Max, at present I believe Telsource is handling the bulk of the installations mainly because they begin the intensive process of training and installation documentation some time back, therefore they might be considered to be the most efficient organization to handle the anticipated demand due to their nationwide infrastructure. They also came with a balanced experience in voice, data and PBX systems having been the right hand of AT&T for a long time. I think you're also correct in that their familiarity with many of the major corporates would certainly have to be viewed as a big plus. While I don't think we have any idea how many installation & service technicians they have I'd think it to be a fair number due to the 24 x 7 policy of their nationwide organization. We have also heard they recently found it necessary to begin hiring additional installation personnel due to an unexpected demand for BT installations. This isn't hype folks, it's just what a couple of them have told more than one of us in honest conversation and I don't know why they'd be fabricating stories. I suppose a few of you might go on to say they're all shareholders trying to move the stock but if that were true I'd pay more attention to them being shareholders in the first place. In the recent release we find: >>>"a third of Data General's U.S. sales offices and over 50 salespeople have been trained " - and - >>>"While the Inacom Communications national distribution agreement was only recently signed, DATA RACE has already trained three sales offices, representing over 25 salespeople. " If I recall Data General has quite a few offices: dg.com And many of us are already familiar with Inacom's organization: >>>"Thank you for your interest in the Sales Division of Inacom Information Systems of Oklahoma.

The advantage would come in that Data Race's technology is capable of transmitting the speech portion of a videoconferencing link using a minimal amount of bandwidth thus leaving more room for the video, and that's very important when dealing with the limited bandwidth of the POTS infrastructure as your connection.
