Barb, i hope you stick around. you always have excellant analysis. Its not your fault that osicom is so "mysterious" . I sold at $5.75 (and made my double) a few days ago because i just could not bear to go through another earnings fiasco. This company almost always never have any real good news. Just promises. So I took my bird in the hand. Maybe when the unnamed "multi-billion dollar company" shows an interest I will to.

I just want to see some accountability. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The main point that most people don't seem to understand is that the last two quarters of disappointing results were a result of a couple OEM's delayed purchasing, and business will resume to normal levels beginning this quarter...Q4 is where "dreams" begin to get realized" ----David Pawlak, Nov 4 1997 exchange2000.com "All pistons are firing now and the business is back to usual and the OEMS that have held us back the last 2 quarters are now committed to taking delivery of product in Q4" ----David Pawlak, Nov 12 1997 exchange2000.com "More importantly is that the company has made a statement that backlog is at record levels and that a record quarter is likely, which makes a huge statement about the reversal of a bad trend." ----David Pawlak, Nov 12 1997 exchange2000.com "What they are saying, is that the issues that have effected them negatively in the last 2 quarters are now resolved and they have record backlog, which may lead to record revenues and earnings which will surpass expenses leading to profitablity once again." ----David Pawlak, Nov 13 1997 exchange2000.com "Mark- if you were the CFO, and you just reported backlog of $27 million, which is more than your revenues of the qtr just reported alone, and your prior record backlog was $10 million, wouldn't you be pretty optimistic? They stated that they felt they would be delivering about 85% of that backlog in this qtr. On top of that, they also ship products during the qtr immediately that aren't included in the backlog number. I'm expecting that will add another $15 - 20 million in revenues." ----David Pawlak, Dec 8 1997 exchange2000.com "To me, the writing is on the wall and they couldn't make it much clearer... Record backlog, IQX-200 selling for the first whole quarter (and selling well from what I hear), Net Arm starting to sell this quarter and Gigamux in beta trials with significant revenues likely starting in Q1, stock buyback program, gross margins improving, more concentration on balance sheet issues like DSO's, etc" ----David Pawlak, Dec 21 1997 exchange2000.com "With record backlog and the 3 major new products finally hitting the income statement, I don't expect any dissappointments going forward." ----David Pawlak, Dec 21 1997 exchange2000.com "I would imagine that FIBR would give them a pretty good deal because having NASA endorse the product via a sale is worth a lot more than the profit that could be made from a sale at full cost that might prohibit such a sale. Just my opinion." ----David Pawlak, Dec 23 1997 exchange2000.com "All of the work to bring out significant new products with the combined technologies is finally starting to pay off (admittedly, a few months later than I expected). This quarter appears to be on track to be a potential record breaker and demand is heating up for their new products to propell revenues and earnings much higher" ----David Pawlak, Dec 30 1997 exchange2000.com "We should see a healthy increase in Gross Margins from Far East production as well as contributions from new, higher gross margin products" ----David Pawlak, Dec 30 1997 exchange2000.com "I haven't finished updating my model yet, but I'm roughly expecting earnings anywhere from $.06 - .12 on revenues from $36 - 42 million." ----David Pawlak, Dec 30 1997 exchange2000.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ None of these things came true. Gross margins were flat, NASA isn't a customer, revenue and earnings projections were missed badly and the record backlog did no good. A couple of million shares were added to the outstanding diluting shareholder value 10-15%.

It took me almost a year to admit that craig was right. I shorted at 5 1/2 and 6 and made money yesterday. (as others catagorize short sellers) ---> Welcome to the dark side. dr.seuss.com P.S. Thanks for the suggestion of adding .com to my name. Even though it doesn't make any sense, I've been making more money ever since. Just like all them other internet stocks.

