                    LAWSUIT SEEKS TO RESTRAIN RED CUBE FROM
                    BUSINESS INTERFERENCE AND RECOVER DAMAGES

DRAPER, UTAH, JAN. 19, 2001 -- I-Link, Inc. (Nasdaq: ILNK), a communications
application service provider (ASP), today announced that it has filed a lawsuit
in federal district court in Salt Lake City, Utah against Red Cube
International, AG, and its U.S. affiliate, Red Cube, Inc. The lawsuit alleges
that Red Cube has been engaged in a plan to drive I-Link out of business and
gain control of its proprietary technology, customers, agents and employees. The
lawsuit seeks to restrain Red Cube from further interference with I-Link's
business and to recover damages caused by such interference and by Red Cube's
failure to provide I-Link with operational funding as it had agreed to do.
