Well, we never knew what the margins were on those OEM modems for Apple, but the company has now reversed itself and will be including 56k hardware modems (not Geoport) in the iMac. So GVIL would've likely gotten orders for at least 600,000 of the puppies this year. Sigh. Go Boca. Marc

Ron, I disagree with some of your analysis in your response. GVIL was not a disaster from the IPO onward. GVIL went public at $8 and stayed in a trading range not far from there throughout much of 1994. In 1995 the stock traded up smartly, getting way ahead of itself. It peaked at $24 and change. By mid-1996 it was back to the IPO price and continuously weakened from then until now. As far as profits go, the company had a fine track record for both profit and growth up until the end of 1995. They put together a record of 11 or 12 quarters in a row of 50%+ year over year growth; few others could say that. From 1996 on they had near zero success competing. The management simply could not adapt to a world where Apple wasn't their guiding light, and where people were not willing to line up to pay big prices for fax software. Pete F.
