Well people!!!have we not come of age in more then one respect.We bash and we clash and we listen to value less crap all over the the thread. Yet have we seen something happen in just the last 6 months that shows a complete change of focus for the company,If you answer yes then your a good investor,If you say no then your not a informed and or Long term investor in technology.Thsi companies buy of the Bosnia network may have seemed small,it was.Today just a short 6 months later,How much has it grown? How much has the rest of the network grown,Al believes by at least 8 JV's probably so.Maybe more. JM Best is still buying acording to their schld I believe.And a new company is putting in a 6 figure deal thats shipping now, I'd say we would do about 1.2 million this qtr,What say yea Al. Maybe so maybe a bit less.Either way,as i said before when fnet started showing that they would and could produce recurring revenue with a growth rate exceeding 20% I felt that the time had come. We shyould see revenues of 500k/qtr profit in under a year once all the JV's get signed up.The hardest ones are yet to come and they will be the biggest margins. I do not feel that I have to explain why we are down or why I have held or why I am buying more,I will just say that from this point on every dollar they make if the stock goes up 10 cents I can retire in a short time.Buy now and hold or quite your crying,most of you fair weather babies that know nothing about the technology or the market capitalist.

P.F. -- I agree with most of what you say. A couple of years ago I posted 'against the grain' of the 'Dirty Dozen' - complaining mostly about the 'buy-and-hold-forever' policy they posted over and over on this board. I saw FTEL then as a trading stock with really good long-term potential, and still do. I was BLASTED and BLASTED and BLASTED by Doug Best (Mr. Nasty, who I feel is less than a worm), Vic Klimpl (who if he took lessons might be able to learn to become a worm), Raleigh Baumann (I'm not sure what to make of him - but a phenomenal Pied Piper type of salesman he most certainly is), and even Temp (whose postings I have otherwise appreciated no end). I was the ONLY SHAREHOLDER on the board disagreeing with these people!!! I really really understand where you're coming from. . BUT - that was then and this is now. You've still got foul-mouthed A##HOLE Bulls who still don't have a clue, and still have a hard time making out who the bad guys are, but the company we are talking about has evolved. . The stockprice has gone to hell AND it will probably go lower, but the company is doing OK. When they get the SUTRO money, they double the number of Foreign DVG sites almost immediately, and double that again by the end of the quarter (my WAGS). THEN they won't be just doing OK, they will be doing GREAT!! Don't give them up for dead. That would be REALLLLY BAD timing! Cheers

so, let me get this straight. while u and others hint to the honesty/integrity of the posters long gone due to suspensions or otherwise, that is OK. but if i call u or others a whiner, thats bad. and if i call JHP, who is an obvious loser with nothing but time on his hands, a loser after he repeatedly harasses and bashes the investors here, thats bad? i would say to u, open your eyes. as far as my prediction, maybe i should have said in the next month "or so" . the bottom line is....i am expecting significant progress in terms of hardware and FNET revenue this quarter. i am expecting sequential increases from the last quarter. i wouldnt be surprised if we see some fairly significant hardware sales and some other possible "X" factors. i feel that the stock is down to its current level primarily due to the financing arrangement. without the financing arrangement, i think we would have held $2 range easily. the conversion of the preferred shares is still an issue. until all of the shares are converted, we may see an "artificial" lid on this stock at about $1.15. the holders of the preferred shares will want to convert to get the maximum amount of common stock. until they have converted every last share, i do not feel that we will move much above the $1.15 level. HOWEVER if we have significant news, we may force the prefferred shareholders hands to convert because the demand for the stock will outstrip their ability to control it. bottom line, business right now for Franklin is the very good. Buswell is the savior and is doing a fantastic job in righting the ship. the stock may not take off real soon, but I am confident that it will be no less than double where it currently is at within the next 2 months.
