Heard that Fore is starting to do well in the WAN. Announced was their victory with Level 3. Also getting into UUNET, Sprint, AT&T. Appears their 40 gigabit switch is gaining popularity. Can you or any techies talk about Fore taking significant ASND business and compare products. Maybe Fore is a good buy for someone. I understand UUNet and Sprint use the ASX1000 or ASX4000 for their ATM core, but I can tell you first-hand that AT&T is solidly an Ascend account. UUNet also uses Ascend BSTDX9000 frame relay I believe. This has been the case for quite some time--nothing new. Nothing I have seen indicates Fore is taking away any of Ascend's business. NO WAY will AT&T have anything to do with Fore. Take the hint: AT&T is a HUGE Ascend customer for data. AT&T is also a HUGE Lucent customer for voice. Lucent wants to be AT&T's customer for data.... bucky89
