Item 5.  Other Events.

ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS OF T-COM, LLC

         MicroTel International, Inc. (the "Company") has acquired substantially
all of the assets of T-Com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and
assumed certain liabilities of T-Com, LLC. The liabilities assumed consist
mostly of accounts payable, accrued payroll expenses and accrued commissions.
The assets purchased are valued at approximately $1,496,000 and liabilities
assumed are approximately $496,000. T-Com, LLC is a manufacturer of high
performance digital transmission test instruments used for the installation and
maintenance of high speed telephone line services for telephone central offices,
competitive local exchange carriers and private communications networks. The
Company intends to use the acquired assets for substantially the same purposes
as such assets were used by T-Com, LLC.

         The acquisition of the assets closed on September 22, 2000 and has an
effective date of August 1, 2000. The Company paid to T-Com, LLC for the net
assets consideration valued at $1,000,000, as itemized below:

    -    150,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.
         The preferred shares become convertible into shares of common stock of
         the Company in three equal lots of 50,000 preferred shares each at the
         end of six, twelve and eighteen months, respectively, following the
         acquisition closing date of September 22, 2000. Each preferred share
         will be convertible into ten common shares, and conversion rights will
         be cumulative, with all 150,000 preferred shares being convertible
         into common shares after eighteen months. The preferred shares have a
         liquidation preference of $6.40 per share.

    -    Warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock
         at an exercise price of $1.25 per share which are exercisable for a
         period of twenty-four months following the acquisition closing date of
         September 22, 2000. The warrants contain a cashless exercise feature.

         The consideration described above is valued at approximately $938,000
for the preferred shares based on a value of $0.6253 per common share multiplied
by the 1,500,000 common shares into which the preferred shares can be converted.
The warrants have been valued at approximately $62,000 based on a calculation
using the Black-Scholes valuation formula. In the third quarter of 2000, the
Company will report an increase of approximately $1,000,000 to its net worth due
to this acquisition.
