FIRST VIRTUAL COMMUNICATIONS AND CUSEEME NETWORKS ANNOUNCE MERGER

Combination Creates a Market Leader in Rich Media Communications, Capitalizes on
IP Video Expertise and Operational Synergies to Speed Time to Market and
Expand Global Presence

SANTA CLARA, California and NASHUA, New Hampshire - March 22, 2001 - First Virtual Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: FVCX) and CUseeMe® Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUSM) today announced that they have agreed to merge to create one of the market's leading rich media communications providers. The merged company will retain the name First Virtual Communications, Inc. and deliver integrated end-to-end solutions to enterprises and service providers worldwide. By merging both companies' expertise, the combined company will provide a broad range of integrated rich media communications solutions that run seamlessly across multiple network types, including IP, ISDN, ATM, PSTN, and DSL.

The transaction will be effected as a stock for stock merger and is subject to the approval of the stockholders of both companies and to customary closing conditions. First Virtual Communications will issue shares of its common stock representing approximately 47 percent of the combined company, at an exchange ratio of approximately 1.254. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2001. The combined company will be headquartered in Santa Clara, California.

"Video is the critical component that will drive the advancement of rich media communications and this merger brings together two leaders in IP videotelephony. We believe it gives us the critical mass to significantly expand our existing end-to-end rich media platform," said Ralph Ungermann, chairman and CEO of First Virtual Communications. "The merger combines the two crucial elements needed to deliver rich media communications, First Virtual's expertise in broadband rich media networking and CUseeMe Networks' state-of-the-art software-based visual collaboration technologies. As a result, we believe the merged company will be positioned to accelerate the delivery of the market's most robust rich media communications platform."

"By merging our resources and IP video experience, we believe the combined company will be able to pursue a larger market and realize greater opportunity than either company could anticipate on its own," said Killko Caballero, president and CEO of CUseeMe Networks. "Our strengths complement each other well, and our synergy in vision gives us a strong foundation from which we expect to provide market leading solutions to enhance existing forms of communication and make rich media communications more accessible and more broadly used than ever before."

Poised for Growth

With a total estimated market of $34 billion by 2004 and a compound annual growth rate of 53 percent, (according to FAC Equities at First Albany Corporation), rich media communications represents a very large opportunity and the merged company will endeavor for immediate, accelerated growth in this area.

Seven years of experience in broadband rich media communications have enabled First Virtual Communications to become industry leaders in video networking integration. Click to Meet™, First Virtual's flagship offering, enables end users to access video services, including video and audio telephony, data collaboration, and streaming, to create a truly interactive meeting through the desktop or room systems. CUseeMe Networks provides core software technologies that enable voice and visual communications over IP-based networks for B2B and B2C companies, consumers, and web developers. Moving forward, CUseeMe Networks' robust and flexible standard and Microsoft Exchange-based conference servers and web technologies will help lay the foundation for future combined product offerings.

Delivering Operational Efficiencies

By capitalizing on the synergies between First Virtual Communications and CUseeMe Networks, the combined company should be positioned to quickly gain traction in the marketplace. First Virtual Communications and CUseeMe Networks have been partners since 1999 and benefit from an outstanding record of working as a team.

The merger should also position the combined company to improve time to market, reduce costs, benefit from greater margin enhancements, and pursue a faster road to profitability. It is believed the combined engineering organization will be better positioned to deliver new product features and help the company meet overall market demand. The integrated sales force will have broader market coverage and its channels program will feature some of the world's leading integrators, including SBC, EDS, Ericsson, and Verizon. With global operations that include the US, Europe, and Asia, the combined company will have broader resources to support its world-class customer base of service providers and enterprises.

Ralph Ungermann will be executive chairman of the board of the combined company and Killko Caballero will be the new chief executive officer. Ungermann and Caballero will continue as CEOs of their respective companies until the merger is completed. Ungermann and Caballero form a natural alliance, resulting from Ungermann's visionary leadership in networking and Caballero's expertise in IP communications software development. Working as a team, they will continue their commitment to innovation, quality and customer satisfaction.
