<< If LU buys up the technology but can not integrate it or keep the key people that know the software/hardware then the future will not be as bright.>>

Chambers has criticized many Lucent acquisitions. Now we may see why. MCI WorldCom placed the blame on equipment from Cascade. They said that Lucent did not
seem to have technical people around who understood the technology. This is a serious indictment. MCI WorldCom is sure to lose some business, but the real loser is
LUCENT relative to CISCO. When Cisco's Stratacom went down last year it was up in 24 hours, and that was considered bad. 10 days is in a different league all together
and they still don't really know why. Also may be greater appreciation for newer technologies like ATM and vendors like NN.

Lucent has become an unknown and dangerous quantity with respect to IP. Back to circuit switches for them.
