LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 1999--NP
Energy Corporation is pleased to announce that its telecommunications
arm, MCC MetroPLUS Communications Corp. is aggressively developing its

calls over the internet at a substantial savings.

The Internet is a worldwide network of computer networks.
Computers can send messages to each other via the Internet (E-mail is
the most familiar example). However, audio can also be digitized and
passed between computers just like any other data type. In fact, many
Web sites are now sound-enabled.
The MetroPLUS IP Telephony Gateway uses the Internet to send
audio between two telephones in real time, so the users can converse.
