                   DIALOGIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY
                                REVENUE ESTIMATE



PARSIPPANY,  NEW JERSEY - March 27, 1997 - Dialogic Corporation  (NASDAQ:  DLGC)
today stated that it expects revenues and earnings for the first quarter to fall
below analysts' forecasts.  Currently available data indicate that first quarter
1997 sales are likely to be in the range of $54 to $57 million, as compared with
$48.7 million during the first quarter of 1996. Sales at this level would result
in earnings falling below the analysts' consensus earnings estimates of $.31 per
share, as reported in First Call. Dialogic operates on little or no backlog, and
a  significant  amount of its orders are  typically  both  received  and shipped
within  a  day.  Therefore,  sales  for  the  quarter  will  not  be  accurately
determinable until the final sales data for the quarter are complete.

Edward Jordan, Chief Financial Officer, said, "1997 has started more slowly than
we  anticipated.  Expenses have generally been in line with  expectations so far
during the first quarter."

The statements  regarding  financial data contained  herein are forward looking.
For a variety of reasons, including the fact that the Company operates on little
or no  backlog,  actual  results  might  differ  materially  from the  Company's
forward-looking  statements.  Unanticipated developments in the remainder of the
quarter might also cause actual results to differ  materially from the Company's
forward-looking  statements.  Dialogic  plans to release its  complete  earnings
report for the quarter in the ordinary course on approximately April 16, 1997.

Dialogic   Corporation  is  the  leading   manufacturer  of  high   performance,
standards-based  computer telephone (CT) components.  Dialogic products are used
in voice,  fax,  data,  voice  recognition,  speech  synthesis  and call  center
management CT  applications.  The Company is  headquartered  in Parsippany,  New
Jersey, with regional headquarters in Tokyo, Japan,  Brussels,  Belgium, and has
sales offices worldwide.
