Comdial Introduces New Product for Real EstateMarket.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 1999--

Comdial Corporation (Nasdaq: CMDL) announced today that it has selected the real estate industry as its next vertical market.

The Company is working with industry leaders to create an integrated communications solution that

specifically addresses the needs of real estate offices and agents. The product is being demonstrated at the National Realtors Association trade show in Orlando, Florida this week.

The new product is a computer telephony application designed to address the unique needs of both real estate brokers and agents. It is a complete communications solution incorporating the features and functions that real estate brokers and agents have indicated are most important. For agents, features include one-number follow-me access, cellular phone integration and pager integration. For brokers, the product includes several advanced features that allows the effectiveness of advertising to be monitored and integrates with the majority of back office software programs.

Comdial's award winning Impact FXS computer telephony system and Corporate Office NT voice-processing system provide the perfect platform on which to build a solution for the real estate industry. William G. Mustain, President and CEO of Comdial said, "Based on market data, a product for the real estate industry was the best choice for our next vertical market. Since its introduction in 1998, the Impact FXS has already been installed in 140 different real estate offices. We believe that one of our greatest strengths as a company is to effectively integrate products to create unique applications for vertical markets and our newest product does just that. It integrates easily with most back office software and we will begin the first field trial installation this month."
