          This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D amends and supplements the
joint filing of the original Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed on May 20,
1996 relating to the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common
Stock") of MIDCOM Communications Inc., a Washington Corporation (the "Company").

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
          ------------------------------------ 

          (a)  As of June 3, 1996, Advisors beneficially owned in the aggregate
290,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Of that aggregate total, the
Dennises directly own 0 shares of Company Common Stock and the Szymiks directly
own 290,000 such shares. Based upon the most recently available filing by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission which shows an aggregate of
15,494,180 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding, the 290,000 shares
beneficially owned by Advisors constitute approximately 1.87% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares directly owned by the Dennises
and Szymiks constitute approximately 0% and 1.87%, respectively, of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.

          (b)  The Dennises have the sole power to vote and dispose of 0 shares
of Company Common Stock, and the Szymiks have the sole power to vote and dispose
of 290,000 shares of Company Common Stock, subject only to the Partnership
Agreement described in Items 4 and 6.  Advisors has the shared power to vote and
to dispose of 290,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

          Pursuant to Rule 13d-3, Mr. Dennis and Mr. Szymik might also be deemed
to be beneficial owners, and might be deemed to have the power to direct the
voting or disposition of shares of the Company's Common Stock reported herein as
beneficially owned by Advisors because Mr. Dennis and Mr. Szymik are general
partners of Advisors. Under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, Mr. Dennis and
Mr. Szymik might also be deemed to be members of a "group" with each other and
Advisors. However, neither the filing of the Schedule 13D or this Amendment No.
1 to the Schedule 13D (or amendments hereto) nor any contents of the same shall
constitute an admission that either Mr. Dennis or Mr. Szymik is the beneficial
owner of any shares of the Company's Common Stock other than such shares as have
been reported herein, or that either is a member of a group for the purpose of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

          (c)  Since the filing of the Schedule 13D, the following transactions
in the Common Stock have been completed:
