ARTISOFT PRELOADING NEWEST RELEASE OF STATIONWARE APPLICATIONS ON CENTRAL
STATION CONNECTIVITY PROCESSOR 

StationWare 2.0 Printer Serving, Remote Dial-Up And Laptop Connectivity
Applications Now PreLoaded At No Extra Charge

(TUCSON, AZ--December 22, 1992)--Artisoft, Inc. announced today that it is
now preloading version 2.0 of its StationWare applications on the Central
Station connectivity processor. These applications, available for both
LANtastic and NetWare Ethernet networks, are included in the $595 price of
the Central Station connectivity processor.

The Central Station connectivity processor is a modem-sized multiport
hardware device that connects a variety of peripherals to a LANtastic or
NetWare Ethernet network and runs StationWare software to provide laptop
connectivity, remote dial-up and printer serving capabilities to network
users. Version 2.0 of the StationWare software is noted for its increased
printer serving performance and the inclusion of the newly released remote
dial-up capabilities for NetWare users.

"Artisoft is committed to bringing the greatest value to its customers and
resellers," stated Dave Hallmen, Artisoft Vice President of Sales &
Marketing. "That's why we are including our StationWare applications with
the purchase of a Central Station connectivity processor. Now, for under
$600, users can easily connect laptops to a network, both remotely and
locally, or set up convenient network printing locations without using a
PC."

The Central Station connectivity processor connects to LANtastic or NetWare
Ethernet networks running either thin coax or 10BASE-T cabling. Users can
quickly connect or disconnect a variety of peripherals to its PC interface
port, one parallel port or two serial ports without disrupting the
network. The Central Station connectivity processor comes preloaded with
three StationWare applications and 128K of onboard upgradeable RAM.

Printer Server StationWare software allows users to set up printers in
convenient locations, connecting them to a Central Station port instead of
a PC's expansion slot or printer port. This software supports up to three
printers--one parallel and two serial. Each serial port communicates at
speeds of up to 38.4 kilobits per-second and can be configured
individually for baud rate, type of parity and number of stop bits.

Dial-Up Connection StationWare software adds remote access capabilities to
the network through a modem attached to the Central Station connectivity
processor. Remote users can dial in to the network and use all network
resources like files, e-mail and other applications as if their PCs were
attached locally.

For customers who bought Central Station connectivity processors
previously, when StationWare applications were sold separately, Artisoft
is offering the option of buying StationWare 2.0 bundles for LANtastic or
NetWare networks for $99. Customers who purchased StationWare applications
separately may upgrade to version 2.0 for $50 for the complete LANtastic
or NetWare bundle. Finally, customers who purchased StationWare software
after November 4,1992 can get their software upgraded for free.

Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of innovative,
cost-effective network communication solutions including the LANtastic
Local Area Network.

Recognized as the leader in peer-to-peer networking for DOS and Windows
environments, the LANtastic network now offers multi-platform connectivity
