 SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 2000--Peacock Financial Corporation's (OTCBB:PFCK) subsidiary DOTCOM Ventures, LLC announced today that it has converged its network infrastructure with its investment property iNetPartners, Inc.
 
 The company announced that it is moving its network infrastructure to Exodus Communications (NASD:EXDS) based in Irvine, CA.

The move will allow DOTCOM to share its resources with its properties to help control costs and enhance collaboration across the entire Peacock enterprise.
 
 "Converging iNetPartners and Peacock/DOTCOM's infrastructure was a natural step in our incubator model," stated Steven Peacock, CEO of Peacock Financial Corp. "The key elements to our decision were to significantly reduce costs, share resources, and enhance collaboration."
 
 Steve Salcedo, Vice President of Technology for iNetPartners, Inc., added, "Our decision to partner with Exodus Communications was based on the outstanding service they've been providing iNet since its launch last spring. Exodus is also the market leader in bandwidth and co-location and is recognized as having one of the fastest and most reliable networks out there."
 
 DOTCOM is in the process of adding its latest investment startup, Bizness Soup, to the network. Alan Lewis, CEO of DOTCOM Ventures, commented, "We've positioned ourselves with a strong core network architecture that we can modularly add components to as we build the infrastructure of our properties, as opposed to building separate, autonomous networks for each property."
