         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3
                  ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the registration of an aggregate
of 11,783,544 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of iLinc Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). The Shares include 8,183,544 shares of Common Stock currently issued
and outstanding (the "Outstanding Shares"), 800,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of warrants (the "Warrants") issued by the Company
(collectively, the "Warrant Shares") and 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock (the "Convertible
Stock") issued by the Company (collectively, the "Convertible Shares"). All of
the Shares are being registered on behalf of the holders of the Outstanding
Shares, the Warrants and the Convertible Stock (collectively, the "Selling
Stockholders").

         We are acting as special counsel for the Company in connection with the
registration for resale of the Shares. We have examined signed copies of the
Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission. We have also examined
and relied upon minutes of meetings of the stockholders and the Board of
Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended to
date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of
rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

         In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the
legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

         Our opinion below, insofar as it relates to the Shares being validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, is based solely on a certificate of the
Senior Vice President of the Company confirming the Company's receipt of the

consideration called for by the applicable resolutions authorizing the issuance
of such Outstanding Shares, Warrants and Convertible Stock and assumes receipt
by the Company of (i) the exercise price for Warrant Shares issued upon due and
proper exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii)
the conversion price for Convertible Shares issued upon due and proper
conversion of the Convertible Stock in accordance with the terms thereof.

         We assume that the appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer
and sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders, to register and qualify the
Shares for sale under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws.

         We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or
jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and
the federal laws of the United States of America.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i)
the Outstanding Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii)
the Warrant Shares, when issued upon due and proper exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with their respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable; and (iii) the Convertible Shares, when issued upon due and
proper conversion of the Convertible Stock in accordance with the terms thereof,
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection
with the offer and sale of the Shares while the Registration Statement is in
effect.

         Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set
forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This
opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and is based upon currently existing
statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any
obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or
subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or
opinions set forth herein.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of
Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and to the use of our
name therein and in the related prospectus under the caption "Legal Matters." In
giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the Commission.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     /s/ Jackson Walker L.L.P.
