I did a study and I figure they were selling CPE at 2% gross margin 6 months ago, 11% in their "huge CPE quarter", and back down to around 1% in this most recent Q.

You make money in ADSL with Volume. Getting down to 33mil in CPE is going to kill the margins. Why do you think Westell had 11% margins in 2Q when they had 62mil in CPE sales? Volume

I disagree with your picture for next quarter. Since they have a CPE inventory issue with little volume, margins and EPS will suffer. Come 4th quarter when they produce 60-70mil in CPE business, we will see the margins and EPS increase.
