         Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies/Gentlemen:

         We are acting as corporate  counsel to ACI  Telecentrics,  Incorporated
(the "Company") in connection  with the original  registration by the Company on
Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement")  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") of options and 430,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

         In  acting  as such  counsel  and for the  purpose  of  rendering  this
opinion,  we have reviewed  copies of the  following,  as presented to us by the
Company:

         1.       The Company's Restricted Articles of Incorporation.

         2.       The Company's Restated Bylaws.

         3.       Certain  corporate   resolutions   adopted  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors and  shareholders  of the Company  pertaining to the
                  adoption  and  amendment  of the Plan and the  increase in the
                  number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder.

         4.       The Plan.

         5.       The Registration Statement.

         Based on, and subject to, the  foregoing and upon  representations  and
information  provided by the Company or its  officers  or  directors,  it is our
opinion as of this date that:

         1.       The Shares are validly  authorized by the  Company's  Restated
                  Articles of Incorporation.

         2.       Upon  issuance and delivery of the Shares  against  receipt by
                  the Company of the  consideration  for the Shares  pursuant to
                  the terms of the Plan,  the  Shares  will be  validly  issued,
                  fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby  consent to the  filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                       Very truly yours,

                       FREDRIKSON & BYRON, P.A.
