A little news about CTI Franklin & billing software> ctimag.com then Icon> "Best Of CTI EXPO Spring '98 Award Winners" FRANKLIN TELECOM As we move past the initial hype of Internet telephony, service providers are realizing that one of the biggest problems they have to deal with is billing and authorization. Therefore, Franklin Telecom has unveiled their Tempest Billing and Authorization Server, which runs on Windows NT with SQL server. Without a flexible billing service, the network owner cannot maximize revenue. Without an authorization service, the network owner cannot control usage. When a call is placed, the Server performs two primary functions. First, it authenticates the user (via a PIN) and verifies account information (i.e., credit). Then, it applies least-cost routing options to route the call efficiently and in a timely manner. For more information, visit the company's Web site at www.ftel.com. I hope this wasn't posted before> Temp'

off topic: 20% and less capital gains tax. taxpractice.com fool.com Gingrich: Slash Top Capital Gains Tax Rate By Eric Pianin Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, June 25, 1998; Page A04 House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) yesterday presented a potentially costly plan to slash the top capital gains tax rate on investors for the second time in two years, even as his party frets over how to pay for another election-year promise of major tax relief for married couples. ~~ Speaking at a large GOP gathering resembling a cross between a college economics lecture and a political pep rally, Gingrich said another reduction in the capital gains tax rate would "supercharge" an already muscular American economy and unleash a tidal wave of untapped capital gains that would run up government revenue and more than offset the cost of the tax cut. Congress last year reduced the maximum capital gains rate from 28 percent to 20 percent. Under Gingrich's plan - to be offered in September as part of a GOP tax package - the top rate would be further reduced to 15 percent while the rate for lower-income investors would be cut from 10 percent to 7.5 percent. ~~~~ Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) indicated he will introduce a similar bill after the July 4 recess. But White House officials, Hill Democrats and some congressional budget and tax analysts took a dim view of Gingrich's proposal. washingtonpost.com general tax info at taxpractice.com Always consult a tax adviser- it's your money-Ray edit also OT CD news biz.yahoo.com
