ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

      A. Intelect Communications, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it has
entered into an agreement with certain funds managed by the Citadel Investment
Group, L.L.C. ("Citadel"), Promethean Investment Group, L.L.C. ("Promethean"),
and Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. ("Angelo Gordon") to issue in a private placement
a new series of its preferred stock designated as the Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock"). The Company will authorize the
issuance of up to 9,600 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at a Stated Value
per share of $1,000. The Series E Preferred Stock will have a five year term,
pay no dividends, have no-voting rights, have an annual premium of 8% payable
upon conversion in common stock, par value $0.01 of the Company ("Common Stock")
(or cash at the Company's option on prior notice), and convert into Common Stock
at the lesser of a fixed conversion price or a variable conversion price.

SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION TERMS

      The following is a summary of the material terms of the Series E Preferred
Stock, which terms are qualified by reference to the full text of the underlying
documents which are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K. The underlying documents
for the Series E Preferred Stock are a Securities Purchase Agreement,
Registration Rights Agreement and a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights, all filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K. In addition, a Form of Warrant
is also filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.

THE CLOSINGS. The transaction is divided into several separate closings. At the
initial closing of the transaction (the "Initial Closing"), Citadel will
purchase from the Company an aggregate of 3,000 shares of Series E Preferred
Stock for total gross proceeds to the Company of $3,000,000. The Company will
issue to Citadel warrants to purchase 100 shares of Common Stock for each share
of Series E Preferred Stock purchased at the Initial Closing. The Initial
Closing is subject to various conditions, including a) that the Company's
stockholders approve at its special meeting of stockholders on March 3, 1999 the
proposals to approve the amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation increasing its authorized shares of Common Stock to
100,000,000 shares, and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Company's outstanding Series C and Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, b) that the representations, warranties and agreements of the
Company set forth in the transaction documents are true and correct as of the
Initial Closing, c) the Company file the Certificate of Designations for the
Series E Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State, d) that the
Company deliver all required certificates, opinions, and documents required
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and e) certain other terms and
conditions, all as more fully set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Initial Closing is scheduled to occur on or about March 5, 1999, subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions to closing. After the Initial Closing, at a
future date, Promethean and Angelo Gordon are to purchase from the Company an
additional 3,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock for an additional
$3,000,000 (the "Mandatory Closing"). Each of these purchasers will receive
warrants to purchase 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of

                                       2

Series E Preferred Stock purchased at the Mandatory Closing. The conditions to
the Mandatory Closing include a) the effectiveness of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the resale of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock
issued at the Inital Closing and to be issued at the Mandatory Closing, and
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, b) that
the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company as set forth in
the transaction documents are true and correct as of the date of the Mandatory
Closing, c) the Company's Common Stock is listed with The Nasdaq Stock Market
("Nasdaq"), d) the Company delivers all required certificates, opinions, and
documents required under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and e) the
satisfaction of certain other terms and conditions, all as more fully set forth
in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company has also granted each of the
Purchasers of the Series E Preferred Stock the right to purchase up to an
additional 3,600 shares of Series E Preferred Stock beginning six months after
the Initial Closing and ending eighteen months after the Initial Closing. These
additional closings are to occur only if the Purchasers provide five days prior
written notice to the Company of their intention to purchase, and are subject to
the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions to closing. Should such
additional closings occur, the holders will be entitled to receive warrants to
purchase 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series E Preferred Stock
purchased at the additional closing. The proceeds from the offering, including
the Initial Closing and the Mandatory Closing, will be used by the Company for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

CONVERSION. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to (i) $1,000 (the "Stated Value"), plus any
accrued premium of 8% per annum, divided by (ii) the applicable conversion
price. The applicable conversion price is the lesser of (i) a "fixed conversion
price", or (ii) a "variable conversion price". The fixed conversion price for
the 3,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be purchased at the Initial
Closing is $1.80. The fixed conversion price for the 3,000 shares of Series E
Preferred Stock to be purchased at the Mandatory Closing will be the lesser of
$1.80 or the lowest closing bid price for the ten (10) consecutive trading days
before the date of the filing of the registration statement with the SEC
covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series E Preferred Stock. The fixed conversion price at the additional
closings, if any, would be $3.00. The variable conversion price is 83.5% of the
average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported on
Bloomberg for the forty (40) consecutive trading days before the date of
conversion (the "Variable Conversion Price"). In the event that the Company or
the transfer agent do not timely effect a conversion or reissuance of the
remaining shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company is subject to certain
liquidated damage penalties, adjustments to the applicable fixed conversion
price and certain other penalties as more fully described in the Certificate of
Designations.

