Do you think Fore's ASX-4000 ATM switch competes with any of Ascend's product? Don't know much about it except for the press release. Like I said before, FORE doesn't have a background in IP, and so they may have difficulty in value-added features such as MPLS. I see no mention of IP in the press release. I would guess it doesn't have the "smart" capabilities that Ascend's switches have of doing IP routing. Other than that, it looks like a direct competitor for the GX550. The only difference is the Fore switch won't ship till this summer, and the GX550 is shipping now. bucky89
