Item 5.   Other Events.
-------   -------------

     On March 10, 2000,  CoreComm Limited ("COMM") announced that it had entered
into a definitive  agreement to acquire ATX  Telecommunications  Services,  Inc.
("ATX"). ATX, a privately held company based in Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania is a
"Smart  Build"  CLEC  and  integrated   communications   provider   serving  the
Mid-Atlantic states.

     Under  the  agreement,  CoreComm  will  pay a total  consideration  of $900
million, consisting of: (i) approximately 12.4 million shares of CoreComm common
stock ($500 million); (ii) $250 million of 3% Convertible Preferred Stock, which
is  convertible   into  CoreComm  common  stock  at  a  stock  price  of  $44.36
(representing  a 10% premium to the current  10-day  average price of $40.33 per
share) and (iii) $150 million in cash, of which up to $70 million, at CoreComm's
option,  may be paid  in  senior  notes  with a  two-year  maturity.  Under  the
agreement's cap provisions, the shares of common stock issued will be reduced if
the CoreComm stock price at closing exceeds $46.38 per share,  and the number of
common shares underlying the Convertible  Preferred Stock will be reduced if the
CoreComm  stock  price  at  closing  exceeds  $44.36  per  share.   ATX  has  no
indebtedness.

     The transaction is subject to regulatory and CoreComm  shareholder approval
and other  customary  closing  conditions,  and is expected to close  during the
summer of 2000.
