                       Report of Independent Accountants


February 26, 1999

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Frontier Corporation Employees' Retirement Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits, with fund information present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Frontier
Corporation Employees' Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
Schedules I, II and III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").  The fund information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information, and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits, with fund information is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits
and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  Schedules I, II
and III and the fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

Frontier Corporation
Employees' Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997                                   Page 6

1. Description of the Plan

   The Frontier Corporation Employees' Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a
   defined contribution plan established by the Board of Directors of Frontier
   Corporation (the "Company") effective March 1, 1994.  The Plan is subject to
   the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
   1974 ("ERISA").  The Plan provides participants the option of having their
   basic and supplemental contributions to the Plan made on a salary reduction
   basis and on a deferred tax basis.  The principal provisions of the Plan are
   described below and are provided for general information purposes only.
   Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
   description of the Plan's provisions.

   During 1998, the Global Center, Inc. 401(k) Plan was merged into this Plan.
   The transfer of the Global Center assets, $1,276,409, into the Plan was
   completed in July 1998 and is reflected in the transfer from other plans on
   the Statement of Changes in Net Assets with Fund Information.

   During Plan year end December 31, 1997, the RG Data Inc. 401(k) Retirement
   Plan was merged into the Frontier Corporation Employees' Retirement Savings
   Plan.  Net assets of $512,997 were transferred from this plan during Plan
   year end December 31, 1997.

   During Plan year end December 31, 1997, the Plan document was amended to
   allow the Company's Employee Benefit Committee to transfer participant
   accounts from plans the participants are no longer eligible to participate
   in, to a substantially similar 401(k) plan sponsored by Frontier Corporation,
   or any corporation/business entity in which Frontier Corporation has a 50% or
   more ownership or profits interest.  The transfers resulting from this
   amendment are reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available
   for benefits, with fund information as transfers from (to) other plans.

   Participation
   All non-bargaining employees, except for temporary, summer and leased
   employees, are eligible to participate in the Plan upon the first of the
   month after 30 days of employment.

   Administration
   The Plan is administered by the Company's Employee Benefit Committee whose
   members are appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.  The Trustee of
   the Plan is Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company.

   Funding Policy
   Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions into any
   of eight investment options.

              bonds and U.S. government and agency obligations.

              invested in stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

   The shares of stock in Fund F are qualified employer securities as defined by
   ERISA.  Each individual's investment in these funds is recorded in his or her
   account on a per share basis.  All other funds are tracked on a dollar value
   basis with each fund's activity allocated to participants on a pro rata
   basis.  Therefore the plan does not record activity on a unit value basis.

   The Plan provides that each participant may voluntarily make contributions
   through a salary reduction agreement for whatever whole percentage a
   participant chooses, up to a maximum of 16%, subject to maximum contributions
   imposed by the Internal Revenue Code under Section 401(k).

   Individual accounts which record the participants' contributions, the
   earnings on all contributions and the amount of the participant's interest in
   each fund are maintained for each participant.  The participants'
   contributions during a month are allocated directly to their individual
   account when contributions are received by the Trustee.  Participants have
   the option to invest their contributions in any of the funds and may change
   their allocation between funds at any time.

   Employer matching contributions equal 100% of participant contributions, up
   to the first 3% of compensation.  In addition, each payroll period, the
   Company contributes .5% of the payroll period compensation for each of its
   employees who is a participant in the Plan.  During 1998, the Plan was
   amended to include a profit sharing contribution based on Company
   performance.  In 1998, an additional .5% of employee compensation was
   contributed under the profit sharing terms.  All employer contributions will
   be invested initially in Fund F.  All employer contributions invested in this
   Fund must remain for five years, while an active participant, after which
   time the participant may elect to transfer the amounts to any of the other
   funds or retain the amounts in this Fund.  If the participant terminates
   service with the Company, he or she may elect to transfer the amounts in Fund
   F to any other funds or retain the amounts in this Fund.

   Each Plan year, the Company, at its discretion, may contribute additional
   amounts to participants.

   Vesting
   Participants are immediately 100% vested in their individual account and all
   employer matching contributions and earnings thereon.

                                                                          Page 8
   Payment of Benefits
   Payment of benefits generally begins upon termination of service and
   attaining normal retirement age (65).  A participant may elect to receive
   either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her vested account
   balance, or a participant may elect to receive installments over a period not
   to exceed 20 years.  However, a participant who has reached age 59 1/2, but
   who has not yet terminated employment may withdraw all or a portion of his or
   her accumulated account balance in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

   If upon termination of service, a participant does not attain normal
   retirement age and his or her vested account balance is greater than $5,000
   and $3,500 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, he or she may elect
   to receive a lump-sum amount, a direct rollover to a qualified plan under
   Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, or a direct rollover to a qualified
   Individual Retirement Account equal to the value of his or her vested account
   balance.  If the vested account balance is less than $5,000 and $3,500 at
   December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, the balance must be cashed out as
   soon as administratively practicable.

   Individual Participant Loans
   Participant loans cannot exceed the lesser of 50% of the vested amounts in
   the participant's account or $50,000.  A participant may only have two loans
   outstanding, and they are treated as directed investments by the borrower
   with respect to his or her account.  The interest rate on loans is
   established based on the prime rate, under current Plan provisions.  Interest
   paid on the loan is credited to the borrower's account and the participant
   does not share in the income of the Plan's assets with respect to the amounts
   outstanding.  Loans have a term of no more than five years except that a loan
   may be granted for a period not to exceed 25 years if the proceeds are used
   to purchase the participant's principal residence.  During the Plan year
   ended December 31, 1998, $3,254,611 in loans were disbursed and principal
   repayments of $2,471,288 were made.

   Plan Termination
   Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
   under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
   the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan
   termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
   accounting.

   Use of Estimates
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
   contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the reported investment
   income and expenses during the Plan year.  Actual results could differ from
   those estimates.
<PAGE>

                                                                          Page 9

   Contributions and Benefits Paid
   Contributions are recorded by the Plan when withheld from employees and
   accrued by the Company.  Benefits are recorded when paid.

   Participants may receive distributions in cash or in common stock of Frontier
   Corporation for amounts invested in Fund F.  Purchases and sales of
   securities are recorded on the trade date.

   Administrative Expenses
   Significant expenses associated with the Plan are paid by the Company.

   Valuation of Investment Assets
   Investments in registered investment companies and employer securities are
   stated at fair value, measured by quoted market prices.  Investments in
   common trust funds are stated at estimated fair values which represent the
   net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.  Adjustments for
   unrealized appreciation or depreciation of such values are included in the
   operating results of the Plan.

3. Party-in-Interest Transactions

   The Plan's holdings of Frontier Corporation common stock, the Putnam
   Investment, Inc. common trust and the five Putnam Investment, Inc. registered
   investment company funds are party-in-interest investments.

   As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan held 2,328,998 and 2,355,452
   shares of Frontier Corporation common stock at a fair market value of
   $79,185,985 and $56,678,052, respectively.  Of these shares, 233,816 were
   contributed by the Company during the Plan year ended December 31, 1998 for
   all of the Company's contribution categories.  During the Plan year ended
   December 31, 1998, 131,205 shares of Frontier Corporation common stock were
   distributed to participants.

4. Federal Income Tax Status

   The Plan Administrator has received a favorable determination letter from the
   Internal Revenue Service covering the Plan, as amended, stating that the
   Plan, as designed, is a qualified plan in accordance with Section 401(a) of
   the Internal Revenue Code, and its corresponding trust is exempt from
   taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.  The Plan Administrator believes
   the Plan is being operated as designed and, therefore, maintains its tax-
   qualified status.
