ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING LANTASTIC POWER SUITE

Suite Integrates LANtastic Network and Communications Software from Lotus,
Cheyenne Communications and NETCOM

(TUCSON, AZ -- June 12, 1995) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced today that it is
now shipping the LANtastic Power Suite, an integrated software package
that combines an advanced LANtastic network operating system with leading
communications software. The six-product suite offers a complete
networking and communications solution for small and growing businesses.
It includes the LANtastic network, Lotus cc:Mail communications software,
Lotus Organizer networked group scheduler and personal information manager
(PIM), Cheyenne Communications BitWare fax and modem communications
software, Cheyenne Communications BitShare modem-sharing and pooling
software, and NETCOM NetCruiser Internet access software. The LANtastic
Power Suite starts at $199 (MSRP) for a one-user software-only kit.

"The LANtastic Power Suite is a natural extension to our award- winning
LANtastic network, enabling users to share not only files, printers and
CD-ROMs, but electronic mail, faxes and modems," said Artisoft Vice
President of Worldwide Marketing Bill Peterson. "The LANtastic Power Suite
integrates powerful networking and communication capabilities previously
available only in large corporate environments. This product continues the
LANtastic network tradition of ease-of-use and reliability, and delivers
it in a terrific value proposition," he added.

LANTASTIC NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

Artisoft's LANtastic network operating system has been improved with
several new features, including a Workstation Cache which accesses data
across the network and temporarily stores it on a user's PC, resulting in
immediate access to the data. This feature can improve network performance
when there are repetitive file reads.

Also new to the LANtastic network is Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Network
Printer Support. This allows print jobs to be sent to Hewlett- Packard
printers with a JetDirect device installed or to printers connected to an
HP JetDirect EX external unit. The benefits of this feature are twofold:
printers can be placed in locations that are convenient for the user, and
print speed is significantly increased.

Printer pooling has been added to the LANtastic system as well. With this
feature, a print job is sent to the next available printer in the pool ,
resulting in productivity gains for the user.

The advanced LANtastic network also includes PowerSync file synchronization
for Windows, which updates single files or entire directories between two
computers based on the most recent modification date and time. This
provides PowerSync users an easy way to get the latest version of
documents or other files.

In addition to these improvements, the LANtastic network also provides
advanced security, universal client technology for compatibility with a
variety of platforms, and network management capabilities to monitor
network activity and tune network performance in almost any
configuration.
