FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARTISOFT AND IBM COMPLETE CROSS-LICENSING AGREEMENT

Technology Exchange for Networking Products

(TUCSON, AZ -- Oct. 31, 1994) -- Artisoft, Inc. and IBM Corporation recently 
completed an agreement to exchange driver-level software for inclusion in their 
respective network operating systems. This technology has been incorporated into 
Artisoft's recently released LANtastic(R) for OS/2(R) network and IBM's LAN Server 
v4.0 network. The agreement includes IBM's licensing of Artisoft(R) NDIS driver 
software, which provides support for a wide range of Ethernet adapters from 
Artisoft, Eagle Technology and other manufacturers.

"This cross-licensing agreement helped us to quickly accelerate the time to market 
for the LANtastic for OS/2 network," commented Artisoft Vice President of Software 
Products Sunil Padiyar. "We are committed to offering our customers and resellers 
superior technology for their networking investment. Working with IBM, we are now 
offering a flexible, powerful, yet easy-to-use network for OS/2 users as well as 
providing current LANtastic users under DOS and Windows(TM) the ability to network 
to the OS/2 operating system."

Artisoft also announced today that its LANtastic for OS/2 network is now available 
through the company's distribution and reseller channels. This software will allow 
LANtastic network users to easily integrate OS/2 system machines into their existing 
DOS and Windows networks. Because it is based on the award-winning LANtastic core 
network system, the LANtastic for OS/2 network provides connectivity to Artisoft's 
family of network operating systems: the Simply LANtastic(TM) network, the LANtastic 
network versions 5.0 and 6.0, and the CorStream(TM) dedicated server.

The LANtastic for OS/2 network offers another operating system choice for LANtastic 
network users. Through its full line of networking products, the company also 
currently offers connectivity to DOS, Windows, Macintosh(R), UNIX(R), NetWare(R) and 
Windows NT(TM) operating systems.
