Trey--The only hope any of us have for significant stock appreciation in any xDSL oriented company is actual deployment. I believe that ADSL will fly, however, I also do not believe that will happen in a widespread manner until 1999. Therefore, you will probably see another year of turmoil in the xDSL stock community with prices going up and down with lots of volatility. At this point, I would say the market sees no large deployments happening shortly, hence the reduction of stock price. What worries me about WSTL is the longer the wait for xDSL deployment, the more of a chance another company getting the goods. That being said, the low teens look fairly decent from a risk/reward scenario. I would not rule out WSTL revisiting single digits again though. I would load up if that should happen. Hal

Trey, When it went from 21 down to 17 then to 16 then to 15 then 14 I was quite nervous/worried...VERY CONCERNED. But at this price, I don't seem to be as worried. I'm not sure if it is because "How much lower can it go?" has set in? What is the difference at this point between 12 or 10. Maybe it is because we have seen this before and we all know it is going to go back up (as you said $32 is still your selling price). Because IR basically confirmed everything is ok as of yest. & today. I just don't know...Maybe I am just going crazy at this point? Although it definately still seems pretty weak, I am hoping that we have reached the bottom? As nice as it would be for WSTL to step up to the plate and defend themselves and their shareholders, they never did it in the past when we have seem these stock flucuations and I don't expect them to do so now. Things will work out for the positive as they always have in the past! WSTL is only associated with the BEST out there in the ADSL world. They are definately one of the MAJOR players! I actually feel more confident now then before...do you really think it is going to zero???come on now. It shouldn't even see 8 again. Actually, it shouldn't even be at here at 12+ bearly! Smooth Sailing ahead???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Hope!
