Winnebago Industries Hits the 'Open' Road with Linux on the IBM Mainframe
Bynari Insight Server Provides Cost-Effective e-Mail Alternative

Armonk, NY -- June 12, 2001.... IBM today announced that Winnebago Industries,
Inc., a premier manufacturer of recreation vehicles, is implementing the Bynari
Insight Server on an IBM eServer mainframe for its messaging and collaboration
needs.

Winnebago Industries, Inc. chose Bynari Insight Server after learning it could
save significantly on software licensing costs while benefiting from the
unmatched reliability of the IBM mainframe.

Bynari Insight Server provides Winnebago Industries messaging features similar
to Microsoft Exchange but runs on Linux and leverages the company's existing
mainframe investment. In addition, the IBM mainframe is helping the company
streamline operations and simplify management by consolidating on one machine.

"Bynari Insight Server for Linux not only gave us a more cost-effective e-mail
option, but it showed us that Linux for the mainframe is ideal for enterprise
applications," said Dave Ennen, Technical Support Manager at Winnebago
Industries.  "We were a mainframe shop for decades but were lured in by the
trend toward distributed computing.  Now with Linux, we're back to the mainframe
because it's not only more reliable but it's also more cost-efficient and easier
to run."

Mike O'Dell, CEO of Bynari, sees Winnebago Industries' solution as a prime
example of the benefits of deploying enterprise applications on a mainframe
running Linux.  "Messaging and collaboration applications have become
mission-critical operations, essential to the success and efficiency of any
company," said O'Dell.  "Bynari Insight Server on an IBM mainframe running Linux
presents a powerful, flexible messaging platform with the highest reliability
and potentially the lowest cost of ownership on the market."

John Morris, vice president, IBM eServer zSeries said, "Customers like Winnebago
Industries, Inc. are responding to the significant cost savings, performance and
efficiency of Linux on the mainframe." Morris continued, "Now, working with
Bynari, we have demonstrated that Linux provides a real alternative for
customers considering consolidating applications on the mainframe."

On average, Winnebago Industries processes 160,000 data transactions on its
mainframe each day.  In addition, the virtual server capabilities of the
mainframe allow the company to run Web and domain-name servers utilizing IBM's
Virtual Machine (VM/ESA) operating system.  The company also plans to
consolidate the work of 40 additional servers, currently handling file serving
and other applications, on the same mainframe to gain additional efficiencies.
