Hiram, Could you provide references to your comment: "I hear ADSL stinks" I am thinking of getting it and would like to read some feed back. --------- I still think the big story here is WavePhore+SkyCache and not WaveTop.... but I guess MSFT rumor and WaveTop are the current hot topics. Deeds is said to appear on Squawk Box at 8am Mon. If you listened in on one of the past conference calls you know he has a good presence.

Hiram, I'll agree with you that ADSL has it's problems, my understanding is that the power levels necessary to support the bandwidth on twisted-pair causes a lot of interference on typical buried cable; perhaps others here could clarify this. I'm not a momentum trader, at least as I understand it, I just follow trends, but not into the stratosphere. I don't think Wavephore's in the "stratosphere" price-wise (nor is HLIT which I follow, too), unlike a lot of internet-related stocks. A lot of attention is focussed on WaveTop, which I'll be getting as soon as I get my copy of Win98, plus the tuner card, but I think your view of WaveTop is pretty fair, it's not a replacement for your ISP connection, rather it makes RECEIVING selected content much easier, freeing up your phone line for other things. I like the concept a lot, and for about the cost of my copy of Win98 I'll pop in the tuner card, but I am much more interested in Wavephore's existing data broadcasting technology to businesses and their collaboration with Skycache. There's so much focus on WaveTop, and that's fine, but they're into a lot of other areas. Regards, Dave
