                      LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES EXTENDS
                     TENDER OFFER FOR OCTEL STOCK

FOR RELEASE:  Thursday, August 28, 1997


     MURRAY HILL, N.J. -- Lucent Technologies and Octel Communications
Corporation today announced that Lucent's tender offer for all
outstanding shares of Octel's common stock has been extended until
5:00 p.m. Eastern time, Friday, September 12, 1997. Lucent and Octel
said the offer was extended because the two companies are still in the
process of responding to a second request for information from the
Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

     The companies noted that they continue to be confident that
Lucent's acquisition of Octel will be completed and added that the
tender offer would be extended again, if appropriate.

     Lucent's tender offer was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m.
Eastern time, Friday, August 29, 1997. The depositary for the offer,
The Bank of New York, has advised Lucent that 21,162,529 shares have been
tendered as of the close of business on Wednesday, August 27, 1997.
