Dell OEM or aquire MRVC? Is the Nbase here ours? Looks like it, but appears unlikely....exciting possibility though.

Dell Extends Battle with Compaq to Israel: Will Examine 5 Israeli
Computer Companies' Technologies Tomorrow
By Ronny Lifschitz
Dell, the world's largest computer company, will spend tomorrow
reviewing the technologies of five Israeli high-tech companies, to
examine the possibility of purchasing their products and
introducing them into its international marketing network. The
companies it will look at are: Gilat, Phasecom, Wave Access,
Orckit, and Nogatech.
Other companies Dell is looking at, but which will not take part in
tomorrow's meeting, include: Fortress, Nbase, Silicom, and
BATM.
Each company will be allocated 90 minutes in which to present its
products and technology. Afterwards, if Dell's representatives are
interested, there will be further meetings the same day.
The US company is particularly looking for computer
communications technologies, among other things in order to find
a response to its largest competitor, Compaq, which has acquired
computer communications companies in recent years, and a
month ago announced the acquisition of Digital.
Dell intends to sign OEM agreements with the Israeli companies
it selects, in order to market their products under the Dell brand
name.
At the end of last year, Dell appointed ASCO, owned by Asa
Yanai and located in New York, as its representative for finding
Israeli technologies.
