Item 5.  Other Events:  Management Changes.

         The Company previously disclosed the bankruptcy of Metricom,  Inc., in
a  current  report  on Form  8-K  filed on July 12,  2001  (Commission  File No.
000-10588).   In   connection   with  its   bankruptcy   proceedings,   Metricom
decommissioned  the  Ricochet  wireless  network,  and as a result,  the Company
ceased billing customers for Ricochet subscriptions effective August 3, 2001. It
is uncertain at this time whether or not the Ricochet  wireless  network will be
re-activated.

         Effective  August 15, 2001,  in  connection  with the cessation of the
Ricochet wireless Internet services,  the Company implemented an approximate 40%
reduction in its work force. Mr. John J. McDonald,  Jr., Chief Executive Officer
of the Company,  has resigned as an officer of the Company, but will continue as
the Chairman of the Company's board of directors. The Company has terminated the
employment  of Mr.  R.  Philip  Boyd,  Chief  Financial  Officer  and  Corporate
Secretary of the  Company.  Ms.  Sandra T.  Everett will serve as interim  Chief
Financial Officer and Ms. Elizabeth Currier will serve as Corporate Secretary.
