Joe, Although I no longer am in FTEL, I watch it closely and hope to get back into it-- *for a reason*. And although it's nice to seem them make a sale, prudent investors should ask the company a couple of questions. Like: Why cash upfront? Purchaser Not credit worthy? Huge concessions in pricing granted in return for bookable sales or needed infusion of operating funds? HOW MANY UNITS WERE ORDERED? A dozen or fifty? Nice to see the order, but it's going to take a few more disclosures by FTEL to make me an investor again. However, here's hoping for the begining of a rally for all the folks that have suffered through.... Season's Greetings, Lew

I was thinking it might be Intrine as well. On second thought though - with payment in advance don't see why they would feel they needed to hide the name. $$$ is $$$ when it's in the bank. I would guess the customer asked not to be identified? Maybe this our mysterious 2nd big buyer after JM Best (but hope it's a 3rd!). Also - this reads like some kind of expanded installation contract rather than a normal sale and installation.
