THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON ITS EXERCISE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), AND NO SALE OR TRANSFER THEREOF MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.



No. W-1                              Right to Purchase up to 425,000 shares of
                                     Common Stock

                       GLOBAL VILLAGE COMMUNICATION, INC.

                          Common Stock Purchase Warrant

        Global Village Communication, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that Boca Research, Inc., a Florida corporation
(the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase
from the Company at any time or from time to time before 5:00 P.M., Boca Raton,
Florida time, on June 18, 2003, up to 425,000 fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company, at a purchase
price per share of $1.0003 (such purchase price per share as adjusted from time
to time as herein provided is referred to herein as the "Purchase Price"). The
number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the Purchase Price are
subject to adjustment as provided herein.

        As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise
requires, have the following respective meanings:

                  (a) The term "Company" shall include Global Village
        Communication, Inc. and any corporation or other entity which shall
        succeed or assume the obligations of the Company hereunder.

                  (b) The term "Common Stock" includes the Company's Common
        Stock, par value $.01 per share, as authorized on the date hereof and
        any other securities into which or for which any of such Common Stock
        may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization,
        reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.

                  (c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other
        than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other
        person (corporate or otherwise) which the holders of the Warrant at any
        time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the
        exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or
        which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in
        exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities
        pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise.

                  (d) The term "Warrant" shall mean this Common Stock Purchase
        Warrant.

                  (e) The term "Warrant Shares" shall mean the shares of Common
        Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

        1.        Exercise of Warrant.

                  1.1. Full Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3,
this Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder by surrender of this
Warrant, with the form of subscription in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Subscription Form") duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its
principal office, accompanied by payment, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price
then in effect.

                  1.2. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part
by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in Section
1.1 except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall
be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
designated by the Holder in the Subscription 



                                                            Exhibit 4.9 - Page 1

<PAGE>   2

Form hereof by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such partial
exercise the Company at its expense will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon
the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of
the Holder or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or
Warrants may still be exercised.

                  1.3 Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive,
without the payment by such holder of any additional consideration, shares equal
to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this
Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the Subscription Form duly executed
by such holder, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue
to such holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is computed using the following formula:

                                   X = Y (A-B)
                                       ------
                                        A

where X = the number of shares to be issued to such holder pursuant to this
Section 1.3.

        Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which the
net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.3.

        A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common
Stock, as at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section
1.3.

        B = the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net
issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.3.

        As used herein, "Fair Market Value" shall mean with respect to each
share of Common Stock as of a date specified below (each, a "Determination
Date"):

                           (i) the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the
                  average of the closing prices on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or
                  other market on which the Common Stock is then traded) over a
                  ten (10) trading day period ending two days before the
                  Determination Date; or

                          (ii) if at any time the Common Stock is not traded on
                  the Nasdaq Stock Market or other market, the Fair Market Value
                  shall be the highest price per share which the Company could
                  obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or
                  director) for Common Stock sold by the Company, from
                  authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by
                  its Board of Directors, unless the Company shall become
                  subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation
                  pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party, in
                  which case the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the
                  value received by the holders of Common Stock pursuant to such
                  merger or acquisition.

                  1.4 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which
such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with
the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to such holder any such rights.

                  1.5 Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or
trust Company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder pursuant to
Section 4.2, such bank or trust Company shall have all the powers and duties of
a warrant agent appointed pursuant to Section 11 and shall accept, in its own
name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled
thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the
case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

        2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the Holder, or as such holder (upon payment by such holder
of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for
the number of fully paid and 

                              Exhibit 4.9 - Page 2
<PAGE>   3

nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder
shall be entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company
shall issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant
to extent required.

        3. Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.;
Reclassification, etc. If at any time or from time to time, the holders of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have received, or (on or after the
record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible to receive)
shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

                (a) other or additional stock or other securities or property
        (other than cash) by way of dividend, or

                (b) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of
        earnings or earned surplus of the Company), or

                (c) other or additional stock or other securities or property
        (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification,
        recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate
        rearrangement,

other than additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued as a
stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are provided
for in Section 5), then and in each such case the Holder, on the exercise hereof
as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and
other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 3) which such holder would hold on the date
of such exercise if on the date hereof he had been the holder of record of the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant and had
thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of
such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and
other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 3) receivable by him as aforesaid during
such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
Sections 4 and 5.

