Gilbert, I haven't heard anything to this effect. If you look at what is listed as Lucent's Mass Storage offering this is what you find: lucent.com They support FC. I think that there might eventually be all optical switching in the LAN and eventually in the SAN, but I don't think that is realistically on anyone's horizon yet. You have to keep in mind the part of the network that Lucent is focused on and it is large fiber optic trunks carrying ATM, WDM, and SONET and to some extent LANS carrying ATM, FDDI, and GE. These are all specialized data transmission protocols for specific hardware. These protocols aren't useful for current storage devices (disks and tapes). George D.
