Scrapps, Flickerful: where can I get my decoder ring so I can understand your recent correspondence? <G> Aware's been such an exciting stock lately huh? The noise from all the press releases is deafening. You must remember all those forthcoming announcements. Looks like a serious loss of momentum in the xDSL arena. Any opinions about Paradyne's MVL system and the likelihood that it will be serious competition? Also, I'd like to know more details about Aware's modem manufacturing capabilities. It would appear to me that they don't have much (if any) capacity (see below). Nor have I heard they are outsourcing production. Any speculation about what their plans are?
