Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Viasource Communications, Inc., a New
Jersey corporation (the "Company"), with respect to the filing by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
covering the issuance of up to 5,658,840 shares of the Company's shares of
Common Stock, no par value (the "Shares").
Based on our review of the Company's organizational documents, the
option plans pursuant to which the Shares are issuable and such other documents
and records as we have deemed necessary and appropriate, we are of the opinion
that the Shares will, when sold, be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion of counsel as Exhibit 5.1 to
the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
AKERMAN, SENTERFITT & EIDSON, P.A.
/s/ Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson, P.A.
