Shiva Reduces Price of FastPath 5 by 29 Percent

Cambridge, MA, October 12, 1992--Shiva Corporation, a leading vendor of
remote networking and internetworking products, has reduced the U.S. list
price of its FastPath 5 LocalTalk-to-Ethernet gateway from $2799 to $1999.
The new price is effective immediately.

The price of the FastPath 5R, a rack-mount version of the FastPath 5, has
also been lowered. The U.S. list price of the single-unit FastPath 5R has
been reduced from $2799 to $1999, while the list price of the dual-unit
FastPath 5R, which connects two LocalTalks and two Ethernets, has been
reduced from $5399 to $3799.

"The new, lower price for the FastPath 5 makes LocalTalk-to-Ethernet
networking even more accessible to a greater number of users at a lower
cost. We're turning up the heat on competitors, while giving network
managers a break," said Shiva product line manager Paul Gustafson.

About the FastPath 5

Shiva's FastPath 5 is the standard for LocalTalk-Ethernet networking, with
over 50,000 units in the field. It is the fastest, most reliable
LocalTalk-Ethernet gateway, and routes multiple protocols, including
TCP/IP, DECnet, AppleTalk Phase 1 and 2, IPTalk and NFS. It includes Shiva
Net Manager, network management software that lets users easily configure
and centrally manage Shiva's FastPath 5, FastPath SR, NetModem/E,
LanRover/L and LanRover/E. FastPath 5 also supports SNMP, for
standards-based network management using tools like Sun Net Manager.

About the FastPath 5R 

FastPath 5R is a rack-mount version of the FastPath 5, the leading
AppleTalk-to-Ethernet gateway. Available in single or dual unit
configurations, the new FastPath SR makes it easier to install and monitor
FastPath 5 routers by putting them into 19 inch racks in the corporate
wiring closet.

FastPath SR mounts one or two FastPath 5s in an enclosure that can be
mounted in a standard 19-inch rack, on the wall, or stacked on a table.
The unit is highly reliable, and the ventilated enclosure provides very
cool operation for one or two FastPath 5s without the need of a fan. The
FastPath 5's CMOS logic and surface mount technology make it the most
advanced and reliable AppleTalk router available.

FastPath SR's slim design--the unit is 1.72 inches tall--means that four
FastPaths can fit into the space of one competitive gateway. This is an
important consideration in a crowded rack environment.