In addition, if the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock submit a conversion
request and the Company is not able to issue the required amount of shares of
Common Stock due to the Company's inability to comply with the rules of Nasdaq,
under the Certificate of Designations, a Triggering Event would occur. In such
event, the Company could be required by the holders to redeem all of the
remaining shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a price equal to 120% of the
Stated Value. In addition, upon the Triggering Event, the holders of the Series
E Preferred Stock

                                       3

could attempt to require the Company to delist its Common Stock from Nasdaq and
begin trading on the electronic bulletin board or pink sheets.

The shares of Series E Preferred Stock are presently convertible. The holders of
the Series E Preferred Stock are prohibited in the Certificate of Designations
from converting their respective holdings of the Series E Preferred Stock if
after giving effect to such conversion the holder would beneficially own in
excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
following such conversion. The Series E Preferred Stock will convert
automatically into Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price then in
effect on the fifth anniversary date of issuance, to the extent any shares of
the applicable issuance of Series E Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

In connection with the Series E Preferred Stock, the following risks are
associated with Series E Preferred Stock conversions:

o     because the Variable Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock is a
      function of the market price of the Common Stock upon conversion, the
      lower the price of the Common Stock at the time the holder converts, the
      greater number of shares of Common Stock received upon conversion;

o     to the extent that Common Stock received upon conversion is sold into the
      market, and disregarding the manner in which such shares are sold as well
      as any other factors such as reactions to the Company's operating results
      and general market conditions which may be operative in the market at such
      time, such sales may cause a decrease in the market price of the Common
      Stock, which in turn relative to additional conversions of the Series E
      Preferred Stock would reduce the Variable Conversion Price and increase
      the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion and available
      for sale into the market for the Common Stock;

o     short sales of the Common Stock may be attracted by or accompany
      conversions and sales of Common Stock from conversions, which sales in the
      aggregate could cause downward pressure upon the price of the Common
      Stock, excluding the effect of other market factors possibly operative at
      the time; and

o     conversions of the Series E Preferred Stock may result in substantial
      dilution of the interests of the other holders of Common Stock. In this
      regard, the ownership limitation which prohibits the purchasers from
      owning more than 4.99% of the Common Stock of the Company only applies to
      shares of Common Stock held at one time and does not prevent purchasers
      from converting and selling some of their holdings and then later
      converting the rest of the holdings.

      In addition, the Company's Common Stock could be delisted by Nasdaq in the
event that the Company's stock price decreases below the $1 minimum bid price as
required by Nasdaq or the Company otherwise fails to satisfy the minimum listing
requirements of Nasdaq. In such an event, should such a delisting extend for
five or more consecutive trading days, a Triggering Event would occur and the
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock could require the Company to redeem the
outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock. See "Redemption - Triggering
Event".

                                       4

DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are not entitled to
receive dividends. The holders are entitled to receive upon conversion, payable
in cash or Common Stock at the election of the Company, an annual premium of 8%
on the aggregate "Stated Value" (i.e., $1,000 per share) (the "Additional
Amount"). The Company does not presently intend to pay such Additional Amount in
cash.

VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have no voting rights
except as provided by law, except to the extent such holders own shares of
Common Stock.

LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series
E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the
Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its
stockholders ("Liquidation Funds") before any amount shall be paid to any class
junior in rank to the Series E Preferred Stock an amount per share of Series E
Preferred Stock equal to $1,000 plus any Additional Amount (the "Liquidation
Preference"). In addition to the Liquidation Preference, in the event of any
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders will also be
entitled to receive any Liquidation Funds distributed to the holders of the
Common Stock, after the Liquidation Preference has been paid, to the same extent
as if such holders of the Series E Preferred Stock has converted their shares
into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion) and had held
such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the distribution of the
remaining Liquidation Funds.

