          PROGRAM
     
          Program Certifies Compatibility of Third-Party Products with 
          the LANtastic Network Operating System
     
          (TUCSON, AZ -- April 10, 1995) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced 
          today its new LANtastic Developer Alliance program, which 
          certifies the compatibility of third-party products with 
          Artisoft's award-winning LANtastic network operating system. 
          The program is specifically focused on ensuring Artisoft's 
          target market of small and growing businesses that the most 
          popular small business software applications, hardware and 
          operating systems work with the LANtastic system.  More than 
          400 products are already compatible, and new developers and 
          products are being added weekly.
     
          "The LANtastic Developer Alliance program is building on the 
          LANtastic network's reputation as the powerful and safe 
          choice for small business networks because it offers 
          widespread compatibility," said Bill Peterson, Artisoft
          Vice President of Worldwide Marketing.  "This program will 
          further ensure purchasers of the LANtastic network that they 
          chose not only a powerful, easy-to-use and affordable 
          network, but also a safe one because it works with hundreds 
          of other products," he added.
     
          The alliance program includes many of the accounting 
          applications, databases and operating systems most 
          frequently used by small and growing businesses.  Artisoft 
          has formed developer partnerships with accounting 
          application vendors such as Peachtree Software, Inc., Great 
          Plains Software, SBT Accounting Systems and DacEasy, Inc.; 
          database vendors such as Borland International Inc.; and 
          communication vendors such as Microcom Systems, Inc.
     
          "Small businesses in particular look to resellers for 
          purchase recommendations for total solutions in which the 
          PCs, applications, and network are all compatible." said 
          Peter Bybee, Artisoft reseller and President of Peter Built 
          Computers in San Diego, Calif.  "The LANtastic Developer 
          Alliance is important to resellers like me because it 
          enables us to confidently recommend, sell and support 
          products that we know work well together," he added.
     
          The program will provide resellers and end users a Small 
          Business Resource Guide of all the products that work great 
          with the LANtastic system as well as technical bulletins to 
          assist with the installation of many of the products.  The 
          bulletins are available by fax through the Artisoft(R) 
          FAXReturn(SM) system, on Artisoft's Arti-Facts(SM) BBS, the 
          GO ARTISOFT forum on CompuServe(R) and the Artisoft BBS on 
          the Internet.
     
          "We're excited to be part of the launch of Artisoft's 
          LANtastic Developer Alliance program.  Given Artisoft's 
          strength in the small business market segment, their 
          outstanding reseller channel and their 2.7 million installed 
          user base, we believe this presents a tremendous opportunity 
          for our products," said Bill Goodhew, President of Peachtree 
          Software, Inc., an ADP Company.
     
          Artisoft has made it easy for U.S. and international 
          developers to join the alliance by offering certification 
          through a simple self-administered test, at no cost to the 
          developer.  Developers of compatible products have the 
          advantage of carrying the Artisoft logo on their packaging.
     
          Program benefits include the opportunity to post technical 
          installation and product marketing bulletins to assist 
          resellers in choosing and installing the developer's 
          product with the LANtastic network.
     
          Alliance members also receive timely product information and 
          evaluation copies of Artisoft products.  An additional 
          benefit is the opportunity to participate with Artisoft in 
          joint marketing activities such as seminars, advertising 
          campaigns and trade shows targeting resellers and the small 
          business market.  Developers' products are also featured in 
          Artisoft's major reseller and end user communications.
