          (TUCSON, AZ -- Dec. 5, 1995) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced 
          today that it has begun shipping the Artisoft(R) 
          T-Runner(TM) II Hub-8 and Hub- 16 external hub/concentrators

          802.3-compliant concentrators are compatible with major 
          Ethernet environments, including Artisoft's LANtastic(R) 
          network operating system, Microsoft's Windows(R) 95 and

          respectively for the T-Runner II Hub-8 and Hub-16.
     
          "Our resellers and small to mid-size business customers tell 
          us they want networking hardware that's simple to set up, 
          affordably priced and built to the same quality standards as 
          their LANtastic software; these hubs provide just that," 
          said Artisoft Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Bill 
          Peterson.  "Because these hardware products adhere to 
          industry standards, Artisoft customers can use them with the 
          LANtastic family of products or with other major networking 
          products."
     
          PROMOTIONAL BUNDLE
     
          For a limited time, the hubs will be available to resellers 
          in a discounted special bundle with Artisoft's 
          NodeRunner/SI(TM) 2000/T adapters, the UTP version of the 
          NodeRunner/SI Ethernet adapter family.  Resellers will be 
          able to save $99 (off the MSRP) on the T-Runner II Hub-8 and 
          a five-pack of NodeRunner(R) 2000/T adapters when purchased 
          with a five-user version of the LANtastic network.
     
          Resellers will save an even greater amount of $159 (off the 
          MSRP) on the T-Runner II Hub-16 and a 10-pack of NodeRunner 
          2000/T adapters with the purchase of a 10-user version of 
          the LANtastic network.  These promotional bundles will be 
          offered through Artisoft's distribution partners as long as 
          quantities last from now through Jan. 31, 1996.
     
          FEATURES
     
          The T-Runner II Hubs allow users to easily expand their 
          networks and share computer resources.  The T-Runner II 
          Hub-8 will connect up to eight client or server PCs, 
          portable PCs and print servers via its RJ-45 ports.
          The T-Runner II Hub-16 will function in the same way, except 
          that it will connect up to 16 devices.
     
          These passive hubs comply with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE2, 
          10BASE5 and 10BASE-T Ethernet standards, and have the 
          capability to cascade to other hubs, giving users even 
          greater flexibility in expanding their networks.  The 
          T-Runner II Hub-8 can be daisy chained to other hubs via its 
          10BASE2 thin coax port or its eighth RJ-45 (10BASE-T) port. 
          The T-Runner II Hub-16 will connect to other hubs similarly, 
          through its 10BASE2 thin coax port, its 16th RJ-45 
          (10BASE-T) port, or its AUI (10BASE5) port.
     
          Easily set up, the hubs increase network stability by 
          maintaining connections, even when a faulty node is 
          attached.  The hubs support auto partition and reconnection 
          to isolate faulty nodes and collision activity.  In 
          addition, each 10BASE-T port on the hubs has built-in 
          polarity detection and correction logic feature to 
          automatically adjust for crossed and uncrossed cables.
     
          Users will be able to verify network setup and node activity 
          at a glance on both hubs via Link/Data status LEDs, which 
          will indicate proper operation and connection for each port. 
          Both hubs will also include a status power-on LED.
     
          The hubs are designed to be set up in minutes without 
          software configuration.  Their small size and built-in 
          brackets will allow them to be conveniently placed on 
          desktops, stacked with other hubs or mounted on a wall. 
          They will come with a three-year limited hardware warranty, 
          and free limited technical support upon product 
          registration.

          ADAPTERS
     
          (TUCSON, AZ - Dec. 5, 1995) - Artisoft, Inc. today announced 
          that it has begun shipping two new NodeRunnerr Ethernet 
          adapters.  The NodeRunner Pro UTP Ethernet adapter supports 
          10BASE-T (unshielded twisted pair) cabling and the 
          NodeRunner Pro Combo Ethernet adapter supports both 10BASE-T 
          and 10BASE2 (thin coaxial) cabling.  The adapters start at 
          $99 and $109 (MSRP) respectively for the UTP and Combo 
          versions and are sold in one, five and 10-user packages. 
          These new IEEE 802.3-compliant adapters are compatible with 
          major networking environments, including Artisoft's 
          LANtastic(R) network operating system, Novell's NetWare(R) 
          and Microsoft's Windows(R) 95.
     
          "These new adapters demonstrate Artisoft's continued 
          commitment to providing complete hardware and software

          INTRODUCTORY OFFER FOR RESELLERS
     
          In an introductory promotion, Artisoft is offering a bundle 
          of two NodeRunner Pro Combo Ethernet adapters at a $53 
          discount from the MSRP.  This single-purchase promotion will 
          be available through Artisoft's distribution partners as long 
          as quantities last from now through Dec. 31, 1995.
     
          FEATURES
     
          Based on Intel's S82595FX ISA Ethernet Controller Chip, the 
          NodeRunner Pro Ethernet adapters use one-third the power of 
          other Ethernet adapters, while providing superior 
          performance for high-powered PCs.  The NodeRunner Pro 
          Ethernet adapters increase network throughput by using 
          concurrent processing, an early transmit and receive 
          technology.
     
          The NodeRunner Pro Ethernet adapters are further enhanced 
          with a 32KB buffer RAM, which increases performance by 
          reducing overhead on networks with high traffic and/or 
          multitasking operating systems.  In addition, the adapters 
          include Desktop Management Interface (DMI) support for 
          managing network PCs with DMI-compliant applications.
     
          These robust adapters also meet the Microsoft and 
          Intel-developed standard for Plug-and-Play compatibility, 
          automatically resolving I/O conflicts with other devices. 
          The software configurable adapters will support the 
          LANtastic network's native drivers as well as DOS, Windows 
          v3.x, IBM(R) OS/2(R), Novell(R) NetWare, Windows NT(TM) 
          v3.1 and v3.5, Windows 95, and SCO UNIX(R) environments.
     
          These new Windows 95-compatible adapters will be included in 
          the total solution hardware/software add-on kits and
          starter kits for Artisoft's recently announced LANtastic for 
          Windows 95 network, a 32-bit client and server version of 
          the LANtastic system.
