Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

   Item 4 is amended by adding thereto the following paragraph:

        Metromedia intends, subject to market conditions, to
convert all of its shares of Series 1 Cumulative Senior Perpetual
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise all of its warrants and 
sell (i) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such 
conversion and exercise and (ii) all of the shares of Common 
Stock owned by Metromedia, pursuant to a secondary offering 
to be managed by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities 
Corporation ("DLJ").  Metromedia and DLJ have reached an 
agreement in principle pursuant to which DLJ has agreed to act 
as underwriter for such shares of Common Stock, subject to 
market conditions, in a secondary offering.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
        Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the
        Issuer.

   Item 6 is amended by adding thereto the following paragraph:

        Metromedia intends, subject to market conditions, to
convert all of its shares of Series 1 Cumulative Senior Perpetual
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise all of its warrants and 
sell (i) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such

market conditions, in a secondary offering.  In connection with 
the offering of such shares of Common Stock, Metromedia and the Issuer
have also reached an agreement in principle, pursuant to which 
Metromedia will receive from the Issuer a one-time, non-recurring
payment of $15.0 million for exercising its conversion option, 
representing a discount to the minimum nominal dividends that would 
have been payable on the Series 1 Cumulative Senior Perpetual 
Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the September 15, 1996 
optional call date of approximately $26.6 million (which amount
includes the $24.5 million annual dividend requirement plus
accrued dividends to the September 15, 1996 optional call date).

                 AMENDMENT No. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D


        THIS Amendment No. 2 supplements Schedule 13D (the
"Schedule 13D") filed on May 22, 1992, as amended by Amendment
No. 1 dated October 28, 1992 by Metromedia Communications
Corporation ("MCC"), in the following respects only (capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Schedule 13D):


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

        Item 4 is amended by replacing the last paragraph
thereof with the following paragraph:

   On January 18, 1993, MCC and the Issuer entered into a
   merger agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto as
   Exhibit M) which provides that MCC will merge into
   Resurgens.  The terms of the transaction are set forth
   in the merger agreement.  The closing of the
   transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

        Item 4 is further amended by adding thereto the
following paragraph:

   Metromedia Company, the parent of MCC, as successor to
   ITT Communications Services, Inc. acquired currently
   exercisable warrants (at $10.00 per share) to purchase
   12,941 shares of Common Stock in connection with the
   Issuer's plan of reorganization.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing the first
paragraph thereto with the following:

   (a)  MCC beneficially owns 3,892,251 shares of Common Stock,
        which figure includes (i) currently exercisable
        warrants (at $16.00 per share) to acquire 1,250,000
        shares of Common Stock; (ii) current exercisable

        Stock which is the number of shares of Common Stock,

                 AMENDMENT No. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D


        THIS Amendment No. 1 supplements Schedule 13D (the
"Schedule 13D") filed on May 22, 1992 by Metromedia
Communications Corporation ("MCC"), in the following respects
only (capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D):


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

        Item 4 is am ended by adding the following to the
fourth paragraph thereof:

   On August 12, 1992, the Resurgens' shareholders approved an
   amendment to the company's articles of incorporation to
   effect a recapitalization through a one-for-four reverse
   stock split (the "Stock Split") pursuant to which every four
   shares of Resurgens' outstanding stock on such date become
   and will be exchanged for one new share of Common Stock.
   The Stock Split effectively reduced the number of shares
   outstanding but did not affect the number of shares
   authorized for issuance.  Therefore, as a result of the
   Stock Split, Resurgens had a sufficient number of authorized
   but unissued shares to enable MCC to exercise the Warrants.
   As a result of the Stock Split, the Note is convertible into
   1,379,310 shares of Common Stock, the $4.00 Warrants are now
   exercisable into 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at an
   exercise price of $16.00 per share and the $4.35 Warrants
   are now exercisable into 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at
   an exercise price of $17.40 per share.

        Item 4 is further amended by replacing the last
paragraph thereof with the following paragraph:

   On October 23, 1992, MCC and the Issuer entered into a
   letter of intent (a copy of which is attached hereto as
   Exhibit K) which provides that MCC and Resurgens will merge
   into a newly formed entity.  The terms of the transaction
   are set forth in Exhibit L.  The consummation of the
   transaction is subject to the execution and delivery of
   definitive documentation.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing the first
paragraph thereto with the following:

        (a)  MCC beneficially owns 3,879,310 shares of Common
             Stock, which figure includes currently exercisable
             warrants (at $16.00 per share) to acquire
             1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, current

<PAGE>

             exercisable warrants to acquire 1,250,000 shares
             of Common Stock at $17.40 per share, and 1,379,310
             shares of Common Stock which is the number of
             shares of Common Stock into which the Note is
             convertible.  Such 3,879,310 shares constitutes
             approximately 38% of the outstanding shares of
             Common Stock of the Issuer: (assuming exercise of
             the Warrants, and conversion of the Note held by
             MCC).


