                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To the Board of Directors 
Intelect Communications Systems Limited

We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form
S-3 (Nos. 333-15243, 333-14287, 333-10103 and 333-09049) and on Form S-8 (Nos.
33-03246, 33-96908, and 33-05918) of Intelect Communications Systems Limited of
our report dated April 9, 1997, relating to the consolidated balance sheets of
Intelect Communications Systems Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, the
two months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended October 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related schedule, which report appears in the December 31, 1996
annual report on Form 10-K of Intelect Communications Systems Limited.

Our report dated April 9, 1997, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from continuing operations and
is dependent upon the successful development and commercialization of its
products and its ability to secure adequate sources of capital until the
Company is operating profitably.  These matters raise substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  Managements plans with
regard to these matters are described in note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements.  The consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
