<the recent runup is not an aberation> I agree. Recent stock action would suggest that this is only the beginning. After some back and fill, I expect the stock to resume its uptrend. This time around it seems that management has been much more circumspect. The following John Bollinger's TA site rates ADSP's performance as a 4 and potential as a 1 (the highest). equitytrader.com Click on the performance bar and you'll get the following: Date: 03/10/98 Close: 9.69 52 Week High: 11.13 52 Week Low: 5.25 50 day moving average: 7.51 Point and Figure: Buy Parent Potential: 2.00 Persistency of Money Flow: 54.40 P/E Ratio: 0.00 Market Capitalization: 0.00(in millions $) Potential: 1.45 Those interested in TA could go back to the home page equitytrader.com and click "Welcome" for explanations of the various terms. I too expect more OEM contracts to come.

Remote Access Server Market Potential for ADSP: I'm trying to get a handle on the numbers for this market that ADSP is breaking into. I hope that everyone can give me some feedback. In their report GKN didn't go so far as to write out the calculation for market potential, but if we use their data: 24 port server RASCAL = $11,496/unit 10% of 1998 server market = 300,000 servers 300,000 x $11,496 = $3,448,800,000 These numbers seem to be excessive...any comments? According to an industry report, quarterly RAS sales are at about $2.4B per quarter. This indicates that we are clearly looking at a huge market. Does anyone know how negotiations with IBM and HP are going? Looking to buy more ADSP if this story is as good as it looks... "SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (March 9) BUSINESS WIRE -March 9, 1998--In-Stat released its Q4 1997 Networking Quarterly results for Routers and Remote Access Servers (RAS) to its customers on February 20, 1998. RAS sales declined for the second consecutive quarter, but 1997 resulted in 20% sales growth to $2.4 billion." THC

Ariel's RASCAL Gets Accolades from Network Computing Server Based RAS Solution Gets High Marks for Performance, Cost Per Port, System Management and Ease of Installation CRANBURY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 1998--Ariel Corp. (NASDAQ:ADSP - news) today announced the results of a test on its RASCAL RS1000 remote access solution for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT - news) Windows NT servers. Network Computing Magazine performed a head-to-head test of four 56K remote access servers, each with integrated T1/PRI and a minimum of 24 ports. RASCAL received the highest marks for connection accuracy, performance and ease of installation. In addition to Ariel's RASCAL, Network Computing tested remote access servers from RAScom, Multi-Tech, and Access Beyond. Mike Fratto, Associate Technology Editor at Network Computing, coordinated the testing and was especially impressed with RASCAL's performance, system management and ease of installation. Fratto said: ''The RASCAL was the fastest in performance and call handling with the lowest price per port. Performance-wise, the RASCAL made it through the modem dial test with a whopping 98 percent of successful calls -- the best in this test.'' RASCAL was the only server tested that scored a full five out of five points possible. In addition to performance and cost benefits, Fratto was also impressed with how simple it was to install and configure the RASCAL. ''We quickly configured the boards using Ariel's wizard tool. It correctly found and configured the proper IRQ (Interrupt Request) and memory settings. It also [automatically] sensed the T1 line and located the proper coding, framing and line build-out on our Madge Networks' Teleos Model 60 Switch.'' RASCAL is an open, server-based remote access solution that gives MIS/IT managers an out-of-the-box solution for adding up to 60 ports of ISDN and 56K remote access to PC servers running Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system. RASCAL is the easiest enterprise RAS solution to install and configure (less than an hour), and once installed, administration and maintenance is done using familiar windows NT Routing and RAS utilities. RASCAL's ability to leverage existing NT server infrastructure and MIS staff expertise greatly reduces the cost of ownership relative to proprietary remote access products. RASCAL provides the physical connections needed for remote dial-in and LAN dial-out, combining up to sixty 56-kbps V.90-upgradable modems with a single or dual T1/E1/PRI (Primary Rate ISDN) interface in an ISA or PCI bus package. RASCAL supports up to 60 simultaneous remote access sessions originating from any combination of 64-kbps basic rate ISDN, digital 56-kbps, or analog 33.6-kbps customer premises equipment.
