             LANTRONIX SHIPS FIRST "FLASH-PROM" TERMINAL SERVERS
 
OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, May 12,1992:  Lantronix is shipping a new line of
Flash-PROM based terminal servers and printer/terminal servers.  The
company claims to be the first to bring the new "flash" technology
servers to market. 
 
    "Previously, most terminal server's operating software has had to
be downloaded from network hosts.  In the event of power failures or
program changes, it was possible for a large network to be tied up for
an hour or more while the terminal servers were brought back on line."
said Brad Freeburg, president of Lantronix.  "Flash-PROM based units
can reload themselves, and they load faster than conventional servers
when loading future program changes." said Freeburg.
 
    Application areas that will benefit most from this new technology,
are large networks, as well as remote sites which do not have their
own local host.  In the event of operating software modifications, the
Flash-PROM is re-written with the new down-loaded code.     List
prices for the new servers are only $200CDN higher than for
conventional Lantronix units, beginning at $1995CDN for a terminal
server with eight serial ports and $2850 for a sixteen port version.
 
    In a related announcement, Lantronix reduced the prices of its
miniature Ethernet
transceivers to $99CDN.  
 
    Lantronix products are available in Canada from Nord Graph Inc.,
407 Speers Road, Suite 203, Oakville, Ontario.  L6K 3T5  Telephone:
