Susan, The persistent me can't let it go... I have no position in it... but it aroused my curiosity... here: viwes.com That's the most current I can find... I'm wondering why a stock that's splitting Apr 12, with only 5.1 mil float, 58.48 (per Zacks) percent of which is owned by institutions, can have a short position of 1.7 mil... I smell opportunity but I can't get a good read on what's going on... if you have any ideas, please let me know. NSOL was an easy read... this one kills me... BTW watch NXTL - 16 mil shorts on that one... if it has a significant runup tomorrow early... the shorts will undoubtedly cover and fuel the buying... Thanks, SF

Susan, look at COVD, this DSL provider is growing by leaps & bounds. (AT & T and QWST both own a stake in COVD). News today: Covad unveils nationwide DSL service By Corey Grice Staff Writer, CNET News.com March 29, 1999, 4:00 a.m. PT Covad Communications will announce a nationwide remote access plan today, integrating for the first time the company's digital subscriber line service with the networks of recent investors AT&T and Qwest Communications International. Covad, an aspiring high-speed communications carrier, is targeting its new TeleSpeed Remote service at small- to midsized businesses that want to connect remote offices in other cities, a first for the company. Company executives said their new offering will allow businesses to save money by avoiding long-distance dial-up charges for using a modem to remotely access files. Other higher-speed options, ISDN or frame relay service, are typically too expensive for smaller businesses.
