ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING LANTASTIC MANAGEMENT SERVICES SOFTWARE

(TUCSON, AZ - June 6, 1994) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that its
LANtastic Management Services software is now shipping. This software is
available in entry-level and high-end versions. The Basic version offers
tailored, easy-to-use management features for smaller networks and is
priced at $199. The Advanced version provides sophisticated capabilities
for users with more powerful needs and is priced at $799.

"This software is ideal for our users who are expanding their LANtastic
networks and need a management solution that gives them easy-to-use,
powerful features that will support the changing requirements of their
network," commented Artisoft Vice President of Sales & Support Joel A.
Davis.

"We are experiencing an increased demand for service and support for large
LANtastic network installations, along with the tools to manage these
growing networks. The LANtastic Management Services software is the ideal
solution for these customers," said Artisoft Authorized Five Star Reseller
Peter Bybee, President of Peter Built Computers, San Diego, Calif.

Basic Version

The Basic version provides administrators with a real-time monitoring
function that displays, at any given time, performance information about
the entire network including the level of network traffic. An easy-to-use
graphical interface with extensive zoom-in and zoom-out capabilities
allows administrators to view the entire network or focus in on one
particular node.

A node discovery feature provides administrators with detailed information
about each individual workstation and server on the network. The Basic
software also offers pre-set alarms that will automatically notify
administrators of specified operating problems, such as a workstation or
server going off-line.

Trouble tickets can be generated for each alarm event that occurs. Network
data concerning the event is recorded in a file that is logged by date and
time. The cause of the alarm and the actions taken against failure may
also be included in the trouble ticket record.

The software builds a database of activity while it monitors the network,
which includes detailed information about all aspects of the network.
Administrators can review the historical activity log, generate trouble
tickets or use the standard reports from this database to analyze their
network.

Advanced Version

The Advanced version takes all of the features included in the Basic
software and adds sophisticated capabilities that allow administrators to
customize the software to fit their individual requirements and more
effectively manage a larger, more powerful network.

Along with the node discovery feature, administrators will also have a
valuable inventory feature that details the contents of each computer it
discovers. Administrators can view information on more than 40 inventory
items, including the type of software installed; the sizes of the
conventional, extended and expanded memories; the size of the hard disk;
and the contents of various user-selectable files for each PC on the
network.

The Advanced version takes the basic alarm features and allows
administrators to customize their alarm conditions. With the powerful
scripting language, administrators can filter, forward and establish
threshold alarm criteria that will automatically define what devices to
monitor, who is to be notified and how they should be notified in the
event of a potential operating problem. As with the Basic version, trouble
tickets can be generated for each alarm event that occurs.

Another feature unique to the Advanced version allows administrators to
export data from their customized reports to external spreadsheets or word
processing applications that support Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) for
analysis or to prepare additional activity reports.
