Matty, One source, for me, regarding your Telia and Altavista questions was Tom Burgess. Here is his response to those questions, followed by questions of his own and a commentary: >1) Is Telia filing a lawsuit? "There is no lawsuit from them. The question should be if we are going to bring suit on them. Although I cannot discuss the details I will say that they have recently participated in some questionable business practices." >2) Is Altavista happy with the product they received? "Some technical changes are being made but other than that I'm not aware of any problems." Tom then asked the following: "Can you help me on a few questions? Are people buying ESVS? If not, why? With all our acquisition, business development and money raising activities we are involved in, it has to be one of the most undervalued Internet stocks around. Just compare us with some of our public Internet counterparts.....after the merge is complete (NETZ into ESVS) and we put the $50 mil the bank we will be in better shape than almost all the other Internet companies. Our marketshare is fantastic and growing, our management team is gelling (more new hires to be announced soon) and we are raising enough $ to help boost all our growth plans." ----------------------- Headers -------------------------------- Return-Path: <tburgess@echomedia.com> Received: from rly-zc05.mx.aol.com (rly-zc05.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.5]) by air-zc01.mail.aol.com (v40.19) with SMTP; Mon, 06 Apr 1998 12:08:02 -0400 Received: from dfw-ix10.ix.netcom.com (dfw-ix10.ix.netcom.com [206.214.98.10]) by rly-zc05.mx.aol.com (8.8.5/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with ESMTP id MAA21390 for <MWeddle752@aol.com>; Mon, 6 Apr 1998 12:05:48 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by dfw-ix10.ix.netcom.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) id LAA00394 for <MWeddle752@aol.com>; Mon, 6 Apr 1998 11:05:42 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199804061605.LAA00394@dfw-ix10.ix.netcom.com> Received: from unknown(208.230.56.51) by dfw-ix10.ix.netcom.com via smap (V1.3) id rma000311; Mon Apr 6 11:05:21 1998 X-Sender: t_burges@popd.ix.netcom.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 11:12:46 -0400 To: MWeddle752 <MWeddle752@aol.com> From: Thomas Burgess <tburgess@echomedia.com> Subject: Re: Two questions In-Reply-To: <5798c2cc.3528ecd4@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

OK, Matty, your turn. Here's some questions for ya, plus a bonus one at the end: 1) Where did the following excerpted information come from? >>>>>>>>>>>"....The partners have been picked, and now the competition begins in the online ad sales business. Zulu-tek, a Newport, Rhode Island, holding company formerly known as Netmaster Group, announced on Monday its purchase of a controlling interest in Softbank Interactive Marketing, the Number Two player in the networked ad sales arena...." "....Zulu-tek's primary subsidiary is a company called EchoMedia, which makes software that can deliver appropriate ads - from low-bandwidth graphics to TV-style commercials - based on a user's platform. EchoMedia is allied with Prodigy, USA Today, and AltaVista - which also happens to be DoubleClick's bread-and-butter customer. Softbank Interactive Marketing represents a network of sites that include Netscape, HotMail, and Playboy...." "'....EchoMedia has some terrific, state-of-the-art banner technology that we plan to introduce to our network within the next 45 to 60 days. And our sales staff can work to get their technology out there to other clients....'" "....The Zulu-tek/Softbank combination makes Softbank a stronger second-tier competitor to DoubleClick, analysts say..."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 2) Can you name a profitable online internet advertising company? 3) What other penny stock has at the helm (i.e. CEO) someone like a former personal advisor to a 6.5 billion dollar company and who also was a top-notch executive with divisional control in a company like Texas Instruments? 4) How many other internet advertising companies completed and are negotiating as many acquisitions as Zulu-tek has within a one-year period of time? 5) How easy is it, really, to put together a formal audit--for absolute public scrutiny--the finances of a company that so quickly has merged so many companies into one umbrella? 6) What kind of synergy will exist between EchoMedia and NB Digital? What can you tell us about NB Digital? Also, does Laptop Solutions add a new dimension into the whole mix? The Hayton Mix: 7) How many other companies have had investors--just like you and me, except with more money and connections--who've also had SEC scraps in the past? 8) How many SEC-sanctioned brokers are still brokers on Wall Street today? 9) How many deals get made and who gets introduced in all the golf clubs and yachting clubs here and there? 10) Can troubled people still have good ideas? Bonsus Question: 11) What wouldn't you do for a Klondike Bar? I'm not saying I have all the answers above--though the bonsus question's a gimme. But beyond what I do know, I at least have ideas and suppositions. I value each and am very long on NETZ.
