Networkers up after Cisco beats estimates

NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems Inc led a rally in computer networking shares after
the company's fiscal first quarter earnings beat Wall Street estimates.

Late Tuesday, the San Jose, Calif.-based company said it earned $0.59 a share in the quarter,
excluding one-time items, against $0.47 a year ago. Analysts expected Cisco to earn $0.52 a share
on an operating basis, according to First Call.

Shares in Cisco climbed 1-11/16 to 85-1/8 and were Nasdaq's most active in early trading on
Wednesday.

Fellow networkers Ascend Communications Inc (ASND), 3Com Corp (COMS) and Bay
Networks Inc (BAY) also gained ground.

Traders said Cisco's results appeared to allay some fears for the group that arose after Newbridge
Networks Corp (NNC.TO) warned of weak second quarter results.

However, Cisco's powerful industry position left some reluctant to draw broad conclusions from its
results.

''This may just be a case of Cisco again flexing its muscle and showing its dominance,'' one trader
said.

Ascend shares gained 7/16 to 25-3/4 and 3Com gained 1-1/8 to 44-3/4. Bay Networks rose 5/16
to 35 and Newbridge Networks' NYSE-listed shares (NN) rose 13/16 to 49.
