Ted, slap!!! slap!!! Y'all awake! gggggg Ted, good post and yes I'm with you, although I welcome all the newcomers to this thread, I tend to be skeptical. I have followed every move Franklin has made for 30 months now and find it amusing when new talent shows up on the board informing me of what I own. Don't get me wrong, I find both Atin's and Kenneth's posts enlightening and refreshing and welcome a comparative technical perspective of the VOIP markets. In having a more rounded and all encompasing perspective as to Franklin as "a whole", I concur with Debra and Martin, Franklin has a lot more to offer than just a I-T gateway. What some of the new people have done in my opinion, is focus on just the DVG, and not look at the total picture. For example, Atin has remarked how the DVG doesn't have PBX capabilities. True. But one has to look no further than the D-Mark FXO product to find such capabilities. To go one step further, Franklin allows existing PBX's full digital features even if the presently installed PBX is somewhat outdated, giving them a broader market, and a price/performance edge over the competition. In other words, Franklin can go after the mass market, including the small and medium size corporations, which far outnumber the large/deep pockets that the competition is focused on. It all goes back to the phrase "Who cares who wins the Commo Wars, bet on the fellow that supplies the bullets." RB BTW, a few other companies that fit this theme: VOXW supplying compression Codecs that have been licensed by Lucent, MSFT, and other big hitters in the industry. MCDY a leader in satellite telemetry. HAUP may be a wildcard once VideoConferncing becomes more entrenched within the VOIP sector.

Thank you Ted for your insightful, deeply penetrating, and articulate analysis of my motives for posting on the FTEL thread. You should be proud. RB, no comment on your response to him, I respect that you were the one who found FTEL for many of these people. People, I will be happy to answer any questions about IP telephony, or telephony in general on the 'Internet Telephony - The new hot sector' exchange2000.com thread on SI or the NSPK or NMSS groups. I feel I was honest in my writing here, I acknowledged I work for a competitor very early in my writing, I did not push my own company (quite the contrary, I was actually discouraging someone here from buying the stock this late), and I was trying to explain IP telephony is layman's terms in answer to questions people asked me. Good luck, -Atin
