Their stock is starting to pop from this news: LinkNet Gateway Named 'Product of the Year' by Leading Internet Telephony Trade Magazine FAIRFIELD, Conn., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Linkon Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: LKON - news) announced today that its LinkNet™ IP Telephony Gateway had been named a ''Product of the Year'' for 1998 by Internet Telephony magazine, the leading trade journal for the rapidly emerging IP Telephony industry. The award winning LinkNet Gateway was chosen in the UNIX gateway category for supporting four analog channels to multiple E1/Tl digital circuits. And for allowing phone-to-phone communications over satellite, SS7 network protocol-based applications, and prepaid calling cards. Executive Editor, Greg Galitzine, stated in the magazine's January, 1999 issue that ''the Internet Telephony Product of the Year awards were designed to draw attention to those vendors whose products have helped redefine a fledgling technological anomaly into an unimagined telecommunications (r)evolution. In fact, this can be looked upon as a list of those pioneers who had the vision and energy to move the industry from rudimentary PC-to-PC software phones to large scale carrier deployment of Internet telephony.'' ''This Product of the Year award is continuing evidence of the superiority of our Linkon architecture. We are proud of the fact that the largest telecommunications equipment providers in the world were eligible for this competition and we were chosen as one of the winners. This is a true reflection on the work of our engineering staff, our software development partners including Sun Microsystems, our system integrators and, most importantly, our customers, who actually bring enhanced services to consumers.'' Stated Lee W. Hill, President and CEO of Linkon. For more information about these and other Linkon products, visit Linkon's web site at linkon.com.

Professor and all: Merry Christmas. Dear Editor--- I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Dawg
