ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING CENTRAL STATION(TM) II CONNECTIVITY PROCESSOR 
    
     (TUCSON, AZ  September 27, 1993)  Artisoft, Inc. announced
today  that it has begun shipping its Central Station II
connectivity  processor. This enhanced version of Artisoft's
original Central Station  processor provides connectivity options
for the following: five ports   two parallel and three serial  for
up to five printers at one time,  connections for up to two modems
at one time, as well as laptop to  Ethernet connectivity
capabilities for LANtastic(R) (version 5.0) or  NetWare(R)
(versions 2.x, 3.11 or 4.0) network operating systems. The  Central
Station II processor, priced at $595, includes pre-loaded  versions
of the Printer Server and Dial-Up Connection StationWare(TM) 
dedicated applications.
     Those users who purchased the original Central Station
connectivity  processor after August 1, 1993 can exchange it for
hte new Central  Station II processor. Because the Central Station
II processor requires  version 5.0 of the LANtastic Local Area
Network, Artisoft will be  offering a special half-price upgrade
offer (DOS - $25; DOS/Windows -  $50) with the purchase of the
Central Station II processor to those  users who have version 4.1
or lower of the LANtastic network. For a  limited time, Artisoft is
also offering existing Central Station users a  special half-price
offer ($49 per network) to upgrade to StationWare  v3.0 software,
regularly priced at $99 per network. Existing Central  Station
users wishing to use five printers simultaneously must purchase 
the Central Station II connectivity processor in order to use the
PC  interface and auxiliary ports as printer connections. Artisoft
has  lowered the price of the original Central Station connectivity
processor  to $495. 
     Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of innovative,
cost-effective network communication solutions including the award-
winning  LANtastic Local Area Network. Recognized as the leader in
peer-to-peer  networking for DOS and Windows(TM)  environments, the
LANtastic network  also offers multiplatform connectivity solutions
for NetWare, TCP/IP and  Macintosh(R) systems. It allows up to 500
users on one network to  connect and share information and
peripheral devices such as printers,  hard drives and CD-ROMs.
