Mango and US Online Announce Unique Web Caching Service

Westborough, MA - November 15, 1999: MangoSoft Inc. (NASDAQ BB: MGOF) and US Online have jointly announced a partnership where MangoSoft's innovative web caching software, CacheLink, will be made available as a service offering to US Online's large and growing private network of ISPs. Steve Klock, CEO of US Online says, "We are excited about the prospect of working with MangoSoft to deliver their unique desktop caching solution through the US Online Network. MangoSoft's technology brings the Internet closer to the subscriber, which fits well with US Online's goal to empower small ISPs and small businesses through Internet-based services and products."

Web caching is a technology receiving industry attention for its ability to alleviate Internet traffic congestion. Caching is most effective when the content is stored close to the end user. MangoSoft's patent-pending technology uniquely brings caching directly to the desktop user. CacheLink complements the browser cache in each PC by efficiently linking them together into a single cache pool for all systems. CacheLink retrieves frequently viewed web pages from other CacheLink users on your LAN instead of from the Internet, saving both time and bandwidth. Performance measurements show CacheLink delivers web content, on average, up to 30 times faster than a 56K shared-modem on web cache hits.

US Online will offer the CacheLink service to their subscriber base via a software rental arrangement that is unique to US Online. This service significantly enhances US Online's Virtual IT/xSP solutions by offering a tool that improves performance and customer satisfaction with these services.

"This partnership represents a great example of the industry trend towards subscription based software rental. We are excited about the opportunity to provide our solution through US Online, the industry's largest private network of local ISPs." says Dale Vincent CEO of MangoSoft.
