ACCL make voice over broadband products, both at the central site as well as the customers location. I first heard of ACCL about 3 years ago when I was selling a competing product. Very good management & engineering teams, however their sales staff is slightly under-staffed. Their product line is mainly focused on ISP/CLEC's/BLEC's/LEC's who offer DSL services using an existing ATM infrastructure. Hot market, only a few smaller competitors; Nortel, Lucent & Cisco currently do not have products that fit in this exact market space. Their propriety software is very good, however having propriety software in this marketspace could be a problem down the road. I think the company will do very well as they are backed by some very good players / customers. I know they work very closely with MCI & I've heard potential sales of $50+ million coming from such carriers. well see, I think the stock is a good one to own.

ACCL's technology has to do with converging voice and data access (i.e. "last mile") networks over ATM. Competition will come from other small players like CopperCom, Jetstream and TollBridge as well as from the big players. They have a market cap of 1.75 bil., a loss of 21 mil. on 9 mil. revenue for '99. They're not profitable, have no int'l presence to speak of, and a ton of competition. Everyone and his brother's going to be jumping into this market, the so-called next generation network. Nice play for the first 2 days but wouldn't want to be left holding the bag. Skipper