REDEMPTION. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may require the Company
to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock upon the consummation of a "Major
Transaction" or a "Triggering Event".

MAJOR TRANSACTIONS

o     certain mergers, consolidations, tender offers, or the sale
      of substantially all the assets of
      the Company

TRIGGERING EVENTS

o     failure of the registration statement covering the resale of the
      conversion shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants to
      be declared effective within 120 days after the Initial Closing Date;
o     the effectiveness of the registration statement lapses for five or more
      consecutive days (subject to applicable grace periods);
o     the registration statement is unavailable for the sale of all of the
      "Registrable Securities" (as defined) for five or more consecutive days in
      accordance with the terms of the applicable registration rights agreement;

                                       5

o     the delisting of the Company's Common Stock by Nasdaq for five consecutive
      trading days or for more than an aggregate of 10 trading days per year;
o     certain failures of the Company or its transfer agent to comply with
      conversions of the Series E Preferred Stock within 10 business days after
      a conversion notice is submitted;
o     the inability of the Company to issue conversion shares due to limitations
      imposed by the requirements of Nasdaq; and
o     certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or terms of the
      transaction documents which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as
      defined).

REDEMPTION AND OTHER REMEDIES

o     The holders can send a notice of redemption upon the occurrence of such a
      Triggering Event or Major Transaction, and require the Company to redeem
      the Series E Preferred Stock at (a) 120% of the Stated Value of the Series
      E Preferred Stock, or (b) the product of the applicable conversion rate in
      effect on the date of the "Major Transaction" or the date a notice of
      redemption is delivered in the case of a "Triggering Event", and the
      closing sales price of the Common Stock on the trading date immediately
      preceding such date on which the "Major Transaction" or "Triggering Event"
      occurred.
o     If the Company is unable to effect a redemption, interest will accumulate
      on the value of the shares the Company is unable to redeem at the rate of
      2.5% per month.
o     If the Company is unable to effect a redemption, the holders are also
      entitled to void their redemption notices and receive a reset of their
      applicable Conversion Price. The fixed conversion price on the Series E
      Preferred Stock would be reset to the lesser of (A) the Fixed Conversion
      Price as in effect on the date the void optional redemption notice is sent
      to the Company and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price (as defined) during
      the period beginning on the date on which the date of notice of redemption
      is sent and the date on which the void optional redemption notice is
      received. In addition, the holders would also be entitled to have the
      formula for the Variable Conversion Price to be reduced by a number of
      percentage points equal to the product of (A) .25 and (B) the number of
      days in the period beginning on the date which is five business days after
      the date on which the notice of redemption is delivered to the Company and
      ending on the date on which the void optional redemption notice is
      received.

The Company presently does not have the funds available to pay the redemption
price for all or any significant portion of the Series E Preferred Stock or the
required interest payments. Accordingly, if the purchasers of the Series E
Preferred Stock were to enforce their rights in connection with a Triggering
Event, there could be material adverse financial consequences to the Company
which could severely impair the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

REGISTRATION OF SHARES; POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE AND EXERCISE
PRICE. The Company is required by agreement to initially register with the SEC
the resale of at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock issued in the

                                       6

Initial Closing and to be issued in the Mandatory Closing, which is based on the
Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock at the time of the filing of
the registration statement. Further, the Company has agreed to register the
resale of at least 125% of the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
issued upon exercise of the warrants issued to the purchasers in the Initial
Closing and to be issued in the Mandatory Closing. The Company has agreed to use
its best efforts to file the registration statement as soon as possible but no
later than April 2, 1999 (the "Scheduled Filing Date") and have the registration
statement declared effective by the SEC no later than 90 days after the Initial
Closing (the "Scheduled Effective Date"). In addition, after the registration
statement is filed and during the period the registration statement is
effective, the Company has agreed that the resale of at least 150% of the shares
issuable upon conversion of the remaining shares of Series E Preferred Stock
will remain registered (which is based on the conversion price in effect at that
time), and the resale of at least 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants will remain registered.