Item  6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
             Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the
             Issuer.

        Item 6 is hereby amended by adding thereto the
following paragraph:

   On October 23, 1992, MCC and the Issuer entered into a
   letter of intent (a copy of which is attached hereto as
   Exhibit K) which provides that MCC and Resurgens will merge
   into a newly formed entity.  The terms of the transaction
   are set forth in Exhibit K.  The consummation of the
   transaction is subject to the execution and delivery of
   definitive documentation.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

        The following exhibits are annexed hereto:

        Exhibit K - Letter of Intent; and

        Exhibit L - Press Release.

subsidiary, Com Systems, Inc. to MCC.

          As additional consideration for the Loan, pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit G, Resurgens delivered to MCC currently exercisable
warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share.  In addition, the Issuer has
agreed to use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval on
or before November 1, 1992, to increase its authorized capital in
order to grant to MCC warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, at an exercise price of $4.35 per share.  The
parties executed a Registration Rights Agreement, attached hereto
as Exhibit J, with respect to the warrants and the Shares of
Common Stock into which the Note is convertible.

          Management of MCC has had preliminary discussions with
management of the Issuer regarding the possibility of a business
combination of the two companies.  No determination has been made
at this time as to if any such transaction will be pursued by
either the Issuer or MCC.  Except as described above, MCC does
not presently contemplate either the acquisition of Common Stock

(whether from the Issuer, open market purchases or otherwise).
However, MCC intends continually to review and evaluate the
Issuer in light of future developments, (including but not
limited to the economy, generally, conditions in the long
distance industry, market conditions and the financial condition
and business prospects of the Issuer).  Other than as stated
above, MCC has no plans or proposals which relate to or which
would result in any of the actions or proposals in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


Item 5.  Interest In Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  MCC beneficially owns 10,517,241 shares of Common
          Stock, which figure includes currently exercisable (at
          $4.00 per share) warrants to acquire 5,000,000 shares
          of Common Stock(the "$4.00 Warrants") (a copy of the
          Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit H) and 5,517,241
          shares of Common Stock, which is the number of shares
          of Common Stock into which the Note is convertible.
          The Issuer also agreed, upon shareholder approval which
          it expects to obtain on or before November 1, 1992, to
          grant to MCC warrants to acquire 5,000,000 shares of
          Common Stock at $4.35 per share (the "$4.35  Warrants")
          (a copy of the Warrant is attached hereto as
          Exhibit I).  Such 10,517,241 shares (which number does
          not include the $4.35 Warrants) constitutes
          approximately 29% of the outstanding shares of Common
          Stock of the Issuer (assuming exercise of the $4.00
          Warrants and conversion of the Note held by MCC).

     (b)  MCC has the sole power to vote and to dispose of such
          shares and warrants.


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
         with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer.

          On May 12, 1992, MCC loaned (the "Loan") to the Issuer
and certain of its affiliates, the principal amount of $20
million pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of April 6, 1992
and related loan documentation, dated as of May 12, 1992, by and
among the Issuer, Com Systems, Network I and Network II (the
Issuer, Com Systems, Network I and Network II, (collectively,
hereinafter the "Borrowers").  The Loan is evidenced by a
collateralized term note (the "Note") and is secured by the 1+
Customer Base of the Borrowers (the "Security"), which includes
all of the past, present and future customers, contracts,
agreements or arrangements and leads for prospective customers
and contracts, agreements or arrangements and customer lists of
each Borrower.  The Note is convertible, at any time, into
5,517,241 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

<PAGE>

          As additional consideration for the Loan, pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement (Exhibit G), Resurgens delivered to MCC
currently exercisable warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, exercisable at $4.00 per share.  Pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, the Issuer agreed to use its best efforts to
obtain shareholder approval on or before November 2, 1992 to
increase its authorized capital in order to grant to MCC warrants
to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at
$4.35 per share.  The parties executed a Registration Rights
Agreement (Exhibit J), with respect to the Common Stock of the
Issuer it may hold as a result of exercising the Warrants and/or
converting the Note.  Such agreement affords MCC certain demand
and piggyback registration rights relating to such securities.

          Certain members of Management of the Issuer entered
into a Negative Pledge Agreement (Exhibit F) whereby such members
agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer their respective
interests in the Issuer during the term of the Loan Agreement.

          The Note is due and payable on the earlier of May 12,
1997 or in accordance with certain put and call options set forth
in the Loan Agreement.  MCC may accelerate payment of the Note
upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default (as set forth in
the Loan Agreement).

          A copy of the Loan Agreement and related loan
documentation is attached hereto as Exhibits B through J.
