Jeff, re: "Isn't it strange that the LU people invented ATM, yet they don't seem to push it over IP in the right places.", ATM over IP does not exist.
re: "We have seen their software with WCOM, ( if that is a true represantaion, it was a disaster)."
I mentioned earlier that the following could be the case (from a Network world article this afternoon)..
"Lucent says it accepts its share of responsibility for the problem, but appears to reject Ebbers' outright blaming of the vendor for the problem. A company spokeswoman has intimated that the technicians on hand to install the new software, which included both MCI WorldCom and Lucent personnel, might be at fault. "It was not a software problem, but a process problem," she says. She adds that the same version of the frame relay switch software has been successfully loaded into other carriers' networks, though she would not identify exactly which carriers. "
