Northeastern University Selects MODCOMP Web Solution for Self-Service Change of Address Interface

ViewMax® Solution Enables Students to Update Information Instantly Via University Web Site

---

April 20, 2000, Ft. Lauderdale, FL — MODCOMP®, Inc. (www.modcomp.com), a subsidiary of CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI) and a leading developer of E-commerce and M-business solutions, today announced that Northeastern University will implement MODCOMP's ViewMax Web-to-Host solution to offer self-service address change capabilities to its students via its Web site.

Northeastern will use the ViewMax solution to establish Web access to the university computer server where student information is stored. Currently, students are required to complete and submit a paper form through the Registrar's office. The change of address data is then manually updated at a later time through a time-intensive data entry process. The new student change of address system is part of a larger initiative of Northeastern projects that promote Internet-based self-service for its students and staff. In all, MODCOMP expects the university to implement its Web solution for nearly 50 of these projects over the next two to three years.

"This self-service solution empowers university students and employees with secure information access at any time and from anywhere," said Rob Crigler, vice president marketing, MODCOMP E-commerce Division. "We look forward to helping Northeastern establish a completely Web-based information resource that will benefit everyone associated with the university."

MODCOMP consultants will work with Northeastern IT staff over the next two weeks to implement the web-based change of address application for the IBM 2003-24 mainframe.

"The address change functionality will be useful for students to inform the university of their location while on co-op," stated Paul Pagliarulo, Director of Administrative Computer Services. "The web-based address change will be especially useful at the end of the spring term, as students start to make decisions on their living arrangements for the next year."

Northeastern expects to offer the change of address service to its students as early as the Fall semester.
