Steve, I recall an article of yours mentioning Internet telephony (in particular Netspeak and Vocaltech) and their relative disappointing performances over the course of 1998. Although it may be early to try and figure who the pure play in internet telephony will be, do you see a leader? Is consolidation a strong possibility here, or are the CSCO's and LU's of the world destined to pull away?

csco/lu - i favor the latter view that cisco and lucent may start to bundle their own telephony into the router or network
of course, net2phone's ipo did rekindle some interest in the sector but vocaltec and netspeak havn't ridden any heatwave there

at these valuations i have to believe that vocaltec's r&d alone may be worth it

This is excellent news. I expect to see many more deals like this in the future. I wonder if this is the big news Hawaii was referring to. Personal, I got to believe there is also something big brewing with Sprint.

The revenue growth for IDTC will IMO be huge this quarter. I just hope they keep there expenses down enough to show some good profits.
