FRONTIER TECHNOLOGIES LICENSES LYCOS INTERNET CATALOG SOFTWARE

MEQUON, WI --July 24, 1995--Frontier Technologies Corporation today
announced it has signed an agreement to license the Lycos Internet
Catalog. The Lycos Catalog will be incorporated into Frontier Technologies
new SuperHighway Access product, called SuperHighway Access CyberSearch,
which allows users to perform a Lycos search off-line via CD-ROM,
connecting to the Internet only once relevant Internet resources have been
identified.

The Lycos technology, widely acknowledged as the most extensive index
available for Internet information resources, was developed at Carnegie
Mellon University, and was recently transferred to Lycos, Inc., a
newly-created subsidiary of CMG Information Services, Inc. Lycos is a
software system which contains a robot that searches the World Wide Web
and catalogs the documents it finds. It also includes an information
search engine that helps users access information quickly and easily when
they type in key words or topics. The Lycos exploration robot locates new
and changed documents and builds abstracts, which consists of title,
headings, subheadings, 100 most significant words and the first 20 lines
of the document. The catalog is continually updated by the Lycos
exploration agent. Frontier Technologies will receive regular updates from
Lycos, Inc., allowing it to produce monthly issues of SuperHighway Access
CyberSearch.

It is now widely understood that one of the primary barriers to users'
productivity on the Internet is finding information, said Dennis Freeman,
Frontier Technologies' marketing director. That's why Internet search
services like Lycos are among the Internet's most popular sites. By
putting the Lycos catalog on a CD, users will be able to reliably and
quickly locate the Internet resources they need before they even connect
to the Net.

Lycos Inc. is pleased to partner with Frontier Technologies as they
contribute to our continued position as the most widely used and most
comprehensive catalog product on the Web said Bob Davis, CEO of Lycos,
Inc.

Frontier's efforts to provide Lycos users with alternative means of access
is another fine example of the expanding reach of our catalog of the
Internet.

SuperHighway Access CyberSearch, now shipping, consists of a 608-megabyte
subset of the Lycos catalog, indexing about half a million web pages,
integrated with Frontier's multi-session, multi-protocol Internet browser
software. The product is shipped on CD-ROM only, and is available through
Frontier's reseller channel. The CD will be updated monthly (bi-monthly
initially). Frontier Technologies is offering annual subscriptions at
$6.75 per month. Potential subscribers should call 1-800-879-0075
(+1-414-571-0190 outside the U.S.) or access Frontier's web server,
http://www.frontiertech.com for further information.