Publicity, for better or worse,begets prestige. ..<.Saturday, Jan 24 1998 4:59PM Gotcha...I was waiting for YOU.... Your quick reaction to my postings my dear Barb will fuel the suspicion of some on this thread that you and Craig are one of a kind. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Remember that Barb? That was in January when I started to do some research into the internet SHORTER circle of which I suspected you to be a member. Shorting stocks is ok with me any time. As such. But manipulating in total anonymity listed stock and as consequence seeding maggots into my portfolio without informing me about, I do not like one bit. I am finished with my research and leaving. I made my money back with FIBR and consequently have no legal case against Mr. Craig Crawford. To all those who think that Craig is bad wait until you meet the whole gang. You need to wake up on this thread and on many others real quick. If I could play the keyboards of the Media, my opinionated research findings would ring some bells and activate at least some serious thoughts about the internet as medium for stocktrading in present format. A demonstration to render credibility to my argument that Internet Shorters active on message boards and live chat centers are working together in tacit collusion to bring about the temporary fall of a listed stock on the Nasdaq Exchange is not within my power or ability. All I can say is that it is better to be a half-step ahead and understood than a whole step and ignored. And I presuppose that the readers understand exactly what I am saying. There is neither the space or the lust, to elaborate further, but I am volunteering one technical tip. They work together. Every thread which those particular SHORTERS select for a downfall contains the positive hype resident member as well as the negative.The sleepers. It is the new face which appears and starts the steering process and then those sleepers establish "credibility" for the newcomer. Follow the negative input, via the profile-messages and you find the same victimized corporations and the same SHORTERS. I could deliver eye openers galore. But why should I? What are you doing for me? When you want to change this nonsense You let me know.OK.? skymidi.com Now Barb as far as YOU are concerned I have not forgotten what YOU called me. THE NEW UNIBOMBER. Now it is pay back time. After slime balling the FIBR Yahoo thread for about a month which included even a public share count on that thread. You turned on them unfortunate massaged souls. In my opinion because YOU and your peers expected a panic sell out on Friday. They did not panic as you expected and now YOU are in the hot seat. Who are YOU kidding when telling that you will go short on Monday. You are short on FIBR a long time in my opinion. Mar 7 1998 7:16AM EST ...You people who think I backstabbed you can go fuck yourselves. You're nothing more than stupid sheep that can't fucking read a balance sheet, or realize that you're being diluted out of your position. There are 38.7 million shares more for Par and company to issue. Mar 7 1998 7:41AM EST You can go fuck yourself as well. Barb A turned down Atlanta whore would not utilize this type of vocabulary in public view. And she would be much smarter as YOU not getting caught red handed with such a malicious SHORTERS dream into the future fabrication which only shows that YOU do not understand to read the facts a balance sheet expresses in black and white. YOU DUMBBELL! Have a nice day! EDDY BLINKER

I voted against the increase in the number of authorized shares. I think a lot of people who are now complaining about dilution voted for it. * * * I publicly call on Par and Sharon Chadha to resign from Osicom, and call on the board to bring in a management team with proven experience elsewhere. The Chadhas continue to own about 20% of the company, and assuming the products and prospects are legitimate, would benefit greatly from the company's success, even if they have no future part in its management. This should not be an ego trip for them. They have been tainted by the Barron's report, and by shareholder dissatisfaction over their continued promises that never materialize. The company's last 10-K spoke of the company's "new IQX-200 Remote Access Server." A year has now gone by. How many of these highly-touted products have been sold? What have they produced in sales and earnings? For the Chadhas' sake, I hope they eventually win the lawsuit against Barron's/Dow Jones, and for my own sake, I hope the IQX-200/GigaMux/Net+ARM soon capture a huge market share. But right now, I feel that the Chadas' have lost all credibility, and I want them gone from this company's management.

Barbara, you're so transparent. These are the very things you defended before you decided to go short. Now all of a sudden they are inexplicable. Go short if that is where you think the money is. But to jump in bed with Craig is hard to swallow (although I remember how strongly you defended him when he first started his abusive string of unending posts about Osicom a few weeks ago). There is nothing new about FIBR today that you didn't know yesterday - except you want to influence readers the opposite of how you wanted to yesterday. Fine, as long as you do it with the dignity that this company and many stockholders deserve. Please strive to keep it clean!
