Dear Sir: In response to your question, we currently have a deployment of S-HDSL Etherphone equipment from PairGain in the Phoenix AZ area. We have however recently announced an upgrade to RADSL equipment from NetSpeed for a 40 city rollout including the Phoenix area (see www.uswest.com for details). We will continue to use the PairGain equipment and as customers upgrade to higher MegaBIT (xDSL service) speeds we will then be able to provision them to the new architecture. We also plan to have a "migration" protection program for existing customers. The Paradyne interest is primarily with regards to their new MVL CHIP technology--not full-scale deployment of their Hotwire DSLAMS or modems. Earlier analyst speculation was inaccurate. We believe that the MVL chip technologies could be of interest for us in long loop or lower rate ADSL service classes in our MegaBIT Services (xDSL) portfolio. We also continue to use the PairGain HDSL equipment for provisioning T-1 circuits. Sincerely, Greg Gum Executive Director, MegaBIT Services Sounds interesting Ryan

Guess you had to be there, John. When Charlie was asked about Falcon, he replied with "we're pretty excited about Falcon". Then to be sure he wouldn't be sued later if the stock didn't go up 10 points tomorrow, he settled down and said, "Falcon won't sweep the market, there are other products out there available but Falcon has the lowest power useage and" sorry can't remember exactly what he said after that but it was very positive on Falcon being the market preference.
