EXHIBIT 31.1

     I, Norman E. Corn, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of ION Networks, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     the small  business  issuer as of, and for,  the periods  presented in this
     report;

4.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying   officer(s)  and  I  are
     responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and
     procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
     internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for the small business issuer and have:

     a)   Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business  issuer,  including its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
          known to us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the
          period in which this report is being prepared;

     b)   Designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
          such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be designed under
          our  supervision,   to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
          reliability  of financial  reporting and the  preparation of financial
          statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principals;

     c)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's  disclosure
          controls and procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as
          of the  end of the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
          evaluation; and

     d)   Disclosed  in this  report any change in the small  business  issuer's
          internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
          small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
          affected,  or is  reasonable  likely to materially  affect,  the small
          business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I  have
     disclosed,  based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control over
     financial reporting,  to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit
     committee of the small  business  issuer's  board of directors  (or persons
     performing the equivalent functions):

          a)   All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting
               which  are  reasonably  likely  to  adversely  affect  the  small
               business  issuer's  ability to  record,  process,  summarize  and
               report financial information; and

          b)   Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant role in the small business
               issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
