COLLECTOR DELUXE PROVIDES REAL-TIME DELIVERY OF CDRS

Nashville, TN - June 8, 2004 - Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems today announced that Wood County Telephone Company, an integrated communications provider based in Wisconsin, has licensed Collector Deluxe.

"With real-time delivery, data verification, and alarming, Collector Deluxe is a powerful mediation system that allows us to proactively manage the transmission of CDRs from our Nortel DMS-100 switch."
