SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw from Listing 
and Registration; (The Network Connection, Inc., Common Stock, $.001 
Par Value, and Attached Common Stock Purchase Rights) File No. 1-13760

October 18, 2000.
    The Network Connection, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ 
and Rule 12d2-2(d) \2\ thereunder, to withdraw its Common Stock, $.001 
par value, and attached Common Stock Purchase Rights (referred to 
collectively herein as the ``Securities'') from listing and 
registration on the Boston Stock Exchange (``BSE'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to being listed and registered on the BSE, the 
Securities trade over-the-counter and have been designated for 
quotation on the SmallCap Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 
(``Nasdaq'') since May 1995. The Company does not see any particular 
advantage in its Securities trading on two markets and so has applied 
to withdraw the Securities from listing and registration on the BSE in 
order to avoid possible fragmentation of the market for such Securities 
and to save the expense of maintaining the secondary listing.
    The Company has stated in its application that it has complied with 
the rules of the BSE governing the withdrawal of its Securities from 
listing and that the BSE has in turn indicated that it will not oppose 
such withdrawal. In addition, the Company has stated that its 
application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Securities from 
listing and registration on the BSE and shall have no effect upon 
either their continued designation for quotation on the Nasdaq, their 
registration under Section 12(g) of the Act,\3\ or the Company's 
continued obligation to file with the Commission the periodic and other 
reports required by Section 13 of the Act.\4\

    Any interested person may, on or before November 8, 2000, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the BSE and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for 
the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
