MAX INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES NETFORALL IS IN BREACH OF PREVIOUSLY
ANNOUNCED AGREEMENT


Dallas, Texas -December 12, 2000 /PRNewswire/ MAX Internet Communications
(symbol:MXIP) announced today that NetforAll, Inc. is in violation of the joint
development agreement previously announced by the two companies on August 7.
Pursuant to the contract, NetforAll is required to fund the first $2,000,000.00
in costs incurred by MAX to develop the product. As of the time of the
announcement, NetforAll has not fully performed its payment obligations under
the contract. MAX has demanded immediate payment of the current remaining
balance due pursuant to the contract.

MAX Internet Communications hopes that the situation will be rectified promptly,
however, management intends to pursue all available legal remedies to obtain the
amounts owed by NetforAll.

MAX Internet Communications previously discussed that the two companies were
negotiating a new more expansive agreement. Those negotiations have ceased until
NetforAll meets all obligations under the original development agreement.

Robert F. Kuhnemund, Chairman of MAX Internet Communications, responded "MAX
would like to resolve this matter as quickly as possible so that further
development of the joint product might proceed. Until NetforAll complies with
the terms of the original contract, MAX will not devote any additional time or
resources on behalf of NetforAll."
