BOCA RESEARCH TRIUMPHS...
                   WINS 2 MAJOR INDUSTRY AWARDS...

        PC Magazine, "Editors' Choice," 28.8Kbps Modem

        PC World, "Best Buy," Video Graphics Accelerator,
         The Boca Voyager

        Boca Raton, FL, August 11, 1994 - Boca Research, Inc.
        (NASDAQ: BOCI) announces two wins in major industry trade
        publications for two of its product families, video
        graphics adapters and modems.

        "It's a banner day at Boca Research," says Bruce Roegiers,
        Director of Marketing and Corporate Product Planning.  "Two
        wins from two major trade pubs for two different product
        families.  Obviously, we're elated!"

        Roegiers goes on to say, "The significance of these two
        reviews is unequalled.  Each of these publications has a
        circulation in excess of 1 million readers--from business
        buyers to end users.  The value of these awards as they
        potentially translate into real sales is immeasurable.  I
        am particularly proud of the wins in two seperate product
        families.  It underscores the diversification of our
        Company's product lines and reconfirms our claim that we
        are more than a modem company."

        "Editors Choice" - PC Magazine (September 13, 1994)
        "If making the modem look fast was on of Boca Research's
        intentions, it succeeded.  Fortunately, the V.FAST Class
        External BocaModem is every bit as fast as it looks," state
        PC Magazine in its review of 25 modems.  In awarding Boca
        the best overall V.FAST modem Editors' Choice award, the
        magazine went on to say, "The V.FC BocaModem is a good
        choice for those who want 28.8Kbps power now and an
        upgrade to V.34 later."  Boca markets this V.FAST Class
        modem under the Boca Research and the Complete brand names.

        "Best Buy" - PC World (September 1, 1994)
        In its article, "Speed Demons, Top Windows Accelerators,"
        PC World reviews 33 boards with street prices under $600,
        breaking them into three groups that address the needs of
        various Windowns users, and states, "...the overachieving
        Boca Voyager runs away with the prize.  Its features are
        competitive with those of its price peers, yet it performs
        on a par with boards costing $100 to $200 more..."  With a
        headline claiming, "Put Some Fire Under Your Text," the
        Boca Voyager won hands-down.  "It's the best all-around
        board in this price range, offering outstanding performance,
        good software, and the lowest price of any board that has
        broken into our Top 10."

        These two awards join Boca's growing trophy gallery which
        includes many other industry trade press recognitions.
        Seven other awards were won during the second quarter of
        1994 ranging form publications such as BYTE Magazine
        (28.8Kbps modem, a four-star recommended product), CRN
        (Computer Reseller News) Test Center at PC Expo evaluated
        the Multimedia Modem by Boca and pronounced it "...best
        choice for a real multimedia Data/Fax/Voice high speed modem
        for today's business," and PC/Computing Best 200 PC
        products (28.8Kbps modem and the 14.4Kbps modems for both
        Boca and The Complete brand).
