APPROVE INFORMATION OF NX NETWORKS
--NEW COMPANY TO LEAD IN BURGEONING SECURE INTERNET TELEPHONY MARKET--
HERNDON, VA, AND WESTBORO, MA, DECEMBER 22, 1999 - Leaders in Internet telephony
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Virtual Private Networking (VPN), NETRIX
Corporation (NASDAQ: NTRX) and OpenRoute Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPEN), today
announced that shareholders of each company have voted to approve the merger of
NETRIX and OpenROUTE at separate shareholders meetings. This approval concludes
the merger transaction of the companies. The combined company will begin doing
business as NX Networks (pronounced NEX) on December 23, 1999. NX Networks will
trade under the NASDAQ symbol NTRX.
On September 30, 1999, NETRIX announced it had signed a definitive agreement to
merge with OpenROUTE. The agreement received regulatory approval in November,
and approval by a majority of NETRIX and OpenROUTE's shareholders in the two
meetings held today.
"We have combined our award-winning technologies and experienced teams to lead
the explosively growing IP telephony market, which is expected to soar to more
than $10 billion by 2005 according to market researcher Frost & Sullivan,"
stated Steven T. Francesco, NX Networks Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"We will deliver highly secure, `infrastructure agnostic' solutions that can
handle both voice and data and be deployed over virtually any network."
Bryan R. Holley, President and Chief Operating Officer commented, "NX Networks
will take leadership in the emerging VoVPN market by removing the "stumbling
blocks" of Internet Telephony adoption, such as quality and security. Our first
product, which we showed two weeks ago at CTI Expo is the 3000 Series, the
industry's first VoVPN gateway router which combines superior voice quality with
advanced VPN envryption, compression and authentication technology."

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
of Netrix as of September 30, 1999 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations of Netrix for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 illustrate the effect of
the merger with OpenROUTE. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet assumes that the merger had been completed as of September 30,
1999 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
assume that the merger was completed as of the beginning of the fiscal year
presented, January 1, 1998. Certain reclassifications have been made to
OpenROUTE's financial statements to conform to Netrix's presentation.
Under the terms of the OpenROUTE transaction, the holders of OpenROUTE
common stock and stock options received one share of Netrix common stock for
each OpenROUTE share converted.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
Netrix accounted for the merger under the purchase method of
accounting, with Netrix being the acquiror for accounting purposes. Immediately
following the merger, Netrix shares held by Netrix stockholders represented
approximately 45% of the outstanding shares of Netrix. The board of directors of
the combined companies consists of six former Netrix directors and two OpenROUTE
directors with the Chief Executive Officer of Netrix, Steven T. Francesco,
serving as Chairman of the Board of the combined companies' board of directors.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of
Netrix will be brought forward at their net book values, a new basis will be
established for OpenROUTE's assets and liabilities and any excess of the
consideration over the fair value of OpenROUTE's assets and liabilities will be
accounted for as goodwill. The revenues and expenses of Netrix and OpenROUTE
will be consolidated from the date of consummation of the merger.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available
information and assumptions that Netrix management believes are reasonable and
certain information provided by OpenROUTE management. Netrix will account for
the merger based upon the estimated fair market value of the net tangible
assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition.
The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements represent the preliminary determination of these
adjustments based upon available information. Netrix cannot assure you that the
actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
For illustrative purposes, Netrix has made a preliminary allocation of
excess cost over estimated net assets acquired to goodwill as OpenROUTE's assets
and liabilities are estimated to approximate fair value. The final allocation of
purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired will depend upon the final
purchase price and final estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities of
9
<PAGE>
OpenROUTE at the closing date, Netrix will undertake a study to determine the
fair values of assets and liabilities acquired and will allocate the purchase
price accordingly. Netrix believes that the carrying value of current assets and
current liabilities approximates fair value and that the excess of cost over
historical net assets acquired will be allocated to property and equipment,
goodwill and other identifiable intangibles. However, there can be no assurance
that the actual allocation will not differ significantly from the pro forma
allocation.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are
not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results
that might have been achieved if the merger with OpenROUTE had been consummated
as of the indicated dates. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of Netrix and OpenROUTE, together with the related notes thereto,
which are incorporated by reference into this registration statement.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(1) Information obtained from the historical unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations of Netrix.
(2) Information obtained from the historical unaudited consolidated
statement of operations of OpenROUTE.
(3) Information obtained from the historical consolidated statement of
operations of Netrix.
(4) Information obtained from the historical statement of operations of
OpenROUTE.
(5) Reflects the amortization expense of the excess of cost over historical
net assets acquired in the merger by use of the straight-line method
over 4 years.
(6) The average common shares outstanding used in calculating basic and
diluted pro forma loss per common share are calculated assuming that
the estimated number of shares of Netrix common stock to be issued in
the merger was outstanding from the beginning of the periods presented.
For purposes of this Pro Forma Financial Information, the Company
assumed that it would issue approximately 15.9 million in connection
with the OpenROUTE acquisition. Options and warrants to purchase shares
of common stock were not included in computing pro forma diluted
earnings per common share because their inclusion would result in a
smaller loss per common share.
