FORE is not a small company, it is half-billion dollar company. Not as big as Ascend, but not small. That is FUD that Cisco and Ascend like to spread. FORE has been the leader in ATM since before Ascend knew how to spell it. FORE has been consistently at the forefront (no pun intended) of new ATM feature development. The ASX-4000 is not a "lesser switch", it is leading the way. Check out "FORE delivers monster ATM switch": Hi Dennis D, Thanks for this info. Didn't mean to write off FORE. I know they are a strong player in ATM, and are the vendor of choice for ATM in the LAN. One possible weakness I see for them is that they don't seem to have a lot of experience with IP. Although they bought a ethernet company, the rest of their products I believe are ATM-centric. But the rest of the world is IP, and that could be a handicap when integrating features to support IP into their products. bucky89
