ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

               On September 5, 1997, the Company filed a complaint for
               declaratory judgment against AudioFAX IP, LLP ("AudioFAX") in the
               United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.  The
               Company sought declaratory relief that current FaxSav service
               offerings do not infringe any valid claims in AudioFAX's patents
               and that certain claims of AudioFAX's patents are invalid.  On
               September 8, 1997, AudioFAX filed a complaint against the Company
               in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
               Georgia alleging patent infringement, seeking a preliminary and
               permanent injunction against the Company's alleged infringement
               and damages.  On February 17, 1998, the Company filed an answer
               to the complaint in the Georgia action, denying all allegations
               of wrongdoing asserted by AudioFAX.

               Effective September 22, 1998, the Company settled all outstanding
               litigation with AudioFAX.  As part of the settlement, the Company
               received from AudioFAX a fully paid-up license to certain patents
               relating to store-and-forward technologies and issued to AudioFAX
               275,000 shares of FaxSav Common Stock as a licensing fee.  Under
               certain circumstances, the Company may be required to issue
               additional shares of Common Stock or pay additional cash.

               The Company has escrowed an additional 100,000 shares of FaxSav
               Common Stock to facilitate compliance if and when it is required
               to make additional payments of stock or cash.  The Company has
               undertaken to file a registration statement covering resale of
               its shares by AudioFAX.  Upon effectiveness, AudioFAX has agreed
               not to sell on a weekly basis more than the greater of 40,000
               shares or 10% of the prior week's trading volume.