If the Company is unable to have the registration statement filed or declared
effective in the time required, the conversion percentage applicable to the
Variable Conversion Price in effect at such time shall be reduced by a number of
percentage points equal to the sum of (a) 2.0, if the registration statement is
not filed by the Scheduled Filing Date, PLUS (b) 2.0, if the registration
statement is not declared effective by the Scheduled Effective Date, PLUS (c)
the product of (I) .067 MULTIPLIED by (II) the sum of (x) the number of days
after the Scheduled Filing Date that the relevant Registration Statement has not
been filed with the SEC, (y) the number of days after the Scheduled Effective
Date that the relevant Registration Statement has not been declared effective by
the SEC and (z) the number of days that sales cannot be made pursuant to the
relevant Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement after such Registration Statement has been declared effective (the
"Registration Default Days"). The fixed conversion price in effect at such time
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (y) the fixed conversion
price in effect as of the issuance date MULTIPLIED by (z) the sum of (I) .02, if
the registration statement is not filed by the Scheduled Filing Date, PLUS (II)
 .02, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Scheduled
Effective Date, PLUS (III) the product of (x) .00067 MULTIPLIED by (y) the sum
of the Registration Statement Default Days. If the Company is unable to have the
registration statement filed or declared effective within 20 days after the
Scheduled Filing Date or Scheduled Effective Date, the exercise price of the
warrants will be reduced using the same formula as applicable to the fixed
conversion price adjustment on the Series E Preferred Stock.

REDEMPTION AT COMPANY'S OPTION. As more fully set forth in the applicable
Certificate of Designations, the Company may redeem the shares of Series E
Preferred Stock submitted for conversion but only if the conversion price for
the shares submitted for conversion is less than or equal to 90% of the "Market
Price" (as defined) on the issuance date of such shares. If the Company elects
to redeem such shares, the redemption price is equal to the product of (A) 105%,
(B) the conversion rate of the Series E Preferred Stock on the date such shares
are submitted for conversion, and (C) the closing sales price of the Common
Stock on the date the applicable shares are submitted for conversion.

                                       7

OTHER TERMS. The transaction documents relating to the Series E Preferred Stock
also contain certain other representations, warranties, agreements, and
indemnification obligations of the Company. These include, among other things,
the obligation of the Company to hold a stockholders meeting on or before June
30, 1999 where it includes a proposal recommending the approval of the issuance
of the Series E Preferred Stock and the warrants. If the Company fails to hold
such meeting by the required deadline, it will be subject to certain liquidated
damages as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The operative
agreements also contain (i) a right of first refusal in favor of the investors
which applies to certain private equity financings of the Company and would
commence on the Initial Closing and ends one year thereafter, (ii) prohibit the
Company from redeeming any of its Common Stock, paying any cash dividends on its
Common Stock, and making certain distributions on its Common Stock, (iii) limit
the ability of the Company to issue any senior preferred stock, and (iv)
prohibit the Company from entering into certain related party transactions
except in accordance with Delaware law. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock
are also subject to antidilution provisions which are triggered in the event of
certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions, as well
as issuances of Common Stock at a price below the market price or the fixed
conversion price in effect, or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or 
convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less
than the market price on the date of issuance or the fixed conversion price,
other than for certain previously outstanding securities and certain "excluded
securities" (as defined). In the event that the Company issues securities in the
future which have a conversion price or exercise price which varies with the
market price and the terms of such variable price are more favorable than the
Variable Conversion Price in the Series E Preferred Stock, the purchasers may
elect to substitute the more favorable variable price when making conversions of
the Series E Preferred Stock.

WARRANTS. In connection with the closings of the Series E Preferred Stock, the
Company will issue to the purchasers a warrant to purchase 100 shares of Common
Stock for each share of Series E Preferred Stock purchased. The warrant will
expire five years after the issuance date and will have an exercise price equal
to 110% of the Market Price (as defined) on the issuance date. The "Market
Price" is the average of the two lowest closing bid prices in the prior 40
trading days. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to
reset on the last day of July and January of each year in the event that 110% of
the Market Price of the Common Stock on any such date is less than the exercise
price then in effect. In such case, the warrant exercise price shall be reset to
110% of the Market Price on such reset date. The warrants are also subject to
certain antidilution provisions in the event the Company sells Common Stock or
securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock at a price less than the
exercise price of such warrants or the market price of the Common Stock.

