| anyone have any experience with Best Direct online brokers?

Yes have been trading with them for 3 months now very good service.

| do you like their interface?

The new interface version 5.06 is killer and works well.

| have you ever been in limbo -- had their system go down and not know if
| you were filled?

Yes of course this can and does happen. You just pick up the phone and call your broker or the trade desk to straighten things out.

| how long does it take to get filled on average  -- best and worst?

In the s&p they use direct to the arb desk bypassing TOPS and CUBS and then the orders are sent in with a headset to the broker. Fills are on the order of 5 - 15 seconds.

| any other input would be appreciated.

Right now the don't have direct link for e-mini's that is coming  around 7/24/99 so they say. The mini orders go to the trade desk and are entered in the globex terminal.

I highly recommend them... give my broker a call Jason 1-800-759-0062.or check out there website www.pfgbest.com
