ITEM 5.	OTHER EVENTS.

	On June 17, 1996, AmeriConnect, Inc., a Delaware corporation 
("AmeriConnect"), and Phoenix Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Phoenix"),
 jointly announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of
 Reorganization by and among Phoenix, Phoenix Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
 corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix ("Sub"), and AmeriConnect,
 dated as of June 14, 1996 (the "Agreement").  Under the terms of the
 Agreement, it is proposed that Sub will merge with and into AmeriConnect (the 
"Merger").  Upon consummation of the proposed Merger, AmeriConnect would become
 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix and Sub would cease to exist.  The
 Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1.  The Merger, which is intended
 to be a tax-free reorganization and is intended to be accounted for as a
 pooling-of-interests, is anticipated to close in approximately 90 
days subject to, among other things, approval by the stockholders of
 AmeriConnect and Phoenix and obtaining any required Hart-Scott-Rodino
 clearance.

	AmeriConnect and Phoenix issued a press release announcing the proposed 
Merger, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

	Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion above 
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties,
 including obtaining approval of the stockholders of AmeriConnect and Phoenix
 and obtaining any required Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, as well as the other
 risks detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including the
 report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the report on
 Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
