    RMI.NET and CSG formed a strategic relationship in May 2000 whereby CSG
Systems will furnish enhanced billing services for RMI.NET's customers.  This
new process is expected to generate significant monthly savings for RMI.NET,
increase revenues, and provide more accurate, timely billing of customers.
    "This investment is another strong vote of confidence in RMI.NET," stated
Douglas H. Hanson, RMI.NET Chairman and CEO.  "CSG is an important business
partner for us.  Given how well they know our business, their investment shows
that they like how we're executing on our strategic action plan."
    In June, RMI.NET announced a five-point strategic action plan to reach
profitability, under which RMI.NET will grow organic revenue, control
operating costs, retain customers, develop market-driven products, and upgrade
its network.  RMI.NET remains on track to reach neutral EBITDA in December,
according to Hanson.
