Xylogics Signs OEM Agreement with Major Hub Vendor; Becomes Remote Access
Supplier of Choice for Top Three Intelegent Hub Vendors

Xylogics teams with Chipcom to provide remote access solution

BURLINGTON, MA--SEPTEMBER 11, 1995 -- Xylogics, Inc., (NASDAQ:XLGX) the
leading provider of universal remote access solutions, today announced it
has expanded its reach in the hub market by partnering with Chipcom
Corporation to provide cost-effective, integrated remote access for
customers purchasing Chipcom's ONline? System Concentrator and ONcorer
Switching System. With this technology agreement, Xylogics now supplies
the remote access capabilities for the top three providers of intelligent
hubs worldwide.

According to IDC, Bay Networks, Cabletron and Chipcom shipped a combined
46% of worldwide Ethernet and Token Ring LAN hub ports in 1994.
Partnerships with these three leading hub vendors, as well as with Optical
Data Systems and a number of computer networking manufacturers, establish
Xylogics as the remote access leader within the OEM partner channel. As
partners, Xylogics and Chipcom have developed the Chipcom Communications
Server Modules for Chipcom's intelligent switching system platforms. Based
on Xylogics' Remote Annex 4000, the Communications Server Modules combine
terminal server, dial-in remote access (using modems or ISDN terminal
adapters), shared dial-out to on-line services, and dial-up routing in a
single module.

"This OEM partnership with Chipcom underscores the trend towards
centralized remote access," said Grace Carr, vice president of North
American sales and worldwide marketing. "By establishing relationships
with the top hub vendors, Xylogics has ensured its leadership position in
this competitive and fast-growing market. The relationships with Bay
Networks, Cabletron and, now, Chipcom validate Xylogics technology and its
strategy of approaching remote access from the enterprise level, ensuring
access to the entire corporate LAN and its resources for all remote
users."
