Gambit Communications Brings SNMP Simulation to the Enterprise
		Cost-Cutting Tool Provides Ease-of -Use

Nashua, NH - October 18, 1999 - Gambit Communications, Inc., the leader in 
scalable SNMP agent simulation tools, today announced Version 4.00 of its MIMIC 
SNMP Agent Simulator.  MIMIC provides an inexpensive way for enterprises, 
device vendors, management software developers, and outsourcers to demo, 
test, develop, train and certify SNMP-based management applications without 
purchasing all the equipment and maintaining labs for those functions.	

	"MIMIC 4.00 is a well focused evolution of Gambit's SNMP agent
simulation tool," said Dennis Drogseth, Director, Enterprise Management
Associates. "With the new wizards plus MIMIC's extensive device libraries
and pre-recorded networks, this version is well adapted for large
customer enterprises as well as developers.  Enterprises will find the
tool effective for evaluating management software, and for performing
applications like operator training and disaster simulation."

	MIMIC 4.00 features:

	- The ability to record, compile, and simulate up to 2000 SNMP-based 
	  devices from one workstation
	- User-friendly wizards for importing new MIBs, recording large 
	  networks, creating device simulations and network topologies, and 
          automated script creation
        - Full support for SNMP V1, V2, and V3 as well as RMON1 and RMON2

"MIMIC has saved Xylan over $500,000 in expenses related to software
development," said Mark Truhlar, Vice President, General Manager of IP
telephony at Xylan, an Alcatel company. "It is one of the few development
products that we can depend on to keep pace with our development needs
-- the fact that they're already supporting SNMP V3 speaks for itself.
And as a former CIO, I would not hesitate to use this simulation tool in
a large enterprise environment, not only for the cost savings but also
the ability to perform applications like disaster recovery simulation
which would be almost impossible without a tool like this."

Founded in 1995, Gambit Communications is a startup that specializes in 
providing SNMP-based network management tools that enhance the productivity 
of network management developers and enterprise users while lowering their 
costs.  Gambit's SNMP agent simulation tool, MIMIC, records SNMP agents, 
then "plays back" simulations for use in applications from development and 
testing to operator training and disaster simulations. For more information on
