Simple, Inexpensive LAN Integration is Now Only a Phone Call Away.

April 8, 1991 - Reston, VA - John T. Eldredge, Director of Sales and
Marketing, Performance Systems International, Inc. (PSI) today
announced a new service useful to organizations interested in entry
level LAN integration into PSINet and the global Internet: LAN Dialup
Connection Service, or LAN-DCS.

LAN-DCS will be available in May and supports V.32 modem technology that,
with standard modem compression techniques, can provide 19.2Kbps throughput.
LAN-DCS uses the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and is fully compatible with
Telebit's Netblazer(TM) product and the public domain KA9Q software that
can make any PC a full-fledged internetworking router. 

Martin L. Schoffstall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer of PSI
stated, "Dialup/Switched internetworking is the next wave for the Internet
(and PSINet).  Through these technologies, we believe that there will be
much broader acceptance and revolutionary impact on everything from K-12
education, to software providers, to the Fortune 500."

Initially, LAN-DCS will be available through local dialups in the following
PSINet Points-of-Presence (POPs):

	Albany, NY
	Boston, MA
	Mountain View, CA
	New York, NY
	Reston, VA
	Santa Clara, CA

As an introductory offer to all new organizations participating in this new
service, PSI will extend a 20% discount off the regular price of $300/month 
for LAN-DCS when they sign up by July 1, 1991.  

PSI, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, is a value-added internetworking
services provider with a wide spectrum of services for the individual and
corporate user of electronic information, ranging from electronic mail
products to turnkey integration of local area networks into the PSINet wide
area network system and the Internet. 

Through the Commercial Internet Exchange (CIX), which PSI co-founded, all
commercial US internetworking service providers are interconnected, providing
commercial companies on PSINet with no government restrictions on usage
to other commercial companies participating in the CIX.
