FORE....Well, A brief review of the FORE 4000 line reveals a 40GB non-blocking switch with a lot of fancy port cards, and backwards compatibility to the nand gate. Cisco has the 8800 with is the same thing only 45GB non-blocking, and ASND has the GX 550 which is a 25GB non-blocking switch. Nortel has the Centillion 1600 a 10GB switch...(my company has sold and installed these) Now, it takes 6 of ASND's switches to do what one of the FORE or CSCO switches will do, because of the way ATM switches work.... so, LU did not purchase ASND only for the ATM expertise.... FORE's is clearly better. I don't know what Siemen's or Nokia have - or if they are possible suiters. But Nortel sure could use what FORE has. OK, I'm in. jc
