On May 28, 2002, Extended Systems and ViaFone, Inc. entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger and Reorganization. The following information was posted to
the Employee FAQs section of Extended Systems' intranet web site.

Q: ARE THERE ANY MORE DETAILS ON THE EXTENDED SYSTEMS BENEFIT PACKAGE (I.E. 401K
PLAN, FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS, ETC.)?

A: Managers and Human Resources teams from ViaFone and Extended Systems are in
the process of looking at each company's current benefit plans and determining
what the best combination of benefits will be. We have committed to
communicating what the benefit plans will be by the end of July. In general,
Extended Systems offers a competitive benefits package that includes: Medical,
Dental, and Vision Health Benefits; 401K; Flexible Spending Account; Life and
Disability Insurance; Employee Stock Purchase Plan; Education Assistance;
Computer Subsidy; Charitable Contribution Matching; Sick Leave; Vacation and
Holiday Pay.

Q: HAS ANY DECISION BEEN MADE ON THE VACATION POLICY? THE PREVIOUS MOBILEQ
VACATION POLICY ALLOWED EMPLOYEES TO RECEIVE 4 WEEKS OF VACATION AT THE
BEGINNING OF THEIR 3RD YEAR OF SERVICE AND 5 YEARS AFTER 5 YEARS OF SERVICE.
WILL THIS BE HONORED? ALSO, DOES EXTENDED SYSTEMS HAVE THE CONCEPT OF FLOATING
HOLIDAYS? IF SO HOW MANY?

A: We are in the process of identifying what the vacation policy will be as part
of the entire benefits package review. We will be communicating a decision on
the vacation policy by the end of July as part of the overall benefits
communication. Yes, Extended Systems does currently offer 10 paid holidays each
year, which include one or two floating holidays depending on the holiday
schedule for that year.

Q: HOW WILL THE STRIKE PRICE FOR OUR NEW OPTIONS BE DETERMINED? WILL IT BE THE
LOWEST STOCK PRICE OVER A DATE RANGE?

A: Extended Systems' stock options granted to its employees are generally
incentive stock options, or ISO's. ISO's are granted with an exercise price, or
strike price, equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the
grant, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market System.

Q: WAS ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO ALLOW VIAFONE EMPLOYEES TO HAVE A PORTION OF
THEIR EXTENDED SYSTEMS OPTIONS VEST IMMEDIATELY? OR AT LEAST MONTHLY DURING THE
FIRST YEAR JUST LIKE IN THE YEARS FOLLOWING THE FIRST YEAR?

A: At this point in time the plan is to continue with the current vesting
schedule for Extended Systems' Stock Options. Extended Systems' plan provides
that 25% of the options will vest one year from the grant date and 1/48th of the
options will vest monthly thereafter, so that the options will be fully vested
and exercisable four (4) years from the date of grant, subject to the optionee's
continued service to Extended Systems on the relevant vesting dates.


Q: WHEN IS THE EARLIEST THAT WE CAN EXPECT A SALARY REVIEW? THESE WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 2001 AND THEN MOVED TO JUNE 2002 AND NOW SUSPENDED
UNTIL ? . SOME PEOPLE IN THE TORONTO OFFICE HAVE NOT HAD SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR
ALMOST 2 YEARS.

A: Following the close, Extended Systems will be integrating ViaFone employees
into our current quarterly salary review schedule. Factors such as the date of
an employee's last increase, performance, and current salary compared to the
market data are all taken into consideration. Dates of salary increases for
employees will vary based on these factors. Extended Systems' next scheduled
salary review is for raises taking effect October 1, 2002.
