What would be a useful posting for you? I have been trying to make some useful postings from my perspective of trying collaboratively develop a better understanding of the company's business and the TMN marketplace. Hey, let's put our puzzle pieces together and see the picture! BTW, what's everyone's take on the latest news? dana

This is BIG news. Most HP longtermers are lifers. They don't leave their cushy jobs unless there is a HUGE opportunity. I think Rampey drove the HP/Vertel deal from their side. He's quoted in all the press releases. This means he's very excited by the opportunity of Vertel ramping up OR HP is moving in to take Vertel over. I'm hearing other very postive things gonna happen over next month but won't waste everyone's time with speculation. We've all heard too many rumors over last year. The means that when the news does come out there will be a sharp spike in the stock because RETX investors are in the "show me" mentality. Adam Headline: Vertel Names Fred Rampey Vice President of Professional Services ====================================================================== WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 1997--Vertel, a wholly owned subsidiary of Retix (NASDAQ:RETX) and a leading supplier of telecommunications-management-network (TMN) products, today announced the appointment of Fred Rampey to the post of vice president of professional services, reporting to Bruce Brown, president and chief executive officer of Vertel.
