LINX COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS WITH PCS TELECOM

Newton, MA - July 22, 1999 - Linx Communications, a leading Communications Service Provider (CSP), today announced tthat it has partnered with PCS Telecom (Personal Cellular Services, Inc.) of Hayward, California, a reseller of wireless, long distance and other communications services in the San Francisco Bay area. Under the terms of the agreement, PCS Telecom will resell Linx' complete family of enhanced services including its LinxConnect(tm) unified communications service and LinxOffice(tm) virtual PBX service, to their Bay area business customers.

"We are seeing great demand among our current and prospective customers for robust unified communications services. With the addition of Linx' services to our product mix, we can now deliver the market's top enhanced messaging and one-number services to our customers," said Garry McLaughlin, president, PCS Telecom. "Linx' cutting edge unified communications offerings complement and strengthen our overall service offerings, and provide us with a significant competitive advantage in our market."

"The Bay Area holds tremendous opportunity for unified communications - businesspeople are incredibly frustrated with their communications options and are looking for a better approach," said Joe Gately, president and CEO of Linx. "PCS Telecom recognizes this fact and we have teamed up to provide a solution to their customers who are painfully aware of the limitations of existing telecom options, and recognize the power, flexibility and value that Linx services will bring."

Linx provides a suite of Web-enabled unified communications services, including LinxConnect, an innovative service that integrates a user's voice, pager, and fax communications into a single number. Through this single, unique local telephone number, LinxConnect simultaneously rings up to three user-specified phone numbers and announces the caller, stores and forwards faxes, and notifies the user by pager of their calls and messages. LinxConnect streamlines voice, fax, email, and other communications services, enabling all forms of communications to be user-accessible by telephone or the Internet. With LinxConnect, on-the-go professionals save time and money without encountering the frustrations associated with "telephone tag."

LinxOffice is a powerful "virtual PBX" that offers businesses of all sizes a comprehensive office phone system without the hardware and maintenance costs associated with traditional PBX systems. LinxOffice can offer functionality beyond most premise-based equipment on a subscription basis, including Automated Attendant, customizable menus, call forwarding and routing, voice mail, send/receive faxes, zero-out to operator, and a spell-by-name directory. Linx' services simplify connections, and ultimately, communications between people.

Linx' unified communications services are currently available via local telephone number access in Boston, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC and will be expanding to additional cities across the U.S. Linx' services are also available nationwide via toll free access.
