ACtually we are setting up a nationwide network to do this ourselves. We are in the startup stage now and should be going live in a month or two (Hard to really tell - these things constantly get pushed back) - and this looks like it could be a real cash cow... NH

NYBellBoy, Great definition. I'll throw in a couple of observations. The corporate buzzword for several years now has been 'outsourcing'. This thing can be done cheaper and more efficiently out of house by specialists like FNTN who do not have to reinvent the wheel for each installation. It will bring the power of an intranet to the masses. You already know this, but I'll pass it along to others. My company has had an intranet for about two years now. It is used extensively for sharing confidential data of all types worldwide. It is an invaluable tool and is completely secure from prying eyes. Most large companies already have something similar. The intranet designers who will prosper will get video and voice right. The few samples of video from FNTN (on their site) are as good as any I've seen. Keep in mind that these represent the lowest common denominators. Intranet video, as opposed to internet video, will be much more efficient due to high transfer rates. One final thought. I am personally not happy that audited financials have been put off for so long. Given that the company has seven employees (NYBB, is this still an accurate count?), I suppose that the choice comes down to doing the technical business vs. the financial side. Not too much longer, I hope. Mike
