Byron, I just read through your initial setup for this thread. Amazing. Anyway, do you have access to the new Schwab feature, which they present as really upgraded trading software available now to their clients? If so, what could I run through it right now on DGIV that might be of benefit here? Also, I noticed something strange. I tried to cut and paste and I just can't get it to work all the time and don't have time to mess too much here but I noticed in one of your quotes a strange thing: both little net speak companies BOTH rose from nothing to 33 l/3, 33/1/4. Two companies, both peaking at 33. GMGC was IP0 and immediately peaked at 33 and dropped since that time into oblivion and apparently is finally coming back big time. Just a curiousity--what is it about 33? IS this some magic number with the high dollar traders? What gives? It's just weird, the multiple 33's showing up as a peak. I have excellent reason for questioning. A very suspicious MM I was talking to a lot 2 years ago made a statement I never forgot. He said, "It's at $2.00. After $2.00 I get out, I'm through. All the money has been made by then." I also noticed with my holdings that $2-$3 hell follows, there is a big, BIG loss of interest, and this guy might have really let slip a nasty little MM secret. That's why I wonder about seeing 33, if it is a magic time to bail number some hold dear. Just curious here. Also, I am a strong believer that most smart money still does follow the 100 year tip: Buy on the rumor. SELL on the news. There is amost always absolutely every time a pull back after news. So, of course I am a rumor and news enthusiast. There was supposed to be news by yesterday, I guess. I couldn't find any.

Top Stories: Networking Notebook: Lucent Unveils Internet Telephony Products By Kevin Petrie Staff Reporter 5/27/98 6:07 PM ET Lucent (LU:NYSE) unveiled products Wednesday that enable phone carriers and Internet service providers to exploit the "revolutionary" convergence of phone and computer networks. But an exiting Lucent scientist says the market for Internet-based telephone service, supposedly a driving force in this convergence, remains puny. Next month, MCI (MCIC:Nasdaq) will start testing Lucent's PacketStar IP switch, which is designed to compete with Cisco's (CSCO:Nasdaq) router products by using cheap silicon chips rather than software. The PacketStar promises to handle faxes, voice calls or video streams over computer networks, while enabling phone carriers to ensure different service levels for different customers. Lucent expects to be able to ship full production volumes in the fall, although it has booked no commercial orders. Another product allows carriers to handle data from old copper phone lines using such technologies as integrated services digital networks and digital subscriber lines. And a so-called gateway will convert voice signal streams into digital packets for Internet travel. Lucent's Bell Labs built all three products. Funniest thing: Arno Penzias, who retired this month as chief scientist of Bell Labs, seems cool on Internet telephony. "It's a little, cute business," Penzias says in the June 8 issue of Fortune. For example, customers are tepid on sending faxes over the Internet, Penzias says. Lucent has a product that is "slick as a whistle, a product that can save $10 billion a year, and no one's using it." A Lucent spokesman sees no contradiction. He says the products Lucent introduced Wednesday will make Internet telephone service more appealing and allow carriers to direct traffic more effectively.

LOOK FOR MID 1999 as a possible ramp up of IP/IT for the big boys. Will we be firmly established by then? From IT thread. curtis Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 10:24:34 +0100 From: Persson Ken computertelephony.org To: "'hi-temp@fnet.net'" <hi-temp@fnet.net> In 1999 looking at traditional Telecom operators they will start using IP-telephony in their switches (not with stand-alone gateways but with built in PSTN/H.323 gateways on the backplane). Companies like Nortel (Meridian 1 PBX) and Ericsson (MD110 Consono) will provide IP-telephony on the backplane mid 1999 in their PBX:s. Big NextGen telcos will turn to traditional telecom/datacom suppliers for large scale platforms with management systems that will works for thousands of ports and hundreds of locations
