Further Details of Proposed Placing and Open Offer

On  9 February 2000 the board of InterX announced its proposed acquisition  of
Cromwell  Media  Limited ('Cromwell') (the 'Acquisition')  and  an  associated
placing and open offer to raise up to £30 million for the Company.  Since that
date  the  Board has identified certain additional strategic opportunities  to
extend the ITNetwork business model into other vertical markets.  Accordingly,
it  intends to increase the amount of its proposed placing and open  offer  by
£20 million to a total of £50 million in order to allow it to pursue these.

In  order  to maintain an orderly market in the Company's shares the Board  of
InterX  also announces that, at the time of the open offer, certain  directors
and  former  directors  of InterX and shareholders of Cromwell  (the  'Selling
Shareholders') will sell, in aggregate, up to 2,462,062 ordinary 5p shares in
InterX. The sale of these shares is conditional, inter alia, upon the approval
by InterX shareholders of the Acquisition and the proposed placing and open
offer.

The   shares   will  be  placed  by  Charterhouse  Securities   Limited   with
institutional  investors.  The Selling Shareholders will  enter  into  orderly
market  undertakings  in  respect of their remaining holdings.  Following the
placing,  the  Selling  Shareholders will  continue  to  hold  not  less than
16,167,687  shares in InterX, representing approximately 47 per cent. of the
InterX group based upon yesterday's closing price of 3100p, as enlarged by the
acquisition of Cromwell and the associated placing and open offer.

Details of the proposed placing and open offer,  the  placing  of  Selling
Shareholders' shares and the orderly market undertakings will be contained  in
InterX's circular to shareholders, which is expected to be dispatched by 
mid-March 2000.

Update on Ideal Hardware plc

The  Board  also  announces that it is progressing the separation of Ideal
Hardware  plc  ('Ideal')  from the Group.  The  Board  is  encouraged  by the
performance of Ideal, which is trading ahead of the Company's internal budgets
for the year to date.
