Bindusagar and the thread, can you say bidding war for ASND -- the remaining "crown jewel" of the networkers? The SJ Mercury article states that 5 companies other than NT were negotiating to buy BAY. I would very much like to discuss the identities of the prospective suitors of BAY, their reasons, and then their strategic fit with ASND. My list? I've left out CSCO and COMS as possibilities -- is this wrong?

NT
LU (obviously looking. Would they be interested in BAY?)
ERICY (publicly stated that it's looking)
ALA (CSCO partner)
IBM
INTC
Siemens (COMS/NN partnership)
Nokia
CPQ (too much CS linkage)
