LINX PARTNERS WITH KEEP IN TOUCH STUFF

Leading East Coast Retailer To Resell LinxConnect and LinxFind Services

Newton, MA - October 4, 1999 - Linx Communications, Inc., a leading Communications Service Provider (CSP), today announced that it has partnered with Keep In Touch Stuff of Edison, New Jersey, a leading retailer of wireless services and products. Under the terms of the agreement, Keep In Touch Stuff will resell Linx' LinxConnect™ and LinxFind™ unified communications services in its retail locations throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia.

Keep In Touch Stuff offers its customers the latest in mobile communications and computing technologies and solutions including cellular telephones, pagers, long distance services, PDAs, Internet access, and satellite television.

"We're tremendously excited about offering LinxConnect and LinxFind through Keep In Touch Stuff. Their prime locations in key retail centers enable them to share their expertise on the latest communications technologies and solutions with a wide audience," said Joe Gately, president and CEO of Linx Communications. "We're looking forward to working with them to show their customers how to solve the biggest challenge in communications today: the explosion of telephone numbers and voicemail boxes where a person can be reached."

"Linx' services are a great complement to our product offerings," said Benny Aboud, president of Keep In Touch Stuff. "With LinxConnect and LinxFind, our customers can very quickly and easily take control over their wide array of mobile and landline telephones, voicemail and pagers and better manage their daily communications."

Linx Services
Linx markets a suite of easy-to-use, customizable communications services that gives on-the-go professionals total access and control over their phone calls, faxes, and messages at any time, from any location. Linx services save time and money while eliminating the frustrations associated with "telephone tag."

LinxConnect, Linx' flagship service, is a powerful, one-number service that seamlessly streamlines disparate business communications devices into a single number. LinxConnect integrates voice (landline and mobile), messages and fax through a single local access or toll-free number. With a single number as the point of access for all communications, LinxConnect makes it easy for important clients and contacts to stay in touch while allowing the user to better prioritize calls and messages.

LinxConnect now includes its innovative web-based platform called LinxWeb™, a personal web portal that extends unified communications to take advantage of the flexibility and ubiquity of the Web. LinxWeb offers an intuitive, web-based interface for viewing messages, managing communications, and initiating real-time call connection/routing.

LinxFind offers all of the features of a quality voice mail system while increasing users' connectivity and flexibility, allowing them to receive calls from any location so that they can leave the office knowing that important calls will not just end up in voice mail. It provides call-forwarding capabilities with added intelligence from the Linx network: when a person calls a LinxFind user's office and she is not there, LinxFind instantly sends the call to the user's mobile phone or any other number selected by the user. The caller is announced, allowing the user to take the call or send it to voice mail. Users have the power and flexibility to only take the calls they want or need.
