<<I am referring to Alcatel's own chip which I understand has power problems, among others. I heard this first-hand from Head of Operations/NEC/Australia. This confirmed what JS had said at the annual meeting when he said Alcatel needed Amati's engineers to help with their chip. He was not any more specific than that. As for Mietec, is their chip in use now? If so, what is the response?>>

First off, the Meitec chipset is the ALA chipset. Your statement reads as it they're two different chipsets.

Second, If AMTX helped ALA then its safe to assume that ALA's chips are OK now since AMTX has the best ADSL engineers in the world. Too bad ALA hasn't reciprocated by signing a licensing agreement in a timely manner.

Third, give CSCO some credit for doing due diligence and researching the quality of ALA's chipsets before partnering. CSCO wouldn't foist "no good" technology on their customers. Chambers is smarter than that.

I'm not saying that Mietec's chips are or ever will be better than CG or the C6X by all metrics, but they seem to be good enough that CSCO is comfortable putting the CSCO name on products that use 'em.
