Debra, as I lurk and watch I am impressed with your intensity and awareness. I am new at microcaps and am trying to get a feel for the rythym of it all.
A thought about people being negative with out apparent reason ---
"SOME PEOPLE MAKE LESS OF OTHERS TO MAKE MORE OF THEMSELVES."
(Something the poet/philosopher Eli Siegel said many years ago.)
Now for something serious. Any thoughts about the following:

Telephone-To-Telephone Voice Over Internet Networks Demonstrated By AlphaNet
Toronto, July 23, 1996
AlphaNet Telecom Inc. ("AlphaNet") (TSE - FAX) has begun demonstrating telephone-to-telephone calls using Internet
Protocol (IP) networks for long distance transmission. AlphaNet plans to make the service commercially available by the end
of this year.
Unlike other voice over Internet (VOI) products, which generally provide computer to computer communication, AlphaNet's
voice service will make the cost advantage of transmission over IP networks available to the many millions of global users of
ordinary telephones, without sacrificing voice quality or ease of use. Users of the service will make a telephone call by dialling
the telephone number of the person to whom they wish to speak, causing a telephone to ring in the ordinary way, and the
person called will be normally unaware that the call is being carried over an IP network. Initially, AlphaNet plans to focus this
service on the international market, with six countries operational by the fall and up to twenty countries operational by the end
of 1996.
Providing access to telephones within the continental United States and Canada, the voice service demonstration showcases
the exceptional quality of voice transmission provided by AlphaNet's recently developed proprietary technology, and will help
AlphaNet refine the service features as a result of comments and feedback from early users.
AlphaNet's newly demonstrated voice service and a previously demonstrated companion fax service are components of a
range of telecommunications services that AlphaNet plans to introduce using IP networks for long distance transmission. These
services, code-named UniPost, were announced at a meeting of AlphaNet's shareholders in November, 1995, and their
introduction will be funded from the proceeds of a secondary offering finalized in January, 1996.
AlphaNet, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and San Marcos, California, and with offices in Hong Kong and New Jersey, is
listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FAX and is engaged in the design, development, operation and
worldwide marketing of telecommunications services to the business community, the world's hospitality industry and users of
personal computers.

AND:
UniPost is a suite of forthcoming telecom services from AlphaNet. Among other benefits, UniPost provides international fax
and voice calls at dramatic savings by using the global Internet as its transport network.
UniPost is based on technology and patents owned by AlphaNet. Sprint and its international affiliate, GlobalOne, will provide
the worldwide backbone allowing UniPost services to be offered in most major business cities throughout the world.