PLACEMENT AGENT COMPENSATION

      The placement agent for the Series E Preferred Stock was Overlook 
Consulting, L.L.C. ("Overlook"). Overlook will receive a placement fee equal to
3.5% of the funds raised. 

                                       8

USE OF PROCEEDS

      The net proceeds of the Series E Preferred Stock will be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS

      None of the investors in the Series E Preferred Stock transactions is a
director, executive officer or five percent or greater shareholder of the
Company or an affiliate of any such person or entity.


OTHER TRANSACTIONS

      In connection with the Initial Closing, the Company has agreed to allow
Citadel to sell all of its remaining 1,843 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and 1,144 shares
of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series D Preferred
Stock") to Angelo Gordon and Promethean. In connection with the issuance of the
Series E Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series C and Series D Preferred
Stock have the right under the Certificates of Designations of such securities
to use the Variable Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock as the
variable conversion price of such securities when they submit a conversion
notice. Thus, upon the Initial Closing, when the holders of the Series C and D
Preferred Stock submit a conversion notice, the holders will likely elect for
the variable conversion price of the Series C and D Preferred Stock (which is
presently 97% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices in the ten
prior trading days) to become the Variable Conversion Price of the Series E
Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company has also agreed that Promethean and
Angelo Gordon are not required to limit their conversions of the Series C and
Series D Preferred Stock to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock in any continuing
thirty (30) day period. Citadel will continue to be subject to contractually
agreed conversion restrictions.

B. Effective December 22, 1998, the Company issued in a private placement an
aggregate of 1 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 300,000
shares of common stock. During January 1999, the Company issued an additional
1.8 million shares and warrants to purchase 540,000 shares of common stock in
connection with the private placement. All of the warrants had an exercise price
of $2.998 and the offering was made solely to accredited investors. The total
gross proceeds to the Company was $2.8 million and the proceeds were used for
working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company granted to the
purchasers registration rights covering the resale of the common stock and the
warrant shares.

During December 1998, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
600,000 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors, issued in the
connection with the exercise of certain previously outstanding warrants.

                                       9

C. The Company entered into a Loan Agreement for Inventory Backed Borrowing with
The Coastal Corporation Second Pension Trust ("Coastal") to borrow up to
$750,000 in aggregate principal amount. The loan bears interest at prime plus
3.5%. The loan, as amended, is payable in three installments of $250,000 plus
interest payable on March 1, April 1, and May 1, 1999. The loan is secured by
all of the inventory and related assets of the Company. The loan is subject to
customary covenants and restrictions, including a prohibition on incurring
additional indebtedness (as defined), prohibitions on liens on property, and
contains customary cross-default and acceleration provisions in the event of
defaults. In addition, effective January 13, 1999, Coastal agreed to extend the
maturity date of the Loan Agreement for Receivables Backed Borrowing which
previously matured on August 31, 1999 to February 12, 2000. The aggregate
principal amount outstanding under such loan is $5,000,000 and the loan bears
interest at the prime rate plus 3.5%.

Effective January 13, 1999, as permitted under the terms of the terms of the
Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of February 12, 1998 between the Company
and St. James Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Agreement"), the Company elected to
extend the maturity date of the Convertible Promissory Notes issued pursuant the
Agreement in favor of each of St. James Capital Partners, L.P. and SJMB, L.P.
(collectively "St. James") to February 12, 2000. The aggregate principal amount
outstanding under such notes is $10,000,000. The notes bear interest at 7% per
annum. In connection with such extension, the Company issued to St. James
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 535,000 shares of common stock of the
Company. The exercise price of such warrants is $1.50 over the volume weighted
average of the closing price of the common stock for the ten (10) day period
prior to January 13, 1999. Such warrants are subject to antidilution provisions
which are triggered in the event that the Company issues or sells common stock
or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price less than
the exercise price then in effect. Such provisions would enable the holder to
obtain a reduction in the warrant exercise price as well as an increase in the
applicable number of warrant shares.
