Item 5. Other Events

     On March 17, 2003, ATX Communications, Inc. (the "Company") announced that
the Company and the lenders under the Company's senior credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") are currently in discussions regarding modifications to the
Credit Facility that would provide the Company increased liquidity to invest in
its operations. In order to accommodate the ongoing discussions regarding these
modifications, the Company and its senior lenders have agreed to extend the due
date of the Company's March 12, 2003 monthly interest payment to March 31, 2003.
Although management and the senior lenders are working diligently to modify the
Credit Facility, there can be no assurance that any such modifications or
amendments will be achieved on terms satisfactory to the Company or otherwise.
