Mr Fun - I always appreciate your posts because they cause me to think. You make some excellent points. I agree with you that LU is undervalued relative to NT and Cisco at this time. I disagree with you on some points.

1. BTW I didn't notice NT making ANY significant acquisitions between June98 and June99. NT announced the Bay acquisition in June of 98 and closed on 9/1/98. If memory serves me correct, NT acquired Cambrian during this period.

2. For my money, LU is way, way ahead of NT in actually integrating data in their product line.

I think the passage of time will prove you are wrong on this point. Open IP environment will be big. Versalar will be a huge success. Succession Platform will be more successful than LU product.

You omit to mention one point. Nortel's lead in optical gives it a lead in network managment.

You do not mention Nortel's entry in ASP where Lu has no presence.

Nortel has deployed call waiting to MSN. Where is the competing LU product?
