                        AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                           SCHEDULE 13D

          This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule
13D dated February 11, 1997 filed by Roy B. Andersen, Jr., Robert S. Vaters,
Dennis Schmaltz, Max A. Slifer and George Abi Zeid (collectively, the
"Reporting Persons") relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share 
(the "Common Stock"), of Xpedite Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Xpedite" or the "Company").  Capitalized terms used herein without 
definition have the meanings assigned to such terms in the initial filing.

          Item 4 is supplemented as follows:

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

          The offer made by the Reporting Persons, UBS Partners and Fenway 
(the "Group") to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company on February 7, 1997, as reported in the Reporting Persons' Schedule 
13D, dated February 11, 1997, expired in accordance with its terms on March 7,
1997.  Notwithstanding the expiration of such offer, the Group continues to 
have a significant interest in acquiring the Company and has informed the 
Special Committee that it expects to make a new offer to acquire the Company at
an appropriate time; it has not done so yet in order to facilitate the review
by the Special Committee and its advisors of the Company's strategic 
alternatives.  There can be no assurance that any such offer would be on
terms and conditions identical to the February 7, 1997 proposal and neither 
the Reporting Persons, nor UBS Partners or Fenway have yet made any new offer
to acquire the Company or expressed any specific plans or proposals that
would relate to or result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) 
through (j) in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

          1.   Joint filing agreement of the Reporting Persons dated
               February 11, 1997.*

          2.   Power of Attorney (included in Exhibit 1).*
