It would be boring if you didn't have any losing trades. I'm thinking about GRIN and TOPP today, what do you think? SONE should move for you today as it's the pick of the day on a decent site.

Mr. Baker, Re:DIGL-Remembered this as one of yours under 6, and thought someone had asked a question concerning potential or the achieving of company goals. Could not locate the post, but news out this a.m. Just taking a chance that someone here that is interested in DIGL has not been informed. (PR NEWSWIRE) Digital Lightwave's New Network Access Agent Brings Remote T Digital Lightwave's New Network Access Agent Brings Remote Test Capabilities To DWDM Networks New Addition to NAA Product Family Offers DWDM Network Providers Cost-Effective Solution to Proactive Analysis and Rapid Identification Of Network Outages CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Lightwave(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: DIGL), announced today its first centralized Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) test and monitoring system, which enables communications service providers to more easily, cost-effectively and rapidly monitor, test and resolve network issues for both new and existing optical networks. Digital Lightwave designed its new Network Access Agent(TM) IV (NAA(TM) IV) for DWDM in response to customers' needs for a test system that provides the capabilities to do the following: * Automate and conduct on-demand testing of multiple DWDM fibers and embedded OC-48 signals, including optical power measurements, signal-to-noise ratio, graphical spectrum analysis, and SONET overhead analysis * Quickly pinpoint problems or potential problems, reducing trouble-shooting time * Centralize and remotely manage networks, increasing technician efficiency and reducing costs associated with training and equipment * Proactively monitor DWDM networks, reducing risk of lost revenue and Service Level Agreement penalties * Accommodate future DWDM bandwidth growth with a flexible and scalable system architecture * Easily integrate into existing Network Management Systems via standards-based interfaces. "The migration of traditional applications to Internet-based applications is driving the rapid deployment of DWDM-based backbone networks," said Digital Lightwave's executive vice president for Network Products, George Matz. "Given the revenue that can be generated by a service provider from a single DWDM channel, proactive analysis and rapid identification and correction of network outages are critical. Also, increasingly intense competition has lowered customer tolerance for outages, further underscoring the need for network-embedded performance monitoring systems such as the NAA, which is available through our direct and OEM sales channels." Digital Lightwave expects to begin shipping the Network Access Agent for DWDM in the fourth quarter of 1999. About Network Access Agents Network Access Agents (NAAs) provide centralized performance monitoring and analysis for broadband networks, from DS0 to OC-48 (including ATM), as well as remote multi-channel DWDM diagnostics on-demand (optical spectrum analysis, power and SNR measurements, and BER testing). Pioneering remote optical network testing, Digital Lightwave's NAA family of products enables service providers to cost-effectively monitor and maintain fiber optic-based networks.
