Dear Ms. Monblatt,

As discussed we are pleased to offer you the position of Director of Investor
Relations at IXATA.com

We are anticipating your start date as August 23, 1999, at a retainer of $5,000
per month.  Our understanding is that upon IXATA securing our next round of
major funding, your compensation would increase to $105,000 and you would assume
these duties on a full time basis.

As an incentive, we have agreed you would receive 10,000 shares as upon
commencement of your duties, which shares will vest at your first anniversary of
employment.  Additionally you can purchase up to 25,000 shares at 80% of market
price TBD at the most recent 30 day trading period prior to the date of your
intention to exercise.  During your fist 60 days of employment, we will lay out
an incentive stock option plan based on specific performance, to be mutually
agreed upon.

We are looking forward to having you on board.

Sincerely,


/s/ Fred Gluckman
