MAX INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVES
REDEMPTION REQUEST OF ITS SERIES C CONVERTIBLE STOCK


Dallas, Texas /PRNewswire/ - December 01, 2000 - MAX Internet Communications
(symbol: MXIP) announced today that the company has received a redemption
request from Millenium Partners, L.P., one of the holders of the company's 6%
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The request indicates that Millenium
desires to exercise its right to redeem 32,000 shares of the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock amounting to an aggregate redemption price of
$3,840,000. The company has been engaged in discussions with Millenium and other
holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock regarding various
alternatives to redemption. The request further states that, pursuant to the
terms of the governing documents, by reason of the delisting of MAX's common
stock from the Nasdaq Small Cap market, Millenium has the right to require that
the company pay the redemption price within five trading days. According to the
terms of the documents, if the company fails to pay the redemption in full, the
company will pay interest on the redemption price at a rate of 18% per annum.
Millenium reserves the right to increase the number of shares eligible for
redemption or to rescind any portion of that stock included in the request.

Mr. Robert F. Kuhnemund, Chairman of the Board of MAX Internet Communications,
responded "We have been in discussions with Millenium Partners and other holders
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as other interested parties, in
order to alleviate the need for the company to satisfy the requirements of the
proposed redemption or otherwise obtain the capital with which to redeem the
shares. Those discussions are ongoing. We remain in contact with Millenium and
will continue to explore all possibilities of resolving this matter in the best
interests of the company and its shareholders."
