BOSTON,
MA. January 28, 2003 - Tzolkin Corporation,
provider of the TZO Dynamic DNS Service, today
announced its agreement with NETGEAR, a worldwide
provider of easy-to-use, high performance networking
products. Under this agreement, NETGEAR has
integrated the award-winning TZO Dynamic DNS client
software into its business-oriented routers and has
begun shipping these routers today. |

The TZO
Dynamic DNS Service allows small businesses,
associations, and individuals to host a web site,
email server, FTP server and more on their own
systems and at their own locations whether they have
a static or dynamic IP address. Having a dynamic IP
address typically prevents users from running an
Internet server. But the TZO service detects the
user's current IP address and, when it changes,
automatically updates the user's DNS record with the
new IP address. The reliability of the TZO service is
assured through a distributed Dynamic DNS server
system with redundant DNS servers in 5 different
locations throughout North America. |

"Businesses
with broadband connections are exactly the users
who can best benefit from our arrangement to
integrate our TZO client software with the NETGEAR
products," said Gary Cook, CEO of Tzolkin
Corporation. "The fastest growing market segment
for networking products is the small to medium
sized business market and NETGEAR is a recognized
leader in this market segment. Combining our TZO
service with the NETGEAR networking products is a
winning combination that helps both our companies
offer significant added value to our
customers."

NETGEAR
routers, such as the FVL328 ProSafe High-Speed VPN
Firewall router, provide firewall protection while
allowing users to connect multiple PCs to a broadband
connection easily and inexpensively. With the TZO
client embedded in the router, the router detects
when the user's IP address changes and enables the
TZO service to update the user's IP address in the
DNS record. |

"The
TZO Service benefits NETGEAR's business customers by
resolving a common issue associated with changing IP
addresses", says Kevin Allan, Product Line Manager
for Business Internet Access and Security Products.
"Now customers can use devices such as web servers
with the confidence of a reliable DNS resolution by
using a domain name rather than the changing IP
address." |
