Elk, you said, "...His opinion is that this stock has been under accumulation for a minimum of 6 weeks..." Hmmm, isn't that about the time the quarter was complete, and any "large block owners" would have been declared in the 10Q? Or do I have that wrong? Charles, I only meant by the names GTE and WCOM and MCI that those three are linked with FTEL. GTE's OC-24 lines running into FTEL property "for free?" and the stated deal with WCOM. Now, as to MCI, the only connection I know of is the WCOM attempted merger, AND the fact that whenever, over the last 4 to 6 weeks, whenever I run "tracert" to either FTEL and FNET's site, ONLY MCI comes up in my hops. Could be coincidence. Maybe not. rd ********** Tracing route to www.ftel.com [205.138.219.196] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 213 ms 169 ms 169 ms usr30.mix2.Atlanta.mci.net [166.55.48.117] 2 175 ms 169 ms 179 ms mix2-ethernet1-2.Atlanta.mci.net [166.55.48.97] 3 216 ms 158 ms 178 ms core2-fddi-0.Atlanta.mci.net [204.70.86.49] 4 205 ms 169 ms 229 ms core3.Memphis.mci.net [204.70.125.1] 5 175 ms 199 ms 189 ms core1-hssi-2.Houston.mci.net [204.70.1.33] 6 195 ms 208 ms 188 ms border2-fddi-0.Houston.mci.net [204.70.3.98] 7 265 ms 269 ms 259 ms franklin-telecom.Houston.mci.net [204.70.37.58] 8 225 ms 239 ms 229 ms www.ftel.com [205.138.219.196] Trace complete. **************** Tracing route to www.fnet.net [206.24.87.119] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 221 ms 198 ms 188 ms usr30.mix2.Atlanta.mci.net [166.55.48.117] 2 765 ms 179 ms 179 ms mix2-ethernet1-2.Atlanta.mci.net [166.55.48.97] 3 204 ms 188 ms 168 ms core2-fddi-0.Atlanta.mci.net [204.70.86.49] 4 240 ms 179 ms 179 ms core3.Memphis.mci.net [204.70.125.1] 5 240 ms 199 ms 189 ms core1-hssi-2.Houston.mci.net [204.70.1.33] 6 274 ms 679 ms 209 ms border2-fddi-0.Houston.mci.net [204.70.3.98] 7 235 ms 239 ms 269 ms franklin-telecom.Houston.mci.net [204.70.37.58] 8 255 ms 289 ms 299 ms www.fnet.net [206.24.87.119] Trace complete. 14:49 ************** Could be nothing.
