Windows, Macintosh, UNIX and OS/2 environments, offers two-way
fax capabilities, and is fully compatible with a number of computer
platforms and terminals, a wide range of connectivity systems and all
existing standards.

ZyXEL's modems have been successfully integrated into total communication
networks at companies worldwide. The products' flexibility to address a
diversity of user requirements stems from the modems' ability to perform
in point-to-point, intra-company, on-demand file interchange,
telecommuting, PC-to-mainframe and other applications.

ZyXEL' s modems boast speeds of up to 19.2Kbps and are available through
selected dealer networks and direct to the end-user.
