>>Are they saying deployment for trials or deployment in the network carrying live traffic after trials are completed? Technically they might not be lying if they say deployed and it is deployed for trials. Deployed is a generic word and can mean a lot. Technically management of this company is sneaky and you can't trust what they say. They tried to con everyone into believing that NASA was interested in testing their Gigamux for purchase.<< This relationship is beneficial for Osicom in that they are able to gain field knowledge of the product and make further refinements. It was important news in that they actually have a unit that can be shipped for field trials. Unlike the competition to this point. The same thing is happening at Worldcom in my estimation. Worldcom could lead to sales. The news release said that NASA was testing the Gigamux, which technically is correct, and technically was all the news that there was to report. I don't see how this makes them sneaky, they are just reporting the facts. Go back and read Cienna's news release about the recent deal with MCI. It has a minimum value of 0. Which means it could turn out they sell nothing. Would you call that sneaky as well? Craig only fools will believe that every publically traded company won't try to put a positive on things, or that they are more forthright than is minimally necessary, this is the way business works. For example some real big companies guide analysts lower in order to surprise to the upside. All in a normal day in the stock market. You however spin this normalcy into plots and doubt in what appears to me to be a deliberate effort to discredit Osicom and drive down the stock. Don't even give me one of your flippant answers, even if we disagree on the prospects of Osicom, you know by now I'm not an idiot, and I won't buy any of your BS. It is your puporsefull sensationalism of the mundane backed up by slanderous statements like, "Technically management of this company is sneaky and you can't trust what they say." that have Osicoms lawyers after you. And I don't blame them in the least. Ironically there are many reasonable and bearish arguments that could be made against Osicom that you don't ever come close to mentioning. This leads me to believe you don't even understand the technology and have only come here to spin terrible tales. Tales which could be spun about just about every public company out there. Scott
