SCOTTS 
    VALLEY, CA - (May 1, 2001) - InterWorking Labs, Inc. (IWL), the leading developer 
    of SNMP testing solutions, and Gambit Communications, the leading provider 
    of network management simulation tools, today announced a cross-marketing 
    agreement . Under the terms of the agreement, IWL and Gambit will provide 
    new customers with a coupon redeemable for a limited time-out license of the 
    complimentary company’s software product.
    
     
    
    
For 
    InterWorking Labs customers, a coupon for MIMIC Full will be sent to those 
    interested in obtaining an evaluation copy of the 100 agent license with a 
    90-day time out. MIMIC Full normally retails for $8,995 without the time-out. 
    Gambit customers who indicate interest in the evaluation of SilverCreek, will 
    receive a coupon good for a 30-day license of SilverCreek Standard Edition, 
    which retails for $3,995 without the timeout. 
    
     
    
    
“The 
    synergies of the MIMIC Simulator and SilverCreek products compliment each 
    other very well,” explained Pankaj Shah, Vice President of Marketing of Gambit 
    Communications. “Therefore, it only seemed natural for Gambit and InterWorking 
    Labs to team up to provide a total network management solution.”
    
     
    
    
Chris 
    Wellens, President and CEO of InterWorking Labs, added, “Gambit’s MIMIC product 
    used with SilverCreek, the SNMP Test Suite, provides an expanded test environment 
    for our customers to easily and conveniently run tests against more SNMP agents. 
    We feel this will be a valuable addition to their test infrastructure.”

MIMIC provides an inexpensive way for enterprises, device 
    vendors, management software developers and outsourcers to demo, test, develop, 
    train and certify management applications without purchasing equipment and 
    maintaining labs for those functions. MIMIC 
    has the ability to simulate up to 10,000 devices from one workstation. MIMIC 
    simulations can be distributed over multiple platforms for enterprise simulation 
    testing of even larger environments. MIMIC includes user-friendly wizards 
    for importing new MIBs, recording large networks, creating device simulations 
    and network topologies, and provides full support for SNMP(v1, v2, v3), DHCP
