I hear what your saying. No argument from me! But....... Throughout FCM filings, you'll notice that their marketing expenses are listed as nil or basically nothing. I believe this is their first attempt at a national campaign. (anyone, correct me if I'm wrong?) My only real concern is....is FCM ready to handle all the demos they are going to be hit with? With the 10K to be released shortly, it will prove interesting, one way or the other. For the time being, I'm long FCM. Rick

To all: I've owned this stock for three years now, and have seen it go from $1.50 (9/96) to $10 (10/97) to $.40 (10/98) to today's closing. The significance of the Fortune piece is EXPOSURE!! This stock will not move until it gets some notice, and THAT is what this Fortune article will bring: exposure and credibility. Franklin, in an article with household names Lucent, Sun, and even Teligent (with all the advertising they've been doing). Just think: most Internet Telephony companies are losing tons of money. Once people check out Franklin, they will find a company that is growing by leaps and bounds, and reported a PROFITABLE quarter recently. Can Clarent say that? Can Teligent boast that? NO! But people know who they are, and their share prices reflect their future potential, not their current worth. Franklin SHOULD be valued much higher once the street recognizes they exist! OB
