     ======================================================================

     PROVIDING A SERVICE TO YOUR CALLERS

     If one of your goals is to provide your callers with maximum value on
     your board, you may want to consider this program which is FREE to 
     both you and your callers!  If your callers are like most, they're 
     trying to gain maximum value from their online time.  In today's cost-
     conscious, consumer oriented marketplace, people appreciate finding 
     good values.  Our online discount magazine subscription service can 
     provide those values and doesn't require ANY investment of time or
     money on your part.  Due to our totally online approach to marketing,
     we're able to pass our savings on to the consumer.  As a result of
     lower marketing costs, our prices are up to 50% off regular 
     subscription rates.  

     Even though we've reduced our rates to reflect the savings of online
     marketing, at your option, we'll even pay you $1.00 for each 
     subscription we receive from any of your callers.  This will generate
     a few extra dollars for the maintenance of your system and should 
     more than offset your phone charges for downloading an updated price
     list from us once a month.

     WHO IS LARAN COMMUNICATIONS?

     Laran Communications was organized in April, 1991 for the purpose of
     expanding the commercial applications of the BBS marketplace.  As the
     number of BBSs in service has dramatically increased, sysops have 
     been in search of practical methods of offsetting their increasing
     costs while at the same time responding to competitive demands for
     more services.  Our goal is to design online applications which make
     economic sense for both the sysop and caller.

     HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

     Simply complete the bottom of this form and return it to us so that
     we're aware of your participation.  Then, on the top right corner of
     the order form found in magazine.zip, use an editor to replace our
     name with yours.  This will allow us to properly track orders and to
     pay you $1.00 for each subscription we receive from your callers.

     Then, around the 5th or 6th of each month, call our BBS and download
     an updated price list which is found in our file named MAGAZINE.ZIP.
     You'll either need to edit the order form text file each month or set
     up a batch file so that your BBS name always remains a part of the
     ordrform.txt file.  To allow us to maintain what we believe are the 
     lowest prices on the magazines we handle, we will mail your 
     commission check when the amount exceeds $10.00.

     You can carry the MAGAZINE.ZIP file in any area of your BBS you desire.
     We've even included some sample ANSI screens in this zip file should
     you choose to use them to draw attention to your new service.  As our
     prices are subject to change on a monthly basis, these ANSI screens
     will be updated and found in a file named SCREENS.ZIP on our system.

     There is never any need for you to become involved in handling any
     orders or customer inquiries since both our order form and price list
     refer customers direct to our toll free 800 number.

     SPECIAL NOTE

     This price list file cannot be converted to print and used as a 
     direct mail piece which is sent out on an unsolicited basis.
