Advisory: Available for Comment on President Clinton's Call for Internet Tax Moratorium

CEO of SpaceWorks, Inc. - An Up -And Coming E- Commerce Vendor - Urges Government to Avoid Stifling Growth of Electronic Commerce

Rockville, MD -- February 26, 1998 -- SpaceWorks, Inc., an emerging leader in Extranet Commerce software, today announced its support of President Clinton's call for a moratorium on new state and local Internet taxes, declaring that levying new taxes at this time would have a chilling affect on the explosive economic growth and job creation which the Internet has fostered.

"By sticking to its original platform of minimal government intervention, the Administration is allowing the Internet to evolve as a market driven arena not a regulated industry," said Dave MacSwain, President and CEO of SpaceWorks. Only by preventing unnecessary restrictions, bureaucratic procedures or new tariffs at this time will the Internet have the opportunity to realize its full potential for revolutionizing commerce." Mr. MacSwain, twenty-five year high tech industry veteran, is available to journalists for comments on the government's proposed approach to Internet commerce.