        4. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.

                  4.1. Reorganization. If at any time or from time to time, the
Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into
any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the
dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the Holder, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such
reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such
dissolution as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or
Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such
effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in
connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so
exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Sections 3 and 5.

                  4.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or
cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder after the effective date of
such dissolution pursuant to this Section 4 to a bank or trust Company having
its principal office in New York, New York, as trustee for the Holder.

                  4.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 6.

        5. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events.



                              Exhibit 4.9 - Page 3
<PAGE>   4

                  In the event that the Company shall (i) issue additional
shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii)
combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall,
simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the
then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be
the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be
readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or
events described herein in this Section 5. The Holder shall thereafter, on the
exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive that number of
shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5) be
issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the
Purchase Price which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5)
be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the
date of such exercise.

        6. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a)
will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the
exercise of the Warrants above the amount payable therefor on such exercise; and
(b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
stock on the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

        7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of

                (a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any
        class or securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
        who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any
        right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of
        stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
        any other right, or

                (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
        reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company
        or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to
        or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person,
        or

                (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
        winding-up of the Company, or

                (d) any proposed issue or grant by the Company of any shares of
        stock of any class or any other securities, or any right or option to
        subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
        class or any other securities (other than the issue of Common Stock on
        the exercise of the Warrants),

then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each
Holder a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date on which
any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place,
and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property deliverable on such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (iii) the amount and
character of any stock or other securities, or rights or options with respect
thereto, proposed to be issued or granted, the date of such proposed issue or
grant and the persons or class of persons to whom such proposed issue or grant
is to be offered or made. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to
the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

        8. Concerning registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the
following is applicable:

                  8.1 If at any time prior to the second anniversary of the date
hereof, the Company shall receive from the Holder of the Warrants and/or Warrant
Shares a written request that the Company effect the underwritten registration



                              Exhibit 4.9 - Page 4
<PAGE>   5


of all of the Warrant Shares (subject to Section 1.3), the Company will as soon
as practicable use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such
registration as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of such portion of such Warrant Shares as are specified in such
request. Such notice shall identify the underwriter or underwriters that will
participate in the proposed offering. Neither the Company nor any other
shareholder may include shares in any registration effected under this Section
8.1 without the consent of the Holder to be included in such registration if the
inclusion of shares by the Company or the other shareholders would limit the
number of Warrant Shares sought to be included by the Holder or reduce the
offering price thereof. The costs and expenses of any registration effected in
accordance with this Section 8.1 shall be borne by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares, unless the Company or other shareholders include shares in such
registration, in which case the costs and expenses of such registration shall be
borne pro rata by the Company and all holders (including the Holder including
shares in such registration) based on the number of shares offered by such
persons.

