NEW PACKAGE MAKES IT EASIER TO ESTABLISH BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEMS ON
THE INTERNET
MurkWorks, Inc. and NuIQ Join Forces To Create A Package That "Marries" the
BBS and Internet Industries

New York - March, 1996 - MurkWorks, Inc. and NuIQ Software, Inc. have
announced the release of 'Net BBS, a new package that enables users to
establish Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) on the Internet quickly and easily.

"Until now," said Scott Brown, President and CEO of NuIQ, "Bulletin
Board Systems and Web sites have existed in two almost entirely
seprate cyberworlds.  Now, with this new package, that gap will be
closed.  A BBS can now be put on the Internet and can be accessed
just as easily as a web site.  Heretofore, the majority of bulletin
boards were primarily local in nature.  We feel that the release of 'Net
BBS will significantly increase the number of globally-oriented, Internet
based BBS'es."

There are currently more than 10 million world wide web (WWW) sites,
where users can post literature - such as brochures and magazines -
in online form.  Bulletin Board Systems provide an alternative to web
sites, offering features such as message conferencing, real-time chat,
file management and exchange services.

MurkWorks is the leading developer of Internet applications for the BBS
industry.  NuIQ has been publishing the popular Powerboard BBS software
package since 1991.  The package that "marries" the BBS and Internet
industries is a combination of MurkWorks' BBSNet for NetWare(tm) software
and NuIQ's Powerboard BBS software, together with several significant
enhancements.

The two companies believe that the successful introduction of their
joint product will have profound implications for both the BBS and
Internet industries, offering a powerful yet easy-to-use Internet/BBS
solution for both the high-end hobbyist and small business markets.

"Internet-accessible BBSes will provide more interactive and varied
content than any World Wide Web site can offer today," said MurkWorks
President Brad Clements.

The new package allows the user to accomplish the same goals that
the two underlying products were able to achieve separately, but
it installs much faster.  Because the BBSNet and BBS software have
been combined, the user no longer has to deal with the complicated
options and setups that were previously required in order to link the
two technologies.  A BBS can now be connected to the Internet in a
half hour or less.  Maintenance of a system based on this software
is automatic; little operator intervention is required.

"Once a system based on 'Net BBS has been set up," said Douglas B.
Vermes, Vice President of Software Development for NuIQ, "people
anywhere in the world can access it.  It's as easy as accessing a
Web site, which is accomplished by entering the command 'http://'
followed by the name of a Web site.  The only difference is that
in order to enter a 'Net BBS site, the user enters the
command 'telnet://' instead.  In fact, a 'Net BBS site can be linked
to a Web page so that when a user clicks on a particular button on a
Web site, he or she will be connected automatically to the 'Net BBS
site.  This means that the two technologies can be linked to create
a site that offers the best of both worlds."

In addition to providing services that cannot be accomplished with
Web sites, this software offers direct access to the Internet.  With
just a standard modem and a telephone line, a user can dial into a
system running 'Net BBS and gain immediate access to e-mail, usenet
newsgroups, FTP, gopher, outgoing Telnet and other services.

"One of Powerboard's strengths," said Roland Baroni, Executive Vice
President of NuIQ, "has always been its simplicity.  First-time
users can get up and running very fast.  They don't need to learn
how to configure their system before accepting their first call."
He also cited Powerboard's scripting language as a means for unlimited
growth potential.

The 'Net BBS package retails for [395].  It includes complete
documentation and step-by-step instructions for setting up the
system and connecting it to the Internet.  More information, free
literature and an interactive slideshow entitled "The 'Net BBS
Tour" are available by calling a toll-free number: 1-800-844-6526.
