There's been a lot of speculation about potential modem sales.

These sales of single-chip modems, wether they be for notebooks or PC motherboards, could indeed boost earnings. And in the short term, this could boost the stock price.

But frankly, I could care less. It's not the current earnings, but rather the potentially huge future earnings which attract me to Data Race. Data Race has correctly identified a very lucrative and very large market. And this market, telecommuting, will explode in coming years for one very simple reason: it saves companies money.

So it seems Data Race is in the right place, at the right time, with the right product. Clearly, Data Race a concept stock, in the same veign as Iomega or Netscape. But currently RACE is valued as a PC modem maker (and even then it's undervalued) -- This is an incredible opportunity for small investors. Furthermore, the value of Data Race's solution is in software and integration, not simply the hardware components. Therefore, we should expect margins to be much higher than in the modem business. For these reasons, RACE is incredibly undervalued.

OK, you say, "I agree that telecommuting is a very exciting market, but why should I invest in Data Race?"

** They have a lead over their competitors.

** They are working closely with large customers to develop the solutions corporations need.

** They have the modem experience AND the multiplexor/LAN experience to develop a quality product.

** Their stock is undervalued.

** Their market cap is small.

This one's a no-brainer.

John, how about this too:

What have we all been playing around with the 28.8/ISDN/xDSL thing?

If you make a DSP chip-based modem its the software that controls the characteristics of the thing. A mere change of which program you feed it would allow it to operate on most any type service !!!!

Since its obvious that the remote part of this system would be facing many different types of lines why not make it "adaptable" to any one of them? Makes a pretty slick modem just by itself too!

Now, if I recall, Data Race has a great deal of communications software experience.....

Good point.

Many DSP manufacturers are freely distributing the code for 28.8, ISDN, etc on their support sites, so it's not even a question software experience.

OK, here's where that comes in:

Add a little proprietary multiplexing code as well as some state-of-the-art compression routines.

Now what have you got? A multi line-rate, multiplexed voice/fax/data and probably video capable device you could stuff into a PCMCIA card if you wanted to.

Marshall,

I could use a little help in decoding the table. It looks
like there is some institutional and insider movement which
has been discussed here before. What is the 5% owners line?
By the way, I got your email. Sorry I have not responded.
It has been a busy weekend (family reunion). I will respond
tonight.

John

I'm not exactly sure what it means either, but it is interesting to note
that we seem to have a N/A on the 5% as to whether they are buying. We
know about the insiders but I was hoping for more detail on the 5%
(or better) owners and what they've been doing lately. Somewhere all the
people that own 5% or more of a company is listed by SEC regulations but
so far I haven't been able to locate this info.

Well Tom, I guess those last little bits of this-n-that must have
set a few more to thinking, going by our price activity during this
silly "panic on the NASDAQ" day.

Say, did you see that a reference was made in one of the PRST threads
that buying RACE just may be a way to get your lost gains back?
In my opinion "good old value" is usually preferable to hype, especially
in a market that's been behaving the way it has lately. Hard to beat
a company with solid book value and the innovator in one of the fastest
growing markets out there!

I found a great little unbiased story last night about the coming explosion
of the corporate notebook/desktop market. It made some very good
points. I'll put it in later tonight.

Say John, did you watch the trade activity yesterday? It appears that the majority of the 109,700 trades were all buys at 6 !! Virtually all trades on the uptick since it didn't seem to move all day.

Mean anything to anyone ? !!

I wonder what it would have done if Tuesday hadn't been down 25 NASDAQ ?

BTW, to all, Netcom has been having problems nationwide so a good portion of the net is having problems. Unfortunately it is also affecting SI since this server is on a Netcom T1 line.

Forgot to add: (not RACE related) I put that press release in the TELV thread, now I'm just anxious to see what kind of marketing they are planning or is it going to end up as IBM or bundling?

(TELV came out with some low priced video and 3D audio boards)

Anything that uses S3 chips is OK by me.
