I think this ocured before LU spun off...so the LU deal is probably a continuation....

CAIRO -- AT&T won a contract to expand and upgrade Egypt's telecommunications network in the regions around Cairo
and Alexandria.

The agreement, worth $23.5 million, is part of the Arab Republic of Egypt Telecommunications Organization's
(ARENTO's) "Telecom V" project to improve Egypt's nationwide network. It is being funded by a grant to Egypt by the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

"We believe that our expertise in designing and provisioning telecommunications networks worldwide will serve ARENTO
well," said Dick Brandt, vice president of AT&T Network Systems International for Europe, Middle East and Africa. "In
addition, our products are engineered to perform reliably and grow with ARENTO's network."

AT&T Network Systems will supply and install more than 100,000 lines, upgrading existing switching sites at Marioteya,
Pyramid, Opera, Giza and Mokattam, and adding new remote switching sites at Kerdassa, Shobrament and Gleem.

The contract includes installation of AT&T's 5ESSr-2000 Switching Systems, the company's flagship product; technical
support; and training for ARENTO'S engineers and technicians.

The installation is scheduled for completion in the second quarter, 1996.

AT&T has been doing business in Egypt since 1981 with the first USAID-funded project, Telecom I. The $100 million
project called for AT&T Network Systems to replace rotary switching technology with analog switches. In 1993, AT&T
completed the latest USAID-funded project, a $14 million contract to engineer, provision and install a copper wire
expansion project in and around Cairo.

AT&T Network Systems International, based in Hilversum, the Netherlands, is AT&T's European sales, research and
development, manufacturing and supply company for telecommunications equipment. It has subsidiaries in most European
and Middle Eastern countries.

The company serves telecommunications authorities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with products, technologies and
a range of professional services for end-to-end telecommunications solutions. Products include switching and transmission
equipment, operations and network management systems, and wireless and cable systems.

[with the people behind IPVoice Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPVC)]

First of all, this company, IPVC, is --not-- on the Nasdaq, but is on the OTC BB (see quote.yahoo.com )

So, let's see -- you have a dubious OTC BB company claiming to be in the voice-over-IP area, while using a paid promoter ("Emerging Company Report"). Where have I seen this scenario before? Hint: it's what this message thread is about... DGIV shareholders should probably rush right out and buy some of this new company IPVC, since it is acting the same was as DGIV!

THE DEPLUMATION OF CHICKENS
Reports of tornadoes removing feathers from chickens abound, so they are probably true. Some say the noise of the storm is enough to scare the feathers loose. Reports of deplumation have decreased lately, and why not; the pampered chicken is kept indoors all her life and never has to scratch for a living.
Chicken deplumation research has been carried out by concerned citizens trying to get to the root of the feather fall out. In the 19th century some experts used cannons charged with five ounces of powder, and stuffed a poor dead chicken into the cannon. The gun was fired upward and the feathers were noted to reach nearly 30 feet. Close examination revealed that the feathers were pulled cleanly from the chicken, the body of which was never found.
Further research has shown that the terrified chicken undergoes a complete relaxation of all her muscles, including the ones that hold the feathers in. Then the strong wind just blows the feathers out.