                  8.2 The Company agrees that if at any time prior to the second
anniversary of the date hereof it and/or any of its subsidiaries and/or one or
more of its officers, directors or holders of its outstanding Common Stock
intend to offer equity securities to the public for cash pursuant to any type of
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the
Company will notify all the Holder in writing at least forty-five (45) days
prior to the initial filing of a registration statement relating to such
offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Registration Statement").
Thereafter, the Company will, at its sole cost and expense, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to include in such registration statement, in accordance with
the Act, such Warrants and/or Warrant Shares (including Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of then outstanding Warrants) as the Holder shall request within
thirty (30) days of receipt of notification from the Company of its intention to
file such registration statement; provided, that the inclusion thereof will not
preclude the Company's use of the registration form intended to be utilized by
the Company and further provided, that the selling shareholders will agree, if
requested by the underwriter, not to sell those of their Warrant Shares not
included in such registration statement for ninety (90) days following the
effective date of the registration statement; and further provided that the
foregoing requirements shall not apply in the event that the Company proposes to
file a registration statement in connection with (i) any issuance of securities
pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or other employee benefit plan; or
(ii) any issuance of securities in connection with any business combination,
whether by way of merger, consolidation, purchase of stock or assets or
otherwise. If the proposed registration statement is initiated by the Company
for an underwritten public offering of equity securities for its account and, in
the opinion of the managing underwriter, the inclusion of more than a specified
amount of such equity securities in such registration statement might adversely
affect such offering, holders of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares making requests
pursuant to this Section 8.2 may include Warrant Shares in priority to all other
holders of equity securities of the Company which desire to include Common
Shares therein; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Holder
have a preference to the shares to be issued by the Company under such
registration statement. If the proposed registration statement is initiated by
other holders of equity securities of the Company pursuant to registration
rights provided for in an agreement with the Company and, in the opinion of the
managing underwriter of any underwritten public offering of such equity
securities, the inclusion of more than a specified number of units of equity
securities in such registration statement might adversely affect such offering,
then the Holder may include equity securities in such registration statement in
priority to all other equity securities proposed to be registered by such
initiating holders, holders of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares and such other
holders. Any opinion of a managing underwriter referred to in this Section 8.2
shall be evidenced in a writing delivered to the Holder, if the Holder has
requested inclusion of shares in the related registration statement.

                  8.3 The inclusion or non-inclusion of the Holder's Shares in a
registration pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 shall not adversely affect such
holder's right to have any Warrants and/or Warrant Shares which he then holds,
or Warrant Shares which he may hold upon the conversion of a Warrant which he
then holds, included in an additional registration or registrations pursuant to
Section 8.1 or 8.2.

                  8.4 The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to the end that each registration of the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares
required to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 8 shall become
effective as promptly as practicable and shall remain effective until the
earlier to occur of the second anniversary of the date hereof, or the Holder has
disposed of the equity securities registered thereunder. Each registration and
blue sky qualification pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be at the sole cost and
expense of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to bear the expense of any underwriting discounts or commissions with
respect to the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares covered by the Registration
Statement.

                  8.5 In connection with each registration hereunder, the
Company agrees (i) to supply the Holder whose securities are being registered
with such number of copies of preliminary and final prospectuses as such holders
shall 


                              Exhibit 4.9 - Page 5
<PAGE>   6



reasonably request, and (ii) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
qualify the securities being registered under the securities or blue sky laws of
such states as the holder may reasonably request. The Holder agrees to furnish
to the Company such information in connection with such registration statement
as the Company may reasonably request.

                  8.6 The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each holder
whose Warrants and/or Warrant Shares are included in a Registration Statement as
herein provided, and each underwriter, within the meaning of the Act, who may
purchase from or sell for the Holder from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or any Registration Statement under the Act or
any prospectus included therein required to be filed or furnished by reason of
this Section 8 or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission based upon information furnished or required to be furnished in
writing to the Company by the Holder or each person, if any, who controls the
Holder and underwriter within the meaning of such Act; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obliged to so indemnify any such holder or underwriter
or controlling person unless such holder or underwriter shall at the same time
indemnify the Company, its directors, each officer signing the registration
statement and each persons, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of such Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any prospectus required
to be filed or furnished by reason of this Section 8 or caused by any omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company
by any such holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.

                  8.7 The Company's agreements with respect to Warrants or
Warrant Shares in this Section 8 shall continue in effect regardless of the
exercise and surrender of this Warrant so long as the Warrants or Warrant Shares
are outstanding.

        9. Reservation of Stock, etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrants.

        10. Exchange of Warrants. On surrender for exchange of any Warrant,
properly endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense will issue and
deliver to or on the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant or warrants of
like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (on payment by such
holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

        11. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant,
on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in
form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on
surrender and cancellation of such warrant, the Company at its expense will
execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

        12. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to each holder of
a Warrant, appoint an agent having an office in either Miami, Florida or New
York, New York for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on
the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to Section 1, exchanging Warrants pursuant
to Section 10, and replacing Warrants pursuant to Section 11, or any of the
foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the
