Item 5.  Other Events.

      On December 29,  1998,  the Superior  Court of New Jersey  dismissed  with
prejudice the previously  disclosed  litigation  between Revision LLC and Gold &
Appel Transfer, S.A. and Total-Tel USA Communications,  Inc. (the "Company") and
ordered that all  outstanding  Orders in this case which enjoined  Revision LLC,
Gold & Appel Transfer, S.A., Walter Anderson, Warren Feldman, or Solomon Feldman
from purchasing  additional shares in the Company be rescinded and of no further
force and  effect.  A copy of such Order is  attached as an Exhibit to this Form
8-K.  Obtaining such Order was a condition to closing the  previously  disclosed
settlement and stock purchase  agreements  among the parties to this  litigation
and certain of their  affiliates.  In  addition,  the waiting  period  under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976, as amended, terminated on January 11, 1999. While
no assurance can be given if or when such a closing will occur, the Company does
expect the  closing  to occur  within one week of the date of the filing of this
Form 8-K.

      On January 5, 1999, David Hess resigned as President of the Company.
