 ONLINE SERVICE OFFERS EASY ACCESS TO THE
 INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY FOR THE BLIND
 COMMUNITY

 York, PA -- June 15, 1994 -- Cyberia Communications, Inc.
 announced today that it will expand its services to offer a blind
 user interface, making its online service more easily accessible
 to the blind community. In the fast paced world of online
 services, major growth and expansion has been seen in graphical
 user interfaces. New graphical interfaces create an easy to use
 "point and click" environment for sighted users, but have ignored
 the community of blind users who are also trying to access the
 online world. When a user logs into Cyberia they will be prompted
 with a choice of three interfaces: Normal Emulation, Graphical
 Rip Emulation, and Easy Access for the Blind Emulation. When a
 user chooses the blind interface, all graphics are stripped, and
 the menus are presented in an easily readable format for
 interfacing with the various screen reading devices that are
 currently available. The new blind interface is currently being
 beta tested, and is scheduled for release on June 20th.

 In conjunction with the release of its blind user interface,
 Cyberia will be creating a specialized section where blind users
 can discuss topics of interest with other blind users from around
 the globe, and obtain software for their home computer specially
 made for easy blind usage. Software programs available include
 screen readers, braille translators for word processors, speech
 interfaces for WordPerfect, lists of books available in braille,
 talking checkbook management programs, and other useful utilities.

 "We are very excited to be able to make the online world more
 easily accessible to this community." said Sara Viener, Vice
 President of Cyberia Communications. "Our goal when we started
 Cyberia was to make the online world more user friendly. We have
 been very successful at doing this for the visual community, and
 we are proud to be able to do the same for the blind community."

 Cyberia Communications, Inc., based in York, PA, is the area's
 fastest-growing provider of online services. The Company offers
 more than 2,000 callers a wide variety of services, including
 electronic mail, global messaging, multiuser games, software,
 computing support, interactive magazines and newspapers, and
 real-time chat lounges. Founded in 1993, The Company specializes
 in making the online world as easy as possible for all users.

 trial account on Cyberia by dialing (717)840-1444 with their
 telecommunications software, or may call for voice support at
