MODCOMP Announces Wireless E-Business Solution for Palm VII™ Users

ViewMax® is First Solution to Connect Palm™ to Mainframe, Midrange, and UNIX® Applications

May 8, 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 its integration software, ViewMax, is the first solution to support wireless access to mainframe, midrange, and UNIX applications via the Palm VII.

Palm, Inc.'s Palm.net™ Service assigned a 4-star rating to ViewMax, which seamlessly connects the Palm VII browser to any enterprise system, or "green screen," computer application. The solution enables businesses and institutions to offer quick access to applications from remote locations; for example, it can let an insurance sales representative view a customer policy from the field, or allow a student to research a university library system.

MODCOMP's Palm VII support is the most recent addition to its suite of mobile business (M-Business) solutions. Earlier this year, MODCOMP launched WAP66ä Portal Server, the first server solution to make existing enterprise data available for mobile business (M-Business) using wireless access protocol.

"Wireless access to mainframe applications will especially benefit the mobile workforce who depend on quick and secure enterprise data to get their jobs done," said Rob Crigler, vice president marketing, MODCOMP E-commerce Division. "We expect ViewMax to play a significant role for organizations embracing the new wireless Internet economy."

According to Crigler, interested organizations can link to the ViewMax - Palm VII enterprise solution demo at www.palm.net/apps.

Standard pricing for ViewMax begins at $10,000 (U.S.) plus configuration services and user licensing.
