Mr. Thomas E. Gardner
LJT Associates
c/o Point Gammon Corporation
One Providence Washington Plaza,
4th Floor
Providence, RI 02903

Dear Tom:

         This letter  follows up on  discussions at the last Board meeting about
how the Board can best assess the possible courses of action open to ASI.

         Acting as the two of the three  outside  directors of Access  Solutions
International,  we invite you to consider  the Board's  request that you provide
professional  services  as  a  consultant  to  the  Company  on  an  arms-length
fee-paying basis for the coming few months.

         These  services will be "as needed" to complete the following  scope of
work or until the Board deems that the project has  progressed  to a point where
your day-to-day consulting efforts are no longer required.  During the course of
the  project,  we would  expect you to remain a member of the Board of Directors
and to participate in decisions made by the Board based on the  information  you
have developed.

Project Scope:
-------------

         To  investigate  the  alternative  strategies  open  to  the  Board  in
realizing for the shareholders an appropriate  return on their investment in the
company. In broad terms, the choices appear to be i) dissolution ii) sale of the
company  as a going  concern  iii) sale of the  company's  assets  and  business
activities  separate from sale of the corporate  entity and iv)  continuing  the
company's business activities.  The Board has no pre-conceived idea of the ideal
outcome apart from the goal of returning the best overall return (balancing risk
with reward) to the shareholders.  The scope of the project includes supervisory
and investigative activities taken since our last Board meeting.

Activities:
----------

         In pursuing  the  investigation,  we envisage  the  following  types of
activities:

         Meetings  with  legal,  securities,  financial  and other  advisers  to
describe  the  current  situation  of the  Company so they can help  identify in
outline the possible courses of action open to the Company

<PAGE>

         Retention  of  an  adviser  or  advisers  able  to  provide   qualified
assessments of the feasibility and probability of success of various strategies

         Development  of  approximate  financial  projections  of  the  possible
outcomes of the various courses of action

         Supervising the provision of verbal and written reports to the Board by
the advisers selected

         Participating  in Board  meetings  where the  future of the  Company is
discussed (you would not receive compensation for time spent in Board meetings)

         Following  a decision  by the Board  based on a thorough  review of the
information  provided  during the  investigative  stage,  we envisage  that your
additional  help would be required to implement the selected  strategy either by
providing  direct  leadership for the Company during the period of transition or
by advising on the selection of a business manager for this period.

Fees:
----

         We propose  professional  fees of $175 per hour or $1250 per day,  plus
reasonable out of pocket  expenses for your services in overseeing  this effort.
Fee levels of the outside advisers responsible for much of the detailed analysis
required  are  subject  to  agreement  by the  Board  once  the  scope  of their
contributions is understood. Statements of professional fees and expenses should
be submitted to the Board monthly.

         The Board  appreciates  your  willingness  to consider  providing  this
ongoing  supervisory  effort in the absence of a full-time CEO or President.  We
feel it goes far beyond your responsibilities as a Board Member and thus wish to
formalize the arrangement in a consulting  agreement between you and the Company
as described in this letter.  The agreement  could be terminated by either party
at any time without notice.

         Thank you for your willingness to take on this additional task.

Sincerely,

s/Adrian Hancock                                     (date) May 17, 2001

defined in the  Security  Agreement  and shall for all  purposes be deemed to be
secured by the security  interest granted  thereunder.  Simultaneously  with the
execution of the New Note,  ASI shall cancel the Original  Note and return it to
PaperClip.
