<<As the outlook assumptions get revised, I think you will see Ascend at a price of $12 with a P/E of 20.>>>

The price revisions for '98 have already occured. Most analysts have cut from $1.70 - $1.80 range to $1.20 ish. Ashby's already stated that they will hit estimates of $1.15 - $1.20. ASND @ $12 is a PE of 10!!!!

You are suggesting earnings of .60 per share next year. You have to admit, this is somewhat absurd when ASND has also stated 5-10% sequential quarterly revenue growth for the next two quarters and 10% growth the back half of the year.

It's far more likey that ASND will earn $1.50 in '98 with new contracts from MCI / UUNET, NTT, AT&T, Earthlink etc. etc.
