OC://WebConnect Enterprise Server Suite(TM) Provides
                 Extra Security, Printing, Browser Interface

    LAS VEGAS, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenConnect Systems Incorporated, the
number one provider of solutions that Web-enable host applications, today
announced the release of OC://WebConnect Enterprise Server Suite at Network +
Interop.  OC://WebConnect Enterprise Server Suite is the first product to
integrate software in a single package for securely Web-enabling legacy system
applications.
    "Organizations are moving from individual desktop management to server
management and this shift has created an immediate need for complete Web-
enabling solutions while providing the scalability needed by large
enterprises," said Stephen Clark, CEO of Dallas-based OpenConnect.
"OpenConnect's Enterprise Suite provides extra security not available in other
packages of its class and makes printing legacy system data from even the
oldest Web browser easy."
    Simple, scalable, and secure, OC://WebConnect Enterprise Server Suite
includes the following three components:

    -- OC://WebConnect SNA Access Server(TM)- provides the data center
       consolidation point between the SNA and TCP/IP network.  This is
       the only product in its class that offers built-in security.  The
       SNA Access Server supports up to three times the number of
       concurrent users of competitor products.

    -- OC://WebConnect Pro(TM) - provides browser-based access to enterprise
       applications for new and existing users. WebConnect Pro revitalizes
       existing SNA applications by rejuvenating legacy system screens
       from green-on-black to a browser-based graphical user interface. By
       using OC://WebConnect Pro to access 3270 via the Internet,
       customers can save thousands of dollars a month in dial-up charges,
       as well as benefit from savings in management and support.
       Installation is so simple it takes approximately 15 minutes.

    -- OC://WebConnect SNA Print Server(TM)- provides a consolidation point
       for distributing mainframe print reports throughout the network.

    "First Union Capital Markets Group was looking to access its legacy
applications and mainframe data without a lot of hassle, time and added cost -
but first and foremost we we're concerned with the security of accessing
information over our intranet," Bruce Williams Manager of the Internet and
Remote Access Group.  "We chose OpenConnect because of our long running
successful experience with several of their SNA TCP/IP products.  Our
experience with WebConnect and OpenVista has been very positive, fairly simple
to use, scalable, along with security.  It was an attractive option for our
fast-growing company."
