Greg, Re -- I still have an hard time believing it (Cisco's 40 patents). Chambers is a SALESMAN, whose idea of R&D is if you spend $X you can get what you want. And despite what the IDIOT engineers from Cisco on this thread say about RFC's, RFC's are just bunches of paper without implementations. Cisco has no chance of filing a counter suit against LU. If LU were to look more closely, they'd probably find a whole bunch of patents that Cisco has violated. Like I said, Cisco had better settle. They may win 1 or 2 patents but 8, not a chance. Also Cisco will have to begin re-implementing the infringements (if they can). Maybe they'll HIRE another 2000 or so engineers to work on maintaining and porting their bloated IOS. Stockman
