DUe Diligence directly from an ISP provider on ADSP!!!!!

All this is is a 4 T1 port interface card that is installed into a PC
running LINUX or WINDOWS NT. This card does not have any of the
authntication or management utilities it is depending on the services
installed in the Windows NT server. Big problems with this card. This
causes a major reliability factor because Windows NT SUCKS as a remote dial
up server. This has been a major problem with NT. It does not have the
power to perform this number of tasks fast enough. Unix on the other hand
is better but the problem exists in the ability of the PC. ISP's will stick
with the current configuration and will not depend on this. It will be a
nice solution for the fly by night ISP or the corporate company looking to
allow customers dial up access.

Sunrise Shares Rise After FDA Grants 2nd Panel Review (Update2)

Bloomberg article casts doubt on SNRS chances of success.

quote.bloomberg.com

Excerpt...

The panel said the company didn't provide enough data showing the effect of the laser didn't wear off over time. The company still faces an uphill battle to change panel members' minds, an analyst said.

``Best-case scenario for the company: It receives approval for the temporary correction of hyperopia,' said Richard Leza, an analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group. ``And I can't see this happening because this means a patient would need to go back to be re-treated every two years.'

The company said it had compiled additional data from the
trials it presented in July, and would use the meeting to address ``earlier concerns regarding the change in refractive effect over time.'

One panel member, Michael Grimmett of the University of
Miami, presented an analysis of the company's data to the panel in July. ``Since it can be reasonably construed that the average patient will want more than a temporary refractive effect, it is my firm opinion the (laser) is not approvable,' he said at the meeting.

At that time, the panel said it would like to see two-year
results of 300 surgeries. Sunrise presented 18-month results of 144 surgeries at the meeting.

****

If Sunrise presented 18-month results of 144 surgeries at the July meeting, they can now present two-year results for 144 surgeries. How are they going to get the two-year data on the additional 156 surgeries needed to reach 300? If they come up with this data, how are they going to explain why they didn't include the 156 additional patients in the original group?
