Press release from last month - VoIP + Transtel = Telkom + Stress

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistula Communications Services Inc
("Vistula") (OTC Bulletin Board: VSTL) announced today that it has agreed to
install the V-Cube(TM) VoIP platform on trial in Transtel's network in South
Africa. Transtel will conduct a series of tests to prove the interoperability
of the system with its own and other VoIP systems, before finalizing an
agreement for the distribution of Vistula's V-Cube(TM) based services in South
Africa.
V-Cube(TM) will be demonstrated as a central system to deliver a range of
hosted VoIP telephony products to business enterprise customers in South
Africa. Vistula will integrate its Web portal set with Transtel's existing
client and operational systems to give a cohesive client front end. This will
facilitate client sign-up and allow those clients straightforward control of
their telephony environment.
Karl Socikwa, CEO of Transtel, said, "Transtel is investigating possible
IP solutions for its customers. We look forward to moving ahead with Vistula
on demonstrating an IP product suite to our existing and new business
customers in South Africa."
Rupert Galliers-Pratt, Chairman and CEO, Vistula, commented, "Transtel is
a substantial government owned network in South Africa. We have been working
closely with their relevant executives over the past three months and we hope
to move to contract once the testing phase has been completed to the
satisfaction of all parties."
