U.S. ROBOTICS OFFERS $200 SAVINGS ON ITU-TS 28.8 KBPS V.FAST TECHNOLOGY THROUGH 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

SKOKIE, Ill. -- July 2, 1993 -- U.S. Robotics, Inc., today announced a 
limited-time offer for a $99 upgrade to the ITU-TS (formerly CCITT) 
28.8 Kbps/V.Fast standard with the purchase of a Courier modem.  The offer 
gives Courier customers a $200 discount off the current upgrade price of $299.
Upgrades will be available when the ITU-TS approves the 28.8 Kbps 
recommendation, expected in late 1993 or early 1994.

All Courier V.32 bis or Dual Standard internal and external modems, with and 
without fax, are included in this special offer.  For any of these modems 
purchased by September 30, customers will receive a certificate for $200 off
the price of the 28.8 Kbps/V.Fast upgrade.  Upgrade certificates are available
through U.S. Robotics resellers; they may also be requested directly from 
U.S. Robotics.

"We are committed to growing the very high-speed modem market -- this offer 
makes a V.Fast solution extremely affordable," said Marshall Toplansky, U.S. 
Robotics vice president of marketing.  "Our solution not only lets our 
customers know up front how much this technology will cost and precisely how 
upgrades will be implemented, but also gives them an incredible value.  The 
Courier V.32 bis modem, at a list price of $695, can be upgraded for $99, 
bringing the total cost of a V.Fast solution to less than $800 -- far less 
than most competitive products."

U.S. Robotics' advanced modular modem architecture allows the company's current
Courier V.32 bis, Courier HST Dual Standard and Courier HST external desktop 
modems, plus all Shared Access products, to be easily upgraded to 28.8 Kbps.  
The modems contain a motherboard and a smaller daughterboard, which holds the 
microprocessors and firmware.  This daughterboard can quickly be replaced with
a new board containing the 28.8 Kbps technology.  The upgrade procedure takes 
less than five minutes, and can be performed in the field by the user, reducing
unnecessary "down" time and eliminating excess shipping and handling costs.  
U.S. Robotics is the only modem manufacturer to implement this kind of flexible
design.  

U.S. Robotics, Inc., (NASDAQ:USRX), is a leading designer, manufacturer and 
marketer of data communications systems and products.  Both corporate 
headquarters and manufacturing operations are based in Skokie, Illinois.
