Exhibit 10.53


                             FINAL MERGER AGREEMENT
               PEN INTERCONNECT, INC./ THE AUTOMATIC ANSWER, INC.
                                October 23, 2001

This  final  merger  agreement  between  Pen  Interconnect,  Inc  (Pen)  and The
Automatic  Answer,  (tAA)  is being consummated by both parties this 23rd day of
October  2001.  This  agreement  is  in  reference  to "The Agreement to Acquire
Shares",  (definitive  agreement)  signed  by  both parties on April 13th, 2001.
Whereas Pen is a public Utah company and tAA is a private California company and
both parties have completed their respective due-diligence reviews with positive
results  and  the  representations  and  warranties brought up in the definitive
agreement  having been met as defined below, it is now time for both parties who
are  in  agreement  to  complete  the  merger.

     CONSIDERATION

     There  were  two options for completing the merger, the greater of: (1) Pen
was to issue 67% of its stock to tAA in exchange for 100% of their stock, or (2)
$10  million  of common stock using the average closing market price from the 20
days  prior to the Closing.  Item (2) was the greater of the two and the average
price  of  the  stock  was  $0.0245/share. This divided into $10 mil is equal to
408,163,265  shares,  which  are  to  be  issued to tAA and will be unregistered
unless  otherwise  noted.

However,  because  Pen only has 500 million shares available, it has been agreed
that  the  tAA  preferred  shareholders  and  most of the debt holders will each
receive  new  classes  of Pen Preferred shares (C & D) with a conversion rate as
defined  in  the schedule "Distribution of PENC Shares to tAA".  Both classes of
Pen  Preferred  shares  (C  & D) will have demand registration rights upon their
conversion.  The  Pen  Preferred  shares  Class C may not be converted to common
shares  for a period of at least 3 months.  The Pen Preferred shares Class D may
not  be converted to common shares for a period of at least 12 months.  Pen will
commence immediately, upon receipt of the tAA shareholder list, to cause the new
Amanda  common  shares  to be issued by its transfer agent.  Before the transfer
agent  issues a new share to a particular shareholder, the respective tAA issued
share,  or  representation  thereof,  must  be  collected.

It  is  also  agreed that there will be an early limited registration of certain
shares  as defined in the schedule "Distribution of PENC Shares to tAA" based on
prior  agreements  as  defined  in  the  definitive  agreement.

Pen's present preferred shareholders, warrant holders and option holders will be
allowed  to  keep  their  interests  in those vehicles and allowed to convert to
common  shares  and  a  timely registration of such shares will be provided when
ever  they  desire  as  long  as  there  are  unissued  shares  available.

Peter  Benz will be issued up to 50 million shares for his work in providing the
initial  financing  to  the  two  companies  and providing the ongoing financing
package.  The  board  must  review  the  agreement  and  the  past financing and
assistance  provided  by  Peter  to  insure  that the shares to be issued are in
accordance  with  every  one's understanding. His shares will also be under rule
144,  i.e.  not  registered.

The  board  will  need to cause a reverse split of the shares within 120 days to
allow  for  the preferred shareholders to convert their shares to common shares.

     It is understood that if the average share price for the next 60 days falls
below  the  $0.0245/  share  price, then additional shares will be issued to the
previous  tAA  common shareholders, preferred shareholders, and debt holders, to
cause  the  $10  million  price  to  be  upheld.  Furthermore, should the shares
distributed  to  tAA fall below 67% of the total issued Pen shares due to any of
Pen's  present  conversion  instruments (including, but not limited to preferred
shareholders,  warrant  holders,  option  holders, and debentures) converting to
common  shares, then additional shares will be issued to the previous tAA common
shareholders  only (not the preferred shareholders or debt holders) to cause the
67%  distribution  to  be  upheld.

     CLOSING

By definition in the definitive agreement this closing, although being completed
on  the  23rd  of the month, will be effective as of the 30th of September 2001.
For  accounting  purposes  it  will  be deemed consummated as of 11:59 PM on the
effective  date.  The  closing  will be consummated by the exchange of completed
signature  pages.

TAA  confirms  that  it  has  provided  the items as defined in item 2.2, a-d as
defined  in  the  definitive  agreement  and  as  per  the  attached  schedule.

Pen  confirms  that  it  has  provided  the items as defined in item 2.3, a-e as
