Cyclades Teams with S.u.S.E.
-  Enhanced Commitment to Connectivity Products for the Linux Platform

FREMONT and OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA - September 29, 1998 - Cyclades
Corporation, makers of high-performance connectivity products, and
S.u.S.E., Inc., Europe's leading Linux distribution vendor for
businesses,
today announced their partnership to bring more of Cyclades' future
product line to the Linux platform.

"S.u.S.E. is very pleased to be working closely with Cyclades," said
Scott
McNeil, president of S.u.S.E. North America.  "Through this partnership,

we will be assisting Cyclades in its efforts to make more of its
products
compatible with Linux more quickly.  For end users, this means increased

convenience - easy connectivity in all forms of networking."

"Cyclades' partnering with S.u.S.E. will allow the user easier
management
of their solution with ours," said John Lima, CEO of Cyclades
Corporation.
"We believe it will also make it easier for new users to decide to use
Linux, since there will be a stronger link between the software and
hardware vendors."

Linux, the 32-bit multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, has long
been the platform of choice for ISPs worldwide.  The operating system's
success in this industry is primarily due to its rock-solid stability
and
open architecture.  Support for Linux has recently expanded beyond the
ISP
community.  This expansion is most notable with the arrival of vendors
such as Informix, Oracle, and Sybase.

Cyclades continues to support the Linux community by bringing products
that satisfy the growing demand for Linux hardware and solutions.
