FTEL Frank Peters (Chairmans message on web site) clears up a few loose ends relative to the USAT relationship. Feb. 1, 1999 I have had investors calling wanting information about one of our customers. Here is what we know and have permission to say: 1. USAT has been a customer since first FQ last year. Our FY starts July 1. 2. We have shipped many systems to them and have installed and continue to build and manage a substantial network for them. 3. This network, as is the case with many of FTEL equipment users, is connected to FNet. 4. They pay their bills on time in cash, often, in advance. 5. We have not ever been paid in stock or anything but cash. (Cash means checks, all of which have cleared without problems in U.S. dollars). 6. We also have other large customers who consider their business proprietary and we respect their privacy. As we continue shipments of the Tempest, I can tell you to look forward to new product announcements, March 2, at the CTI show in Los Angeles, which will excite you and confound the competition.

------ Pseudo IPO of JBOH today ------ Why do I call it a "Pseudo IPO"? Average daily volume before today showed this stock was getting very little notice. Today changed all that. Now people know it's there. It's on the most active lists. Buying an online broker for $5 a share????? Here's the last one. AMTD up to $105 EGRP up to $128 pre-split They've all left the stables! ...all but that little unknown JB Oxford. Sure everyone knows JB Oxford the trading firm. They advertise on CNBC. Who knew they were a publicly traded company? Not to many it appears... ...until today. JBOH's time has come. I'm looking for $40 by the end of the month. Far out prediction you say? I'm sure you would have said the same about EGRP, AMTD, etc. All of this is my opinion only. Make your own trading decisions.

AOL to buy MovieFone in $388 million stock deal Message 7598368 By David Brinkerhoff NEW YORK, Feb 1 (Reuters) - In the latest in a series of online deals, America Online Inc. (NYSE:AOL - news)(AOL) on Monday said it will acquire MovieFone Inc. (Nasdaq:MOFN - news), a dial-up movie ticket reservation service, in a stock deal worth about $388 million. AOL will purchase all outstanding shares of MovieFone, which sells movie tickets and lists local film showings over the telephone. The company also offers tickets over the Internet. The New York and Los Angeles-based firm is currently losing money and is unlikely to boost AOL revenues, analysts said. But they said the online giant bought MovieFone to gain a foothold in the ticket selling business, part of its ''Everywhere strategy'' to expand outside traditional online territories. ''This is a nice, modest acquisition,'' said Abhishek Gami, analyst with William Blair, a Chicago-based brokerage firm. ''It doesn't change the landscape in any particular way...it's a platform on which (AOL) can sell other products or services.'' Under the deal, MovieFone shareholders would receive AOL stock worth $29.25 per share. The exact fraction has not been worked out, but it will range between 0.1670 and 0.2259 of an AOL share. MovieFone has lost $891,000 through the first three quarters of 1998 amid revenues of about $7.8 million, small compared to AOL's sales of nearly $1 billion in sales in the fourth quarter alone. What AOL sees, however, is the 100 million phone calls or website hits on MovieFone last year, a goldmine for advertisers. ''MovieFone will add an exciting new area of local e-commerce to AOL and our other brands,'' Bob Pittman, AOL's President and Chief Operating Officer, said in a statement. The move also parallels actions taken by MovieFone rival Ticketmaster Online, which in August merged with CitySearch to form Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch Inc. (Nasdaq:TMCS - news) and then went public amid high demand in the third quarter, That deal combined the ticket sales service of Ticketmaster with CitySearch, which provides local city guides on the Internet. Under AOL'S deal, MovieFone will operate under the name AOL MovieFone and become a key component of the company's online service Digital City, AOL said in a statement. Like CitySearch, Digital City local information such a weather reports and entertainment schedules. For MovieFone, the deal means fresh funding, 15 million subscribers, and use of AOL's much larger telecommunications network, analysts said. ''MovieFone...can more cost-effectively run its services,'' Gami said. Analysts said they did not expect any layoffs at MovieFone as a result of the acquisition. AOL said it expected the transaction to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. MovieFone's board of directors recommended that shareholders vote to go approve the acquisition, and that the company's controlling stockholders have already agreed to vote in favor of the deal, AOL said in its statement. AOL shares ended $4.50 lower at $171.19 in New York Stock Exchange trading, while MovieFone was up $1.50 at $26.50 on the Nasdaq.

TM, check out NMR. 12 week base 15-17, broke out today on stronger than expected earnings. Opened at 19 and closed at 20 3/8, not your typical sell-off after good earnings. Chart looks great, and company is moving into Internet site ratings and other network metering. The stock is just at that stage where it seems to be generating a little buzz.
