Exhibit 10.20

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                                   AMENDMENT 1


This will amend the EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated the 4th day of October 2001, by
and between ION Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principle place
of business at 1551 South Washington Avenue, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, (the
"Company") and Kam Saifi residing at 2041 Winding Brook Way, Westfield, NJ 07090
(the "Employee").

Effective the 30th day of September 2002, Section 7, paragraph (b) of the
Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

         (b)      Employee's   employment   may  be   terminated   at  any  time
                  immediately  upon  written  notice  by  the  Company,  without
                  "Cause".  If Employee  is  terminated  by the Company  without
                  "Cause,"  Employee  shall be entitled  to a severance  payment
                  equal to (i) a payment of salary for the next twelve months as
                  if the Agreement had not been terminated. Employee and Company
                  agree  that  such  severance  payment  shall  also  constitute
                  liquidated  damages  and  is  a  reasonable  approximation  of
                  Employee's damages as a result of such termination.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Employee have duly executed and
delivered this Agreement as of the day and year shown above.

                                   ION NETWORKS, INC.
