FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LIVINGSTON BREAKS THE REMOTE ACCESS ACQUISITION BARRIER--LEASING PORTMASTER
3s FOR $13 PER PORT/MONTH
Pleasanton, Calif., Dec. 23, 1996 -- Livingston Enterprises, Inc., today
announced that it is launching the Livingston Access Leasing Program for
U.S. and Canadian customers. Livingston Access Leasing is tailored for
ISPs, enabling them to acquire Livingston PortMasterTM, IRXTM, and Office
RouterTM remote access products while minimizing their up-front costs and
maximizing their cash flow. With this new leasing program, Livingston
Enterprises provides a one-stop equipment and financing solution meeting a
broad set of ISP remote access needs.
"Huge market demand is forcing Internet Service Providers and other
network-based businesses to rapidly expand their networks. But many of
these businesses don't have the cash flow to fund this growth. We have
created the Livingston Access Leasing Program for these customers--to
provide ISPs the equipment they need while keeping their cash resources
intact," says Dan Geiger, Livingston Sales Development Manager.
Livingston Access Leasing Program Benefits
Livingston Access Leasing will enable many ISPs to expand and improve their
points-of-presence. "With Livingston Access Leasing we can more rapidly
upgrade our POPs to Livingston's new PortMaster 3 digital technology,
without draining our cash reserves. Already customers are noticing and
commenting about the increased performance of our network," says Tony
Schwartz, President of Transport Logic L.L.C--Portland, Oregon. The Leasing
Program offers several advantages for customers:
Minimizes up-front expense. Maximizes cash flow. Provides the industry's
most affordable per port rates--for example, a fully loaded PortMaster 3
Integrated Access Server with two T1/PRI ports and 48 True DigitalTM
internal modems will cost only $13 per modem port per month. Offers both
product and financing from a single, trusted source. Provides tax
deductible lease payments.

The Livingston Access Leasing Program will become available in January,
1997--with preliminary credit applications now being accepted. For more
