For serious FNTN investors only! THIS IS A REPOST OF INFORMATION POSTED ON THE RAGING BULL.ragingbull.com FYI: I SPOKE WITH RUSTY FROM RAGING BULL TODAY AND THEY ARE WORKING ON A PRIVATE MESSAGE SYSTEM LIKE THAT FOUND ON SI. I POST PRIMARILY ON RAGING BULL. BEST OF ALL IT'S FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE A NICE IGNORE FEATURE FOR ANNOYING MEMBERS. These are excerpts from correspondence with FNTN ( Michael Sheppard )!

A1: no, yes C1: ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR A REPORTING COMPANY Q2: Date of Intranet debut? A2: this week C2: CONFIRMED AS EXPECTED Q3: Will fntn provide any services to individual investors directly? A3: not presently, maybe in the future C3: CONFIRMED, BUT UPBEAT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY Q4: Does siemens have any financial relationship with fntn other than in providing vendor equipment? A4: This is a very strong tech/rd/development relationship/partnership. C4: SIEMENS IS KNEE DEEP IN ALL ASPECTS Q5: Who is designing the web site outside of fntn's core employees?

A10: we are in the process of hiring an outside firm C11: THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE IT IMPLIES THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SO BUT ALSO EXPECT BIG THINGS SOON REQUIRING ALOT OF INVESTOR PR! Q12: Will any news be released prior to 7/17/1998? A12: no comment C12: CONFIRMS IN MY MIND WE SHOULD SEE NEWS THIS WEEK WITH THE DEBUT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPROPER FOR HIM TO REPLY ANY OTHER WAY! Q13: How many employees does fntn have? please break this down as specifically as possible. i.e. sales, marketing, management etc.! A13: six, every thing else is outsorced including all outside sales, they are all IC's [ independent contractors ].

Please post any commentary or further updates! All of the commentary is just my opinion!!!!!!!! Pj
