Hi Ray, Here are some references to the Nortel Connection.

From Amati's 10-K Dated Oct 23/96

The Company has developed the DMT technology primarily for ADSL applications. In 1992, a prototype system was developed with funding from Northern Telecom to participate in the competition for the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI") standard for the ADSL transmission specification.

and

The Company's first ADSL product was called Prelude. Prelude was
completed in 1992 and utilized in the various competitions for the ANSI standard, which was awarded to the Company's DMT technology. This prototype was developed by engineers with funding by Northern Telecom to prove that a 6 Mbps data rate was possible over copper wire and to participate in the ANSI standards competition.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

The Company has a policy of seeking patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and improvements as part of its on-going research and development activities. Its patents are classified as follows:

- Group I--Consists of 3 patent applications and 1 patent (shared with Northern Telecom), consisting of technology necessary to conform to the ANSI standard for ADSL. The Company has informally agreed with the ANSI standards body to license these patents to third parties on fair and equitable terms.

- Group II--Consists of 2 patents issued to Stanford University in 1993 and 1994 and 1 patent application filed by Stanford University, all of which have been exclusively licensed to the Company, and 1 patent application filed by the Company in 1995. The technology described in these patents is not necessary to conform to the ANSI standard for ADSL; however, such technology makes ADSL transceivers more efficient.

- Group III--Consists of 1 patent owned by the Company and 5 patent applications filed by the Company, all of which relate more generally to the Company's DMT technology.

I am still looking for the share exhange reference.
