FTP SOFTWARE'S UNIX, NT-BASED WEB-SERVER SOFTWARE TO JOIN TRANSPARENT
TECHNOLOGY'S INTERNET PRODUCTS LINE

Networking/Internet Distributor Builds On FTP/Open Market Pact; Boosts
World Wide Web Offerings

CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Transparent Technology, Inc. (TTI) -- the leading
distributor for the UNIX, transparent networking and Internet product
markets and a long-time distributor of FTP Software's products -- will add
three newly branded World Wide Web servers and related software to its
growing line of Internet-specific products.

Building on the recent FTP Software Inc./Open Market Inc. joint development
and marketing agreement, TTI will be among the first in the distribution
channel to offer FTP's UNIX and Windows NT-based WebServer, Secure
WebServer, Secure Global WebServer and WebReporter products. Previously,
Open Market had only marketed the Web-oriented product line via on-line
distribution -- through the Internet itself.

FTP's three newly branded WebServers are browser-independent server
products designed to support the entire spectrum of Web browsers in use
today while setting new marks for transaction rates, connection capacity,
access control, information logging and extensibility. According to FTP,
both versions support more than 1,000 simultaneous connections -- several
times the capacity of any other existing servers. WebReporter, is a
sophisticated Web-site reporting facility.

The FTP Web servers will continue to support the full-spectrum of open
operating systems -- including Sun Solaris, SunOS, Digital Alpha OSF/1 and
BSD/386.

"These new additions to our product family greatly strengthen our Internet
distribution strategy, " noted Garry S. Hipsher, president of Transparent
Technology. "The WebServers have been engineered from the ground up, and
provide significant performance improvements over the NCSA, Cern and
Netscape solutions, " Hipsher said.

Transparent Technology will be distributing the newly-branded Web-servers
as software-only, according to TTI's Hipsher, and pre-configured on
respective hardware platforms. In additions, no-charge trials are
available for downloading off the Internet.

Transparent Technology already handles FTP's family of software products
-including Explore for Windows, the company's popular suite of Internet
access applications and OnNet for Windows, FTP's PC-based TCP/IP
networking solution for enterprise and workgroup users.

The three new FTP WebServer products and WebReporter will be available for
the first time to resellers -- through Transparent Technology -- by the
end of September.
