>>>TRAV<--------The scum ridden Firm that supports AMPD, has gone " Super Cap" which means they have exceeded their capital base and are now in violation of NET Cap rules for the NASD. They can be shut down at any minute. We must not let TRAV survive!!! Keep the pressure on!! take out TRAV and AMPD all in one shot!!<<< A@P....could you please elaborate on what this means? How did they exceed their capital base..by stock price? What is the NET Cap? Thanks for your reply.

This PR this morning has to be the most pathetic thing i've ever seen. I guess when your "super cap" you can't afford a full length PR. The Company's new products are compatible to the existing IEEE 802.11 standards. The Company believes that its products will offer a solution to ISP's requiring high speed internet access, at a fraction of the cost of having wired internet service. Again for the dummies, it ain't the wire that cost money, it's what goes over the wire. If I get a wireless hookup to my ISP for free, I mean if they give away the equipment, I still have to pay for the bandwidth. The ISP get a T1 for $1000 a month for instance. That's 1.5 megabits/second. If I use half that amount of bandwidth I would have to pay over $500(they have to make a profit). Or I could get DSL or a cable modem(coming soon to a city near you) for $50 a month and get the same bandwidth. Duh, what to do. Again, this type of wireless equipment, from much bigger companies cost $2000+ per location. Does anyone really believe that AMPD has found a way to do this for $100 or less so Johnny Lunchpail can afford it? Good, I didn't think so. Did I mention that even if it was $100, you'd still have to pay an exorbitant fee for the bandwidth? Yeah I guess I did. When you see QCOM talk about wireless internet, then get excited, until then, get short. Forget it TRAV, your toast on this one punk. Mr. Burns
