Guelph, Ontario, October 17, 1997
Ositech Communications Inc. announces the latest addition to the TRUMPCARD family of PC Cards: the Five of Hearts International. The combination of the industry's fastest connection speed, Ositech's patented Digital Phone Interface (DPI) technology and International Class capabilities make the Five of Hearts International the most innovative and versatile PC Card modem available.

Ositech's Five of Hearts International makes standard connections through analog lines and cellular connections, but the inclusion of the Five of Hearts International's fully internal Digital Phone Interface (DPI) technology allows users to make connections through digital phones as well. Exclusive to Ositech, DPI is a true technological innovation in the modem industry, enabling users to be more productive by connecting where no one else can. The incorporation of DPI in the Five of Hearts International means users need never again make Internet presentations in the fax room, or search endlessly for an analog line. If a phone is available, be it analog, cellular or digital, the Five of Hearts International enables users to retrieve email or gain access to the Internet simply and flawlessly-even internationally.

While Ositech's DPI technology eliminates the problem mobile users face when they encounter digital phones, the Five of Hearts' International Class capabilities mean making international connections using analog lines is now straightforward as well. At present, when a mobile user attempts to connect from an international location using their North American modem, the difference in ring signals and current have prevented simple connections. With the Five of Hearts' International Class capabilities and included software, users need only select the country they are in from an easy to use onscreen menu, and the PC Card will adjust itself accordingly to that country's requirements.

Product Manager Michael Dodgson says, "The overall combination of 56K speed, our Digital Phone Interface and the innovation of International Class capabilities truly makes this modem card the best product available for mobile travelers, particularly those who move internationally. The Five of Hearts International ensures users will have virtually limitless connectivity at home and in business places around the world. Anywhere, any time, through any phone."

The International Five of Hearts will be in the channel January 31, 1998 at the list price of $349 US. For part numbers and additional information, please visit Ositech's website at www.ositech.com, or call 1-888-OSITECH ext. 400.
