                                  SCHEDULE 13D

                   AMENDMENT NO. 1 FOR RICHARD P. KLEINKNECHT

         This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relating to IPC Information
Systems, Inc. ("IPC") is being filed by Richard P. Kleinknecht pursuant to
Section 13(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to amend Schedule 13D
originally filed October 13, 1994. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set
forth on Schedule 13D.

Item 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS. UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
         RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following after the first
sentence of the second paragraph:

         In connection with a refinancing (the "Refinancing") effective on
October 6, 1995 with The Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. ("Chase"), with respect to
each of the Reporting Person and Peter J. Kleinknecht, (i) 300,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer, an amount of the shares of Common Stock equal to
approximately 3.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, were released from
the previous pledge (to Citibank and NatWest), (ii) the pledge of 425,221
previously pledged shares of Common Stock was transferred to Chase, and (iii)
the pledge of 65,000 previously pledged shares of Common Stock was retained by
NatWest. As a result of the Refinancing, shares of Common Stock of the Issuer,
in an amount equal to approximately 8.2% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, continue to be pledged, as of October 6, 1995, to secure the debt of the
Reporting Person and Peter J. Kleinknecht and certain companies controlled by
them.

         Item 6 is hereby further amended by deleting the third and fourth
paragraphs and replacing them as follows:

         The Reporting Person and Peter J. Kleinknecht together with a company
controlled by them are guarantors of certain indebtedness of Kleinknecht
Electric Company, Inc. (a New York corporation, formerly George Kleinknecht,
Inc.) ("KEC") and Kleinknecht Electric Company, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation,
formerly GK Telecommunications, Inc.) ("GKT" and collectively with KEC, the
"Borrowers") to Chase in connection with the Refinancing. This indebtedness
consists of (i) a term loan in the amount of $2,000,000 due Chase and secured by
a first and second mortgage transferred from Citibank pursuant to the
Refinancing; and (ii) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $2,500,000
from Chase of which approximately $679,587 was borrowed as of October 6, 1995.
In addition, a certain mortgage loan from NatWest to the Reporting Person and
Peter J. Kleinknecht in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 has an
outstanding balance as of October 6, 1995 of $1,308,339 (the "NatWest Mortgage
Loan"). As a result of the Refinancing and the NatWest Mortgage Loan, the
Borrowers are indebted to NatWest and Chase in the aggregate approximately
$4,000,000 which may increase to a maximum of $5,800,000.

         The NatWest Mortgage Loan is payable in installments at a rate of 2.5%
over NatWest's prime rate. The final installment of the NatWest Mortgage Loan is
due on April 1, 1999. The term loan from Chase is payable in installments at a
rate of 1.5% over Chase's prime rate. The final installment of the term loan is
due in October 1998. The revolving credit facility from Chase is at a rate of
1.5% over Chase's prime rate. All of the above described obligations are current
as of October 6, 1995.

final clause of the first sentence of the second paragraph to "were" and the

to "continues to fulfill".
