LU was/is prevented from purchasing companies via stock swaps (i.e. pooling of interests) for a period of time.

Bill,
I believe you're asking the question because of the rumor that was out late today mentioning LU as a potential buyer of Ascend. I wonder why LU would turn and close up for the day if there is truth to the rumor. Although, it is well known that LU wants to become a major networker and that might fit well with their goal to become more diversified and compete with Cisco. Any comments?

Ted
