Newton, MA - June 26, 2000 -Linx Communications, Inc., a leading communications Application Service Provider (ASP) delivering unified communications and messaging services to businesses and individuals, today announced that Integral Communications Inc. (ICI) has selected Linx' suite of unified communications services to enhance their total telecommunications solutions for their customers. Under the terms of the agreement, ICI will offer a range of Linx branded services, including the LinxConnect™ one-number service, through its existing contracts with federal government agencies, commercial and international customers.

ICI will offer Linx' one-number, virtual PBX and voice mail services as part of its comprehensive suite of telecommunications services. "Our partnership with ICI is extremely exciting for Linx and it gives us an excellent partner to offer our services to the government, commercial and international markets," said Joe Gately, president and CEO of Linx Communications. "ICI has an outstanding reputation in helping their customers build efficient and effective communications solutions. We look forward to working with them to introduce their customers to the flexibility and power of outsourced unified communications."

"Many of our customers are extremely mobile, but being quickly and easily reachable is paramount. Consequently, many customers are looking for mobile communications solutions that are extremely flexible and dynamic to match their workstyle," said Alice Hsin, president of ICI. "Linx services are a great addition to our services suite because they allows us to offer our clients practical and easy-to-use solutions that give them better control and convenience over their business and personal communications - at anytime, from wherever they are in the world."

Linx Services
As an ASP, Linx offers outsourced communications and messaging services to individuals, small businesses, corporations and now government agencies. This enables companies to take advantage of the most advanced messaging solutions without incurring the capital costs of maintaining internal systems and equipment.

Linx' suite of easy-to-use, subscription-based web-enabled communications services give on-the-go people complete control over their phone calls, faxes and messages at any time, from any location. Linx services save time and money while eliminating the frustration of "telephone tag."

LinxConnect, Linx' flagship service, is a powerful, web-enabled one-number service that streamlines multiple communications tools (voice, wireless, messaging, fax) into a single local or toll-free number. By combining disparate devices into a single number, LinxConnect makes users more reachable and accessible while allowing them to better prioritize important calls and messages. LinxConnect features LinxWeb™, a robust personal communications web portal that allows users to listen to voice messages, view faxes, manage communications, and initiate real-time call connection via the web.

Linx also offers an ideal solution for organizations with growing communications needs. LinxOffice™ is a powerful "virtual" office phone system - a fee-based service that can be customized to meet a company's specific communications requirements. With LinxOffice, subscribers enjoy the benefits of a comprehensive office phone system, without the hardware and maintenance costs associated with a PBX system.

Linx' national network currently includes local points of presence (POPs) in Boston, Los Angeles, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Linx is expanding its POPs with plans to cover the top thirty major metropolitan areas this year.
