*PRESS RELEASE* Friday November 6, 5:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: DATA RACE, Inc. Minnesota Life Deploys Be There!(TM) Remote Access System SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- DATA RACE, Inc. (Nasdaq: RACE - news) announced today that Minnesota Life Insurance Company, formerly Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance, has implemented Be There! as a component of their remote access solution. Minnesota Life found that the Be There! system uniquely affords road warriors and telecommuters a higher level of productivity when away from the office. Be There! provides a comprehensive solution by giving simultaneous access to corporate voice and data systems. Remote workers make phone calls, send and receive faxes and email, and access the internet -- all through a standard analog phone line. Be There! also seamlessly forwards phone calls from an office extension to the worker's remote location. This Telepresence(TM) not only gives the employee access to corporate resources, but also gives callers the impression that the telecommuter is in the office. According to Dorothy Demma, Telecommunications Project Manager, Minnesota Life Insurance Company has experienced success with Be There! on two fronts. ''The first group to implement the Be There! system was employees who work from home part time. They received the product enthusiastically and are excited to finally utilize all the office communications resources right there at home.'' ''We also experienced success introducing Be There! to corporate travelers. These workers are not road warriors in the truest sense of the word,'' added Demma. ''They may travel as few as four times a year, but when they do, they're usually at a remote location for up to three weeks at a time. Be There! allows them to stay in better contact with the office, and also keep their productivity high when in the field.'' George Bennett, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at DATA RACE, emphasized that Minnesota Life represents more than just another satisfied customer. ''The insurance industry today is highly dependent on reliable communication systems for their mobile employees. The success Minnesota Life has experienced with Be There! demonstrates the value that this system can provide to the insurance arena. We are excited to see new applications in which Be There! is bringing greater productivity and convenience to remote workers.''
