                  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. __________)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We are acting as counsel for North American DataCom, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 2,302,624 shares of Common Stock,
$.0001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, to be offered and sold by
certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"). In this regard
we have participated in the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-1
relating to such 2,302,624 shares of Common Stock. (Such Registration Statement,
as amended, is herein referred to as the "Registration Statement.")

                  We are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be
offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders have been duly authorized and
legally issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. We hereby consent to the
filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the
use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement
and in the Prospectus included therein.


                                    Best regards,



                                    /s/ Lawrence R. Lonergan, Esq.
