I believe I saw something on Fidelity's web site about a new site being open this year.

I had a long talk with the tech folks yesterday:

re: FOX plus

Software development is being done in-house. The old DOS FOX was developed by MECA.

Next automated update is targeted for September. This update will deal with y2k concerns.

FOX plus techies are working with Microsoft in regards to the IE 5.0 incompatibilities. Apparently IE 5.0 alters some .dll files required for proper function of FOX plus. This is obviously a MAJOR concern for the FOX plus team.

re: website

In the not too distant future, Fido plans to roll out a trading web site dedicated to active traders, those with "Gold Circle" status. This new site will allow up to 5 quote lists for static download of realtime quotes. The site will NOT feature dynamic rtc's.

The new site will allow traders to remain logged on for 8 hours.

The new site WILL allow shorting.

The new site will be designed for faster page download and refresh.
