MOUNT DORA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1999--American
Millennium Corporation, Inc. (OTC BB: AMCI) reported today that it has
completed engineering for remote interfacing with the Frick RWB ll
Plus Control Panels.
AMCI Chief Technical Officer Bruce R Bacon stated: "We have designed a remote interface to the Frick RWB II Plus control panel manufactured by Frick Controls Group, Frick Company, a division of York International Corp., York PA (NYSE:YRK). On the equipment end is an Orbcomm Satellite Subscriber Communicator with our custom
application software that permits communication with the control panel
using the panel's native ASCII protocol. All functions and information
that are available through the serial port are available over the
air".
"Our client software runs on a PC which when connected to the
Internet allows the user to query the control panel over the air for
any and all of the operating parameters. Commands to the control panel
can be issued remotely. In addition to the data polling and command
capabilities of the system, an alarm message is sent when the
compressor shuts down unexpectedly. The alarm message reports the
latest "Discrete Failure List" to the client software, allowing the
operating company to know the exact series of events that caused the
compressor to shut down", Bacon added.
AMCI President and CEO Andrew F. Cauthen stated, "The first
prototype system is currently installed on a Compressor Systems, Inc.
(CSI) compressor package near Fort Stockton, TX. A fully functional
pilot version will be installed on a CSI compressor by month's end.
This product is the first of several that AMCI is developing which
will communicate with oil and gas field automation equipment. These
products will allow operators to interrogate and control the equipment
remotely over the Internet. We are presently working on enabling the
client software to interface using only a web browser from any
Internet connection".
"With the completion of this project we now have a software
template that with relatively simple modifications will enable
different system protocols to "speak" to the ORBCOMM satellites. This
can only strengthen our position as a recognized leader in remote
system telemetry and control within the oil and gas industry.
Completing preliminary engineering on the Frick control panel moves
AMCI beyond simple function capabilities to full communications
between remote equipment and the operator. We will be outfitting new
control panels as well as retrofitting existing Frick units for
customers like CSI. Plans are already under way to interface with the
new Frick RCSI Quantum Control Panel", Cauthen concluded.
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results and experience to differ materially from anticipated results and expectations expressed herein. In particular, AMCI's plans may be revised, and its actual results may differ materially from that
indicated by its current plans.

Not a stock-mover, but significant in that it shows that the company is still doing R&D and moving forward.
