You seem to be very knowledgeable about the markets in which Ascend
competes. Could you favor me with further explanation of a couple
of comments you made in response to Gerard's statement:
"1. Stratacom is getting beat by cascade. They need to bury that
mistake."

First point of clarification -
You state "Ascend/CSCC has never really done anything in switching
outside of domestic RBOC's... No IXC's, very little (if any)
international presence and ZERO in enterprise."

I thought they recently (6 mos. ago?) signed a huge deal with
China's telephone co. (Shanghai Tel ?). Was this not for switching
equipment? I forget the size of the deal, but for some reason
200-300 million comes to mind.

Second,
You state "I think your comment is very VERY weak.... more
than that it's WRONG. The numbers demonstrate this clearly."

You must have some pretty compelling numbers to show that
Stratacom is NOT getting beat by Ascend. Could you please
repost them or tell me where I can see these numbers. You
may have already done so, and I just missed them, so I
apologize if this is repetitive.

Thanks in advance, Matt
