Pied - didn't occur to me the symbolism of the acroynm. Apologies if necessary. Sometimes short-hand is easier. Re: WSTL - all of your thoughts are extremely compelling. Me...having ridden the adsl wave with AMTX for several years, I've gradually lost interest in the tech and the area. Eventually the tech will happen but it's hard as hell for me to figure out how to make money. Therefore, WSTL is a hangover from previous moments of euphoria. Thankfully, my exposure is very, very, very small. Peter

piper-- ok, lets talk about pair. they just lost their big HDSL contract for deployments with USWest, and their falcon is a no show. if we assume that adsl is the future, not hdsl, then the case doesnt look good for PAIR. now, while there arent any real details about the deployments, that still leaves WSTL with BEL, BT and GTE. who does PAIR have on the ADSL front of their business? ALL of these companies are specualtive. one is not necessarily better than another simple because no one really knows hwo this is going unfold. i will tell you this though, i feel a lot more comfortable with WSTL and its partners than i do with PAIR. good luck to all, trey
