TA re "You need powerful, telco-standards-based hardware ( not quirky software ) to handle the punishing volume of voice-video-data-, all digitized, that will flood the networks and airwaves. IMHO LU does not have that yet. Maybe one day. Telcos require 1-2 years of testing before buying anything.So during this time LU is vulnerable." Interesting since the hw in question here is outselling NN. Also, from what I hear, it was the WCOM engineers that screwed up the installation and have nothing to track what they did during the process that led to the issue. It is always easy to assign blame when the vendor is held at gunpoint. Keep holding that wonderfully performing NN. LU will be in the 80's this year and 100+ next year. Are you so sure that NN will finally perform as it has been promised to quarter after quarter after quarter ad infinitum ad nausium.. Brian

TA, >>>We have seen their software with WCOM, ( if that is a true represantaion, it was a disaster. They have no "in-house" development of ATMs and ended up buying Cascade Communications through Ascend. As networks become "globalized", powerful, carrier class ATMs will be vital.<<< I agree. Isn't it strange that the LU people invented ATM, yet they don't seem to push it over IP in the right places. At the present, ATM is still far better than VoIP and video over IP. It's gotta be hard to figure which way to jump in these high intensity technical times. But it's always better to get things working first with understandable technologies - ATM - then replace it with the trickier ones - VoIP - later IF they can be made to work better or more advantageously.
