            (TUCSON, AZ --  April 1, 1992)  -- Artisoft, Inc.  announced
            today that it will begin shipping its LANtastic to Macintosh
            system in the second quarter  of calendar year 1992.  Priced
            at $799, this system provides an unlimited amount of users a
            transparent  integration   of   a  Macintosh   network   and
            PostScript printers  into  the LANtastic  network  operating
            system environment, and enables real-time file-sharing
            between both environments.

            "By establishing  the LANtastic  network's  interoperability
            with Macintosh  networks, we  are bringing  the two  leading
            peer-to-peer networks together for  the first time,"  stated
            Jack Schoof  (pronounced  "shoaf"), Artisoft  President  and
            CEO.

            The LANtastic to Macintosh system establishes a PC to  serve
            as a dedicated gateway  between the Macintosh and  LANtastic
            networks. PC servers on the LANtastic network are set up  as
            logical drives  on the  gateway PC  and appear  as  slightly
            modified Macintosh computer icons to users on the  Macintosh
            network. Thus, Macintosh users see PC files and  directories
            as they would standard  Macintosh files and directories  and
            use the Chooser to select printers attached to the LANtastic 
            network.  Slightly different  for  PC  users,  the LANtastic
            to  Macintosh  system  establishes  a   dedicated gateway PC
            where users can access PostScript printers on the  Macintosh
            network  and where  they can  see Macintosh files which have
            been saved onto the  gateway PC's hard drive.  PC  users can
            see and  access any  PostScript printer  that is attached to
            the Macintosh  network from their own  LANtastic interface.

            Both sets of users can access  the other set's files of  the
            same file  format  (i.e.  Microsoft(R)  Word  and  Excel  or
            Aldus(R) PageMaker(R)). File  attributes and  record-locking
            are  supported  in   both  directions.   In  addition,   any
            PostScript-compatible  printer   --- even   non-AppleTalk(R)
            interface printers  such  as Hewlett  Packard's  LaserJet(R)
            series  ---  can  be   shared  simultaneously   between  all
            workstations, both Macintosh and PC.

            The LANtastic to Macintosh system uses a Standard  Macintosh
            User Interface and maintains  all Apple security  privileges
            normally  available  to  Macintosh  users.  The  gateway  PC
            appears as an AppleShare(R) server to the Macintosh user and
            files are accessed  in the same  fashion as  with any  other
            AppleShare  server.  The   LANtastic  to  Macintosh   system
            provides one AppleTalk Interface  Board (Apple LocalTalk  PC
            board, Ethernet, Token Ring )  and  requires  one  LANtastic
            workstation with  640K RAM,  a LANtastic-compatible  network
            adapter, Apple's  System  6.0 or  greater,  and DOS  3.3  or
            greater.

            Artisoft develops and manufactures  a full line of  hardware
            and software for local area networks including the LANtastic
            Local Area Network. The  LANtastic network is recognized  as
            the leading  DOS-based  peer-to-peer  network  and  has  won
            numerous  industry  awards  for its cost-effective features,
            performance, and ease of use. It  allows up to 300 users  of
            IBM(R)-compatible computers to connect and share information
            and peripheral devices such as printers, hard drives and CD-
            ROMs. The LANtastic network and Artisoft's other onnectivity
            products are distributed in over 70 countries worldwide.
