ARTISOFT ANNOUNCES NEW NDIS SUPPORT FOR LANTASTIC(R) LOCAL 
AREA NETWORK

NDIS Support For LANtastic Kit Provides Interconnectivity 
For LANtastic Network

        (TUCSON, AZ -- March 2, 1993) -- Artisoft, Inc. 
announced today that it will be offering LANtastic users a 
new kit that allows interconnectivity with other operating 
environments as well as providing an NDIS interface to the 
LANtastic NetBIOS. The NDIS Support for LANtastic Kit is 
scheduled to ship in March (concurrent with version 5.0 of 
the LANtastic network), and is priced at $199 per network. 

Multi-Protocol Stacking
        The NDIS Support for LANtastic Kit allows users to 
load or stack multiple protocols allowing transparent access 
across different computing platforms such as UNIX(R) (via 
NFS), NetWare(R) (using a separate IPX NDIS driver), IBM 
Mainframe and various other environments. These protocols 
can be loaded and accessed concurrently without interrupting 
the LANtastic network connection. 

NDIS Interface
        The NDIS Support for LANtastic Kit enables a wide 
range of adapters that come with NDIS drivers to be 
compatible with the LANtastic/AI(TM) 
network -- the adapter-independent version of the LANtastic 
network operating system. The AI-NDIS driver included in the 
kit also links Artisoft's, as well as third-party, NDIS 
drivers with the LANtastic network's NetBIOS.   

        Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of 
innovative, cost-effective network communication solutions 
including the LANtastic Local Area Network. Recognized as 
the leader in peer-to-peer networking for DOS and 
Windows(TM) environments, the LANtastic network now offers

and Macintosh(R) systems. It allows up to 500 users of 
IBM(R) -compatible computers to connect and share 
information and peripheral devices such as printers, hard 
drives and CD-ROMs, and has won numerous industry awards for 
its cost-effective features, performance and ease of use. 
Artisoft distributes the LANtastic network and its other 
connectivity products in over 70 countries worldwide and
