   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
   
   
      FLORA COMMUNITY WEB RECEIVES 64Kbps INTERNET CONNECTION FROM IGS 
   
   
   
   OTTAWA, Ontario -- December 20, 1996 -- FLORA Community WEB, a
   volunteer based service to the Ottawa community, announced its new
   sponsorship agreement with Information Gateway Services (IGS), one of

   64Kbps dedicated ISDN Internet connection and Russell McOrmond
   Consulting is sponsoring another 64Kbps connection. FLORA's connection
   speed will now be 128Kbps.
   
   
   
   "This new connection between IGS and FLORA will give FLORA access to
   the support available through IGS, and will give IGS customers very
   fast access to the community services and people at FLORA", remarked
   Russell McOrmond, technical volunteer for FLORA Community WEB.
