ASANTI LOWERS PRICES ON POPULAR NETWORKING PRODUCTS

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 2, 1995 - In a continuing push to offer affordable
PC and Macintosh networking solutions for workgroup and departmental
customers, Asanti Technologies Inc. today announced it will lower prices
by up to 23 percent on selected 10BASE-T Ethernet products. Asanti said
products targeted for price reductions include its eight-port 10BASE-T
"Plug-and-Play" hub, the "EtherPaC 2000+T" PC adapter card, and the
"FriendlyNet" adapter.

"These 10BASE-T products have been selling very well and we expect even
more robust sales by the end of the year at the new price levels," said
Don Miller, vice president of sales at Asanti. "The price adjustments are
part of our overall strategy to offer workgroups a full range of
cost-effective networking options."

"Asanti is a leader in 10BASE-T Ethernet networking because it continues to
deliver the best solutions available for workgroups," said Paul Smith,
vice president of marketing. "With the new low pricing, Asanti is making
the performance, reliability, plug-and-play ease-of-use, and exceptional
support of these products very accessible to workgroup users."

The Plug-and-Play hub is part of Asanti's complete line of unmanaged
Ethernet workgroup hubs, representing about five percent of the total
worldwide market, according to industry analysts. Asanti was the
#1-selling 10BASE-T hub vendor on Merisel's May 15 "Hot List."

The 10T Hub/8 is one of four unmanaged Ethernet hubs offered in Asanti's
"Plug-and-Play" family. The hub is platform independent, connecting PCs,
Macs, workstations (including UNIX), network printers and other network
resources to an Ethernet network. Ideal for creating small networks or
extensions to existing networks, the 10T Hub is easily installed,
requiring no switches, jumpers or software. The hub's LED lights, which
monitor link status, traffic, power and collision activity, are
conveniently visible from both wall-mount and desktop positions for quick
and simple diagnostics.

Asanti's 10T Hub is fully compliant with the industry-standard IEEE 802.3
and supports a variety of popular network operating systems and protocols,
including Novell NetWare, Microsoft LAN Manager and NetBIOS. Other
products offered in the Plug-and-Play family include the 12-port and
24-port 10BASE-T hubs and a six-port 10Base2 BNC hub.

Asanti's EtherPaC 2000+T PC adapter card provides 10BASE-T Ethernet
connectivity for IBM and compatible personal computers. It is fully
compatible with the industry-standard Novell NE2000 drivers and supports
Novell NetWare Microsoft LAN Manager, NetBIOS (ISA and MCA only) and other
popular network operating systems and protocols.

FriendlyNet is used to connect any Mac, PC or printer with built-in
Ethernet support to an Ethernet network. The adapter's compact,
plug-and-play design makes installation a snap. It is simply plugged into
the device's AAUI Ethernet port and connected to the network cable.
