FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The information set forth
herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements
about expected future financial and operating performance, net proceeds
received from the sale by NMS Communications Corporation (NMS) of its NMS
Communications Platforms business to Dialogic Corporation (Dialogic),
operating expenditures in connection with our restructuring following the sale
of the NMS Communications Platforms business to Dialogic, and demand for and
performance of our products and growth opportunities. These statements are based on management's
expectations as of the date of this presentation and are subject to uncertainty
and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these
expectations due to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to,
approval of the proposed sale of the NMS Communications Platforms business to
Dialogic by NMSs stockholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals,
closing of the proposed sale within the anticipated timeframe, uncertainty in
communications spending, the implementation of NMSs strategy to focus
exclusively on the LiveWire Mobile business, the implementation of NMSs
strategic repositioning and market acceptance of its managed services strategy,
the receipt of less proceeds from the proposed sale of the NMS Communications
Platforms business than is currently expected, the incurrence of greater
restructuring costs than is currently expected, quarterly fluctuations in
financial results, NMS's ability to exploit fully the value of its technology
and its strategic partnerships and alliances, the availability of products from
NMSs contract manufacturer and product component vendors and other risks. These and other risks are detailed from time
to time in NMSs filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC), including NMSs annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2007. In addition, while management
may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, management
specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates
change. Any reference to our website in
this presentation is not intended to incorporate the contents thereof into this
presentation or any other public announcement.

SPECIAL MEETING IN TWO WEEKS
PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY
November 5,
2008
Dear Stockholder:
The Special
Meeting of Stockholders of NMS Communications Corporation to be held on November 19,
2008 is rapidly approaching. According to our latest records, we still have not
yet received your vote for this important meeting.
Your vote is important. Please vote your proxy or voting instruction form
today.
As previously
stated, we have agreed to sell our NMS Communications Platforms business to
Dialogic Corporation, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 12,
2008. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, we will sell the business to Dialogic for $28,000,000. The proposed
Asset Sale cannot be consummated until such time as we receive not less than
the minimum number of votes necessary to adopt and approve the Asset Sale.
Your vote is
important at this special meeting. The approval of the proposed Asset Sale and
Asset Purchase Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of NMS Communications common stock entitled
to vote as of the record date. Accordingly, if an NMS Communications
stockholder fails to vote at the NMS Communications meeting, fails to return a proxy
or abstains, that will have the same effect as a vote against the Asset Sale
and Asset Purchase Agreement.
For
the reasons set forth in the proxy statement dated October 20, 2008, our
board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the adoption and
approval of the Asset Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement, FOR the approval of
the Name Change Charter Amendment, FOR the approval of the Reverse Split
Charter Amendment and FOR the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if
necessary, to solicit additional proxies.
We have enclosed a
duplicate proxy card for your convenience. Please participate by voting your
shares today by telephone, via the internet, or please sign, date and return
the enclosed proxy or voting instruction form in the postage-paid return
envelope provided.
If you have any questions or need
assistance voting your proxy, please call D. F. King & Co., Inc.,
which is assisting NMS Communications, toll-free at 1-800-578-5378.
Thank you for voting and for your cooperation
and continued support.
