I understand that this company has disapointed you. Many companies have a difficult time finding their stride. New management is always key, ask any broker or financial consultant. Thanks to new management, this company has finally been able to begin a turn-around. No hype. Just facts. Can't blame the children for the sins of their fathers. Best to you, nick

James, I'm long.. and agree with the other post... FTEL is under new management. However, you said: <<Have you ever done a voice call over the internet? The quality is poor and variable and always will be. The internet is a variable bandwidth, packetized medium that will never lend itself well to voice communications. That's why a company called GTCC is offering service over a private switched network instead of over the net, check out their recent press release.>> Yes, I have used the FTEL equipment to make an IP call. It is superb. I've even called England from St. louis several times. Part of the call went over traditional lines, part went over the FNET network. Yes, it is not wise to go over the internet.. that is why FNET is trying not to route calls over the net. Anyway, this company is changing and growing.. watch what happens. Mitch

You every right to think this way. I dont fault you. I have a different opinion however. You stated this in your warning have you ever done a voice call over the internet? The quality is poor and variable and always will be. The internet is a variable bandwidth,packetized medium that will never lend itself well to voice communications. I have many times. Not only are they good to excellent quality every time but it is very easy to use. But hey I have copied your post to my hard drive and I will repost it when we hit 5, 10, 15 ect until it starts to level off and go down than your warnings will be usefull.ggg Sethy
