             PRESS RELEASE      THURSDAY, JANUARY 12th, 1994

========================================================================


Interpage Network Services Inc. (INSI) announces the opening of 
a new Internet gateway service which integrates almost any 
direct-dialable pager in the world to the Internet, electronic mail, and 
facsimilie messaging.

INSI'S "Interpage" (TM) service allows anyone who has an electronic mail
(e-mail) account to fully integrate their pager and those of their
colleagues, employees, friends, and family to the Internet with variety of
unique and innovative services. It also allows those who do not have
e-mail accounts to receive pages and faxes from other e-mail users, making
any pager or fax owner fully and immediately accessible to the millions of 
e-mail users on the Internet. 

Interpage customers are given a individual account on the Interpage
system, and have the option of forwarding their mail to Interpage, having
mail sent directly to Interpage, or both. Once Interpage receives mail for
a given customer, he or she may select to be notified of the mail by
pager, by fax, or to have the mail forwarded to one or more other e-mail
locations, or even to do nothing. 

Interpage offers the ability to apply a sophisticated set of "screens" for
filtering out unwanted mail so that customers will not be paged or faxed
with unimportant mail, paged at late hours, or paged/faxed with large
group mailings. Interpage customers may also specifically select from who
they do or do not wish to be paged, faxed, or have mail forwarded from,
and incorporate such a "screen" into the aforementioned "screens" above.
In addition, all of Interpage's "screens" and filtering options are
changeable at will by the customer -- the entire system is automated to
allow customers to change a variety of paging options as easily as they
dial a telephone number or send email. 

Additionally, Interpage customers receive a variety of additional services, 
such as:

-The ability to page almost anyone else in the world who owns a pager
 directly from their e-mail accounts, at substantial long distance 
 savings. No special software is required -- sending a page is as easy 
 as sending mail.

-The option to forward mail based on a configurable daily or weekly
 schedule to one or more email addresses or fax locations.

-The ability to redirect mail to fax locations based on the sender or 
 codewords in the Subject: line, allowing businesses and individuals without 
 immediate or direct e-mail access to receive mail from the Internet 
 community instantly.

-A sophisticated, easily configurable Reminder option which allows
 customers to set reminders for themselves for any time or date in the 
 future. 

-Link and Web Site Failure Monitoring and Notification system

-URL and Web Site Faxing

-Faxing, Telephone and Paging Gateway services to move Internet content 
 traditional communications media.

-An easy-to-use menu system which customers may use to modify almost
 every aspect of their paging service, accessible via e-mail or by using
 "telnet" from almost any computer system in the world linked in some 
 way to the Internet.

-An Internet "Fax-On-Demand" storage/retrieval system for businesses 
 who wish to establish a presence on or who are currently connect
 the Internet. Businesses may pass customer queries to Interpage or 
 prospective customers may directly query Interpage's Fax-Back server 
 and have detailed information faxed to their location immediately.

Interpage welcomes to opportunity to demonstrate its service to
interested parties -- we think those who do try out the feature rich
environment will find it to be a useful and indispensable tool for
enhanced integration between the Internet, Facsimilie, and pager
messaging.
