(OTC:KESE) Friday announced that it has acquired aUnix- based ISP with existing dial-up, Web-hosting and co-location accounts. This acquisition enables the company's ISP division PowerOne Internetworks to offer the option of Unix or Windows NT to customers, creating transitional flexibility for further acquisitions. PowerOne Internetworks will be selecting one or more backbone support systems in the near future. The Internet backbone of MCI Worldcom (Nasdaq:WCOM) and Sprint (NYSE:FON) are presently being considered. The company realizes the necessity of secure alignment with the proper data centers for Internet backbone support and strategic alliances. Keystone has marketed and signed more than 8,500 EarthChoice(SM) renewable "green"-electricity customers in the state of California in its ESP (Electric Service Provider) division. The company believes that the pollution-free (96 percent to 99 percent) ISP division is an excellent parallel for its socially responsible marketing niche.

The company also offers pollution-free (96 percent to 99 percent) Internet access and services throughout the United States and Canada, under the ISP division name of PowerOne Internetworks -- "The Power to Make a Difference(SM)," "Power for the Future(SM)."
