also from today's WSJ.com (Briefing Books) is a press release from ASND that they're now offering new Firewall Technology for much lower cost remote network security, making enterprise-wide security economically viable. This must have come via Morningstar, the software outfit acquired only last March. In 2 months they've been able to integrate this technology into their various Pipeline and MAX product lines - and at very low cost. Of importance to current users the software is completely backwards compatible, with no hardware upgrades. This alone represents tremendous value for corporations who already invested in ASND's hardware. And these improvements aren't necessarily Internet-oriented but rather corporate WANs. Rather then charge per user they're charging a single price, as low as $500 for certain Pipeline products, and no more than $4,000 for the largest MAX products. This is smart marketing on top of very fast implementation of the acquired technology. As I've said these guys are nimble on their feet and very, very smart when picking desirable acquisitions. Their flexibility and quickness to respond to opportunities makes them among the very best overall. Dee Jay
