SEATTLE, Washington - July 26, 2005 - ShopforVPN.com, privately owned subsidiary of Telarus Inc, who provides real-time VPN price quoting through it's patent-pending GeoQuote technology, unveiled its new Agent Back Office at the annual Cognigen National Training Conference.

ShopforVPN.com was one of five companies invited to participate in Cognigen's National Training Conference, an educational seminar attended by the top sales agents in the world.

"For starters, we are humbled that Cognigen would invite us to speak and share our insights with their top agents." commented Adam Edwards, president and CEO of Telarus, Inc. "Many Cognigen agents are earning substantial residual income through our ShopforT1.com and ShopforDSL.com programs, and we hope to bring more agents into this fold over time. With the help of the new agent Back Office that we've put together, agents will have greater control over their business, their information, and their paychecks."

Telarus/ShopforT1.com entered into a commercial services agreement with Cognigen Networks Inc. in September 2003. Under the agreement, Telarus/ShopforT1.com manages, trains, and oversees the sales of commercial products sold by Cognigen agents.

"I derive great pride in sharing the secrets I've learned about internet marketing with Cognigen's top agents" commented Patrick Oborn, CIO of ShopforVPN.com. "Helping agents generate more sales for Cognigen and ShopforT1.com through leverage technology is our primary goal. As we put money in their pockets our distribution channel becomes more robust. It is the secret to our success."

Thomas S. Smith, president and CEO of Cognigen Networks Inc., stated, "This particular event was an overwhelming success for the Company, because it was geared toward the professional salesperson. Often direct sales and Internet marketing companies like ours stage rallies, jamborees and motivational summits that generally do not benefit the professional sales agent. What we accomplished in Seattle was quite different. We armed our sales force with real world sales knowledge and marketing techniques that others pay thousands of dollars for at advanced educational institutions. A highly qualified and superbly competent faculty composed of national trainers and sales executives representing our most prominent vendors, including ShopforT1.com, taught and dialogued with our most experienced and successful agents."
