CLN: Emailed News. . . .Coleman's Surplus Online Store is Open! Whew!, Well, it took a lot longer than we had hoped, but at long last, our brand new on-line Military and Commercial Surplus Superstore is finally here! We've posted over 1,000 items for you to view in logical categories and subcategories. Our entire online database is searchable by item name, sku number, or keyword to make it easy for you to find what you're looking for. You may register as a shopper and begin adding items to your shopping cart, and whether or not you go the check-out counter today, we'll keep your shopping list on file so that next time you visit the store, the items you chose will still be in your shopping basket! Ours is one of the first sites to have a dynamic link to UPS, so your order gets "weighed" and "measured" at checkout so you only pay shipping based on real UPS costs, not some inflated, arbitrary shipping/handling charge like most sites do. All this is done in a totally secure environment, so all of your sensitive information is sent to us encrypted and out of view from any prying eyes! I want to personally thank you for requesting information about our products, and invite you to visit our store! There's a ton of interesting things to see, even if you're not buying! We don't mind window shoppers! You'll even see me (the webguy) making my modeling debut- if you know where to look! So, click the link at the bottom of the page, open the URL,?? and hey, have fun!! colcat.com Oh, by the way, I have to tell you this part, it's kind of a rule: I got your e-mail address because you either requested information about our company's products, or maybe you tried to sell us something! In any event, it seems that you're probably the kind of individual who would be interested in seeing our online catalog. If I'm wrong, forgive me, and just click that little "reply" button at the top of your screen and type "remove" in the subject line. If you do, I promise I won't send you any more mail! Thanks for your ear! John M. Henninger, Webguy Coleman's surplus colemans@epix.net colemans.com 1-888-4-surplus

Rande IS.... I'm not the best one to make a presentation, but I can supply you with links to FCM and FNet websites, plus a few highlights. ftel.com fnet.net FCM's sales for 3rd qtr ending 3/31 were $4,270,000 of which FNet brought in just over $500,000. This represents a combined increase of 1214% over same qtr previous year, and a 244% increase over qtr ending 12/31/98. Net income was $382,000 or .02 per share. Interestingly the net income was more than total revs for qtr 3/31/98. Well informed shareholders attribute these dramatic results to the appointment of Peter Buswell as COO in July 1998, as well as the demonstrated quality of their flagship product, the Tempest data voice gateway. Last month Buswell also assumed operating control of FNet, which is FCM's wholly owned next-generation telco(not to be confused w/symbol FNET which is a publicly traded but unrelated co.). It was always the plan to IPO FNet, however it is my opinion only that they should wait a bit while Buswell applies his skills to that company. As of now, each share of FCM purchased brings with it approx. 70% equity in FNet as well. Without speculating, the 4th qtr is on track to surpass qtr 3. I didn't mean to get this wordy, and if you check my profile you will see that I have never crossed threads to promote this company. I am also long and own a lot of FCM and FNet private placement shares. No one can dd as well as the individual for him/her self! Regards, Ron
