LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2000

Agreement Accelerates B2B Activities for TelSurf Networks, Intraco

TelSurf Networks Inc., creator of the world's first Internet "audio browser" service, and Intraco Systems Inc. (OTCBB: INSY), a leading edge voice application service provider (Voice ASP) specializing in Voice-Powered Websites(TM), today announced a joint marketing agreement that will significantly expand the scope of voice-activated Internet access available to consumers via any phone -- new or old, wired or cell -- through 888-TelSurf.

The companies made the announcement at Spring Internet World, here through April 7.

Patent-pending and fully voice-activated, 888-TelSurf turns ordinary telephones into Internet on-ramps by enabling subscribers to access select Internet-sourced audio content and communications services from anywhere at any time, through a toll-free number. 888-TelSurf is free to the user, supported by targeted, interactive audio advertisements.

Under the agreement, TelSurf Networks and Intraco will provide telephony audio access -- via 888-TelSurf -- to e-commerce-oriented Internet content at the Web sites of Intraco's customers. Intraco, in turn, will market these services along with its business partners, which include AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Intermedia, BellSouth, Fuzion Communications and Level 3.

Intraco's customers use Intraco services to voice-power their Web sites, enabling consumers to call in and buy products. Going forward, 888-TelSurf will enable their members to access these e-commerce sites directly from 888-TelSurf and make purchases using simple voice commands.

The marketing agreement also provides that:

-- The two companies will jointly develop audio telephony access and interface protocols for expanding business-to-business (B2B) applications

-- TelSurf Networks will use Intraco's paging system to notify 888-TelSurf subscribers of message arrivals and other alerts, such as a change in an auction bid at eBay, Amazon.com or Ubid.

"Now, after re-defining the way people can access Internet content, one of our key goals is to enable our members to use 888-TelSurf to easily make purchases from voice-powered Web sites," said Simon Lam, CEO and founder, TelSurf Networks Inc. "This agreement with Intraco is a huge step in that direction, enabling us to greatly expand e-commerce access for our members."

"Working with TelSurf Networks opens new doors for our customers, making them accessible to the millions of consumers who previously lacked Internet access," said Walt Nawrocki, CEO, Intraco Systems Inc. "The market segment that TelSurf Networks is targeting is now poised for takeoff, with the possibility of a tremendous increase in traffic for our customers with e-commerce Web sites."

888-TelSurf provides subscribers with a rich complement of interactive information, communications and e-commerce activities -- full-function email, news, stock quotes, weather, traffic conditions and driving directions, sports scores, lottery results, movie reviews and TV listings, horoscopes, book reviews, music samples and jokes, as well as 1,000 Internet radio stations, online shopping and a wide range of Internet audio streams such as commentary, drama, and celebrity interviews. 888-TelSurf also includes audio instant messaging and can merge multiple existing email accounts.

Currently available on a limited basis in the Los Angeles area, the 888-TelSurf service will expand to full North American availability in May. Consumers can sign up now by calling 888-TelSurf (888/835-7873) or online, by visiting www.888telsurf.com.
