>>>even a noise-level sale might have been meaningful had the customer not turned out to be a PBX vendor. So you'd poo-poo Lucent, Nortel, Meridian, Rolm, Mitel, etc. with that too? They all build PBXs and I haven't heard anything about them ceasing to do so. Expect a slow and only partial migration to LAN-based PBX systems over the next 5 years and understand they all need remote access capabilities as well. Sure - some that go over to a LAN-based PBX may incorporate the Internet for remote access but the issues against doing so still remain. I think if you did a little research you'd find a large percentage of the major corporates are searching for solutions that do not rely on the internet for connectivity. Now here's a company I really like, sure wish they were public: selsius.com Note carefully that while you can set up a nice inter-office phone system with their phones and one of their dedicated servers that you need additional equipment to interface it to the outside world. No, you can't just hook the thing up to the internet and have dial-tone service, all you become is a simple dedicated voice gateway over a very undesirable network for carrying full-duplex real-time voice traffic. You know something? If someone big were to go with a Selsius system and they wanted to use BT for their remote access I'd bet RACE could easily emulate Selsius' PBX code. Oh - don't forget anyone with a current PBX system isn't likely to even begin to think about replacing it until it's been totally depreciated taxwise.

Not to rain further despair upon those who are on the other side of this issue but I can't help feeling that NEC could buy the whole company without much trouble. If they are sold on the product and the synergy is there, why wouldn't they? Haven't been following NEC recently but even with $/Yen problems they still have enough $ for a few million shares @ $3. My guess is they plan on checking it out really good then, maybe, picking up RACE at the sheriff's auction. Frank
