OSITECH FIRST TO SHIP V.34 28.8 MULTIFUNCTION PC CARD

Jack of Diamonds Ethernet Data/Fax Modem Combo Card Also Features New
Cellular Protocol For Faster Throughput

GUELPH, ONTARIO -- Ositech Communications Inc. is shipping the V.34 Jack of
Diamonds multifunction PC card, featuring a high performance Ethernet
network adapter and a V.34 28.8 cellular data/fax modem combined onto a
single Type II PC card.

V.34 28.8/14.4 Data/Fax Modem Power

The new high-speed version promises to slash the cost of updating files,
sending E-mail, using V.34 on-line services and performing other tasks
common to road warriors.

Hassle-Free Cellular Communications

For cellular communications, the card now supports the new MNP 10EC, an
enhanced cellular protocol that maximizes data throughput while providing
improved transmission reliability. The new protocol combines
cellular-specific signal-processing technology from Rockwell
Telecommunications with an enhanced error correction protocol to overcome
many of the signal distortions that have interfered with
data-over-cellular transmissions in the past.

The Jack of Diamonds is the only multifunction PC card that offers a
low-cost cellular upgrade package ($99 US) that provides Direct Connect
capabilities to many popular cellular phones, including Motorola,
Mitsubishi and AT&T. This eliminates the need to purchase acoustic
couplers or intermediate hardware boxes to achieve cellular data or fax
connections while on the road. Ositech has incorporated this hardware into
the PC card--making it, in effect, the world's only triple function PC
card. Users can now simply and directly connect to the data port of
cellular phones with just one cable.

In addition, Ositech's "intelligent cellular media detection" enables
cellular users to avoid a step required by every other manufacturer of
cellular interfaces: the need to enter a special cellular initialization
string of 15-30 cryptic symbols each time the phone is used. With the Jack
of Diamonds, this cryptic string needs to be entered only once. After
that, the Jack of Diamonds will detect a standard or cellular connection
and delete or insert the appropriate string AUTOMATICALLY. MIS managers
can set up the user with the appropriate initial string and send them away
knowing the Jack of Diamonds will transparently configure itself for the
proper environment.

Drivers For All Environments

The Jack of Diamonds offers the industry's most comprehensive driver
support for multifunction PC cards. It now ships with DOS, Windows,
Windows NT, Unix and OS/2 drivers and can be used with ALL Card and Socket
Services. This means that users who attempt to use the Jack of Diamonds
with other PC cards in a notebook will not encounter the technical
problems common when two cards operate with different Card and Socket
Services. As a result, if a user is committed to certain other PC cards,
the Jack of Diamonds can accommodate to the environment.

High Performance Ethernet Network Interface

The Ethernet network interface provided supports two configurations: direct
cable connection for 10baseT only or use of a separate Media Access Unit
for both 10baseT or 10base2. Intelligent Media Detection automatically
senses the wiring being used and configures the card for the connected
wiring. Network operating systems supported include Netware by Novell, Lan
Manager by Microsoft, Lan Server by IBM, Banyan Vines and others.

Warranty, Support, Compatibility, Pricing

The Jack of Diamonds comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, a full
five-year warranty, access to a 24-hour BBS and comprehensive free
technical support and service using Ositech's toll-free hotline. It is
compatible with all computers incorporating the PCMCIA standard and
slots.

The V.34 Jack of Diamonds is available either with a 14.4 kbps Modem at a
suggested retail price of $499 or with a 28.8kbps Modem at a suggested
retail price of $749.
