A pioneer and leader in the worldwide IT industry since
1984, Computone designs, manufactures and markets a comprehensive
line of remote access communications servers for Internet, LAN/WAN
and Windows NT/SCO UNIX/Linux and other Open Systems.

“Perry Pickerign, president of Computone Corporation (OTC BB:
CMPT) says that more and more often, when his phone rings, callers
“are asking about the wave of interest in Linux®.” And, he
said, the callers run the gamut from longtime Computone customers,
strategic allies and distribution partners to even his former
college football teammates at the University of Minnesota.”

“It’s no secret that Linux is very hot right now,” Pickerign
said. “From our perspective, it’s going to get even hotter. We’ll
know a bit more about how the investing public feels this week when
Caldera® Systems, a leading distributor of Linux, has its
initial public offering.”
