John, I don't remember if if we ever connected the dots to Cube on the PACE DSL box, do you?

Has CUBE ever taken credit for being the MPEG solution for the Pace DSL4000 set-top?
Even back in '99 Oracle liked this box:

OCT 14, 1999, M2 Communications - Pace Micro Technology is launching the next generation of digital set-top boxes (STB) that will enable telecommunications companies to deliver high quality video and interactive services over their existing copper wires.
The DSL4000 builds on the success of Pace's current product, the DSL3875, which was used as the reference design for the Oracle Video Server and has continued Place's record in achieving world firsts in DSL service rollouts. The DSL4000 will be faster and cheaper than its predecessors and is a preferred set-top box for the Oracle Video Server.

Mark Porter, vice-president of Oracle's Interactive Television Division commented on the developments: "Working with Pace has enabled us to develop the most advanced video server software for the interactive TV market. Combining Element 14's track record in DSL technology with Pace's reputation for low cost manufacturing and rapid delivery to market has resulted in the only consumer set-top box at a realistic price point for telcos looking to develop video services. The DSL4000 is exactly what our video on demand customers are looking for."
