Taken from The Globe and Mail Staff and wires Thursday, February 17, 2000 $13, up $1.45 Shares of NHC Communications Inc. have jumped in the past two sessions since the company announced the successful completion of interoperability tests between its virtual cross connect solution and Promatory Communications Inc.'s intelligent multiservice access system. Virtual cross connect allows digital subscriber line (DSL) testing and connection to be completed remotely. Intelligent multiservice access system (IMAS) provides high-speed bandwith to DSL users. The compatibility between the two systems means that Promatory's IMAS can be tested and deployed remotely, said Sylvain Brossard, vice-president of finance and operations for NHC. Previously, this could only be done manually, he said.
