of Merger, which was amended on April 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement," a copy of
which was previously filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") as
Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13D on April 27, 1998, and is
incorporated herein by reference).  The Merger Agreement provided, among other
things, for the merger of AAC with and into IPC (the "Merger"), with IPC as the
surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation").  The transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions") were approved by the
shareholders of IPC and were consummated, in each case, on April 30, 1998 (the
"Effective Time").  


                                         -11-
<PAGE>

          The Amended and Restated Investors Agreement, dated as of April 9,
1998, by and among CSH LLC, CSI, Richard Kleinknecht, David Walsh, Anthony
Servidio and Lawrence, Smith & Horey III, L.P. ("LSH") (the "Investors
Agreement," a copy of which was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3 to
Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13D on April 27, 1998, and is incorporated
herein by reference) became in full force and effect as of the Effective Time. 
As a result of the Investors Agreement, the Reporting Persons may constitute a
group with Messrs. Kleinknecht, Walsh and Servidio and LSH.

          Immediately after the Effective Time, 1,203,780 Shares, representing
approximately 31.6% of the Surviving Corporation, are held by the public
shareholders, including Richard P. Kleinknecht, 758,095 Shares, representing
approximately 19.9% of the Surviving Corporation, are held by CSI, 1,704,792
Shares, representing approximately 44.75% of the Surviving Corporation, are held
by CSH LLC and 142,857 Shares, representing approximately 3.75% of the Surviving
Corporation, are held by LSH.  As a result of the Transactions, CSH LLC and its
affiliates, including the Reporting Persons, control IPC.  

          CSH LLC may from time to time effect acquisitions in the open market.

          ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          The information set forth in Items 7-13 of each of the cover sheets
filed herewith is incorporated by reference in response to this Item.

          Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on April 30, 1998,  IPC
filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, and the Merger was effective as of the filing of such certificate.  

          Immediately prior to the Effective Time, CSH LLC purchased 1,704,792
shares of AAC Common Stock at a price of $21.00 per share for a total purchase
price of $35,800,632.00. By virtue of the Merger on April 30, 1998, CSH LLC
beneficially owned 1,704,792 Shares, representing approximately 44.75% of the
Surviving Corporation, at the Effective Time.  As stated above, decision-making
with respect to these Shares is controlled by three members of CSH LLC, acting
jointly.  Accordingly, the reported beneficial ownership of Woog and the Woog
Partnership excludes these Shares.

          Immediately prior to the Effective Time, CSI purchased 758,095 shares
of AAC Common Stock at a price of $21.00 per share for a total purchase price of
$15,919,995.00. By virtue of the Merger on April 30, 1998,  CSI beneficially
owned 758,095 Shares, representing approximately 19.9% of the Surviving
Corporation, at the Effective Time.

          CSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSH.  CSH LLC owns 56,685.64
shares of Class A Common Stock of CSH, representing approximately 52.08% of the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of CSH.  The Woog Partnership owns
51% of the voting interests in CSH LLC attributable to CSH having the rights and
obligations specified with respect to CSH Class A Common Units.  Woog is the
general partner of the Woog Partnership.

          CSH, Woog and Woog Partnership may be deemed, for purposes of Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to beneficially own indirectly 758,095
Shares that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by CSI.  The aggregate
beneficial ownership of CSH LLC (both direct and indirect) is 2,462,887, or
64.65% of the outstanding class.


                                         -12-
<PAGE>

          From and after the time of the Merger, O'Mara, Kirby and AAC are not
beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding class of Shares,
and therefore such persons are no longer Reporting Persons.  See also Schedule A
attached hereto.

          Promptly after the Effective Time, Walsh exchanged 336 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share of International Exchange Networks, Ltd.
("IXnet Common Stock") (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPC), for 137,143
shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and Servidio exchanged 224 shares
of IXnet Common Stock for 91,427 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock
pursuant to the Share Exchange and Termination Agreement, dated as of December
18, 1997, by and among IPC, International Exchange Networks, Ltd., Walsh and
Servidio. After giving effect to this exchange, CSH LLC owns approximately
42.22% of the Surviving Corporation and CSI owns approximately 18.77% of the
Surviving Corporation.

          ITEM 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

          See response to Item 4.

          Each of the Merger Agreement and Investors Agreement, which were
previously filed with the SEC as Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively, to Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D on April 27, 1998, is incorporated herein by reference.

          Except for the agreements described in the response to Item 4, and
except as disclosed previously in the original Schedule 13D and Amendments No.1
and 2 thereto, as filed by CSH LLC, Arizona Acquisition Corp., John O'Mara and
David Kirby with the SEC on December 29, 1997, December 30, 1997 and April 27,
1998, respectively, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise)
between the persons enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to
any securities of IPC, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss,
or the giving or withholding of proxies. 

          ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

          Exhibit 1:  Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons

          Exhibit 2:  Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of December 18, 1998 as amended and restated on April 9, 1998, by and between
IPC Information Systems, Inc. and Arizona Acquisition Corp. (incorporated by
reference to Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D as filed with the SEC on April 27,
1998).

          Exhibit 3:  Amended and Restated Investors Agreement, dated as of
April 9, 1998, by and among Cable Systems Holding, LLC, Cable Systems
International, Inc., Richard Kleinknecht, David Walsh, Anthony Servidio and

to Schedule 13D as filed with the SEC on April 27, 1998).
