          ARTISOFT'S LANTASTIC(R) NETWORK TO BE BUNDLED WITH IBM'S NEW 
          WIRELESS LAN ENTRY SYSTEM
     
          (TUCSON, AZ -- March 15, 1995) -- Artisoft, Inc. announced 
          today that its award-winning LANtastic network operating 
          system will be bundled with IBM Corporation's new Wireless 
          LAN Entry system.  The bundle, which is expected to ship in 
          April, consists of a single-user version of the LANtastic v6 
          .0 network and a PCMCIA adapter that fits in a laptop 
          computer.  The bundle is priced at $445 and will be 
          available through IBM's distribution channels.
     
          "We're very pleased that the LANtastic network was chosen 
          for inclusion in IBM's new entry-level product in the 
          wireless LAN market," said Artisoft's President and CEO 
          William C. Keiper.  "We believe the IBM adapter combined 
          with the LANtastic network will provide customers with a 
          powerful, affordable and easy-to-use wireless network 
          solution," he added.
     
          The IBM Wireless LAN Entry system permits networks to exist 
          where wiring would be too expensive or impractical.  It was 
          designed to meet the needs of hospitals, retail stores, 
          factories and other businesses seeking to quickly create 
          economical computer networks or for personnel like nurses or 
          inventory clerks who "roam" within predictable boundaries. 
          With this system, mobile networks can be moved, altered, shut 
          down and reopened in response to changing conditions.
     
          The LANtastic network combines state-of-the-art computer 
          networking with built-in electronic mail, scheduler and fax 
          capabilities.  It includes advanced security, universal 
          client technology for compatibility with a variety of 
          platforms including IBM LAN Server, and network management 
          capabilities to monitor network activity and tune network 
          performance in almost any configuration.  The LANtastic 
          network, which starts at $119 for a single-user version, is 
          available in packages for 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 users.
     
          This bundle marks a continuing alliance between Artisoft and 
          IBM.  Last year the two companies entered into a 
          cross-licensing agreement to exchange driver-level software 
          for inclusion in their respective network operating systems. 
          The technology was incorporated into Artisoft's LANtastic for 
          OS/2(R) network and IBM's LAN Server v4.0 network.
     
          The bundle includes a coupon for customers in the United 
          States to purchase a single-user version of the LANtastic 
          for OS/2 network for $99, a savings of $40 off the $139 
          MSRP.
