             FUTURELINK COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF COMPUTER NETWORKS,
                           INC. OF PLEASANTON, CALIF.


IRVINE, CALIF - NOV. 8, 1999 - FutureLink Corp. (OTC BB: FLNK), the leading
Application Service Provider (ASP) with the largest installed base of
application hosting platforms, today announced it has completed the acquisition
of Computer Networks, Inc. (CNI).  The acquisition of the Pleasanton, Calif.
company establishes FutureLink as one of the world's largest companies
implementing ASP platforms and hosted solutions.

The acquisition increases FutureLink's revenues by $7.5 million in 1999.  As a
result, annualised FutureLink revenues, including the completed acquisitions of
CNI, Micro Visions of Irvine, Calif., and the announced acquisition of Async
Technologies, Inc. (ATI) of Detroit, Mich., will increase to over $40 million
and the firm's total number of employees will increase to over 300.

"The acquisition of CNI enhances our ability to help small to mid-sized
companies reduce their total cost of technology ownership through the ASP
model," said Philip R. Ladouceur, CEO and Executive Chairman of FutureLink.
"This and future acquisitions will provide FutureLink with the technical and
management expertise to achieve our aggressive growth objectives."

William Botti, CNI's founder and CEO, will assume the newly created role of
Senior Vice President of FutureLink's Application Hosting Platforms Division.
Botti, who reports to FutureLink President and COO Glen C. Holmes, will oversee
the consulting organization responsible for building application server farms
and providing Citrix application server software integration services.

"I am very pleased to join the Futurelink team and become part of the leader in
the ASP marketplace", said William Botti, founder and CEO of CNI.  "As the
number one Citrix reseller in North America, FutureLink will continue to
provide Application Hosting Platforms and Application Integration Services to
corporations while using our years of experience in these advanced
technologies."

In mid-October a syndicate, led by Pequot Capital Management, committed $50
million to FutureLink in exchange for newly issued shares of Common Stock and
Warrants.  Simultaneously, the company announced that Philip R. Ladouceur,
former Executive Chairman of MetroNet Communications Corp., had been elected
FutureLink's CEO, in addition to his previous role as Executive Chairman.
