Item 5    Other Events

Allen Organ Company (NASDAQ: AORGB) today announced that its
subsidiary Eastern Research, Inc. has been chosen by Telstra
Corp. Ltd. (NYSE: TLS-news; ASX:TLS) as a supplier of Time
Division Multiplexer equipment for Telstra's Business Data
Access Network.  Eastern will supply Telstra with Eastern's
DNX Access Concentration Systems.  Telstra will utilize the
grooming and concentration capabilities and multiple high-
speed network interfaces of the DNX to help facilitate back-
haul consolidation of traffic in its end offices and at
customer premises sites.  In addition, Telstra will leverage
the large-scale cross-connect capabilities of the DNX-88 in
its main offices.

Eastern Research worked with Telstra to meet the company's
specific network requirements to alleviate capacity
pressures.  Capacity, scalability, and flexibility of
interface options distinguished the DNX, resulting in a cost-
effective deployment solution that integrates seamlessly
into Telstra's existing network.

Initial deployment, scheduled for some time in August 2001,
includes  the DNX-11 and DNX-88 configured with a range of
interfaces for DS3, E1 and STM1 applications.

"This contract further validates and strengthens our
position as the world's pre-eminent supplier of cross-
connect technology at the network edge," said Michael Doyle,
president of Eastern Research.  "As the Telstra network
migrates to broadband and optical at the edge, the DNX
product family will help facilitate this transition, help
optimize the network and strengthen customer satisfaction.
With our blend of rock-solid performance and leading edge
functionality, our relationship with Telstra should blossom
as new service demands change the network landscape."

Program Delivery Manager for Telstra's Data Network
Products, Ron Rydz said: "The introduction of the Eastern
Research DNX Access Concentration System marks a significant
step forward in helping Telstra deliver Business Access
Services to our customers.  Not only does the product help
us meet our current and future demands, but also introduces
new efficiencies in the way we engineer the service."
