>>It like to see it buy Nortel (planning to really reorganize that company for growth) instead of splitting

Nortel, with a market cap of around 50B, would be quite a gulp. Do you really think csco needs their help to win the voip battle with lu? Csco seems to have done best when buying small, hotshot, leading edge companies; Nortel is none of these. I think the metabolic differences between Nortel and Cisco would make for an un-accretive union, just as cpq+dec has proven to be thus far.
