Sonki, Looks like TXN involved with Cisco's new Voice/Video/Integrated Data initiative announcement too: techstocks.com The New World -- Network Availability, Open Systems and Lower Total Cost of Ownership Based on an Internet model, Cisco AVVID relies on a distributed architecture to ensure system availability and scalability. With the trend continuing toward distributed computing, customers are quickly realizing the benefit of having no single point of failure and are able to build as little or as much availability as they need into an integrated solution. ''As the Internet continues to change global business models, Texas Instruments made the strategic decision to be at the forefront IP telephony deployment because of the reduced operational costs and increased productivity that a converged network can deliver,'' said Pallab Chatterjee, CIO of Texas Instruments. ''What attracted us to Cisco AVVID was its distributed architecture and the scalability of the design which has enabled us to build an open and highly available integrated network today.'' Another key element of Cisco AVVID is its open and interoperable nature. This means that customers can choose the best-in-class solution in a number of different areas where previously, they were locked into proprietary applications from a single vendor. As a result, innovation is encouraged and overall networking costs will come down based on market demands and competition. Michael

Hello, Sonki! I've been away. Glad to see TXN, SUNW and my other companies have held up. Asia still very slow. I was in Singapore for a week. Prices lower than they were three or four years ago. Real estate prices in HK expected to drop 10% next year. Of course, Indonesia is a drag on everyone's economy. When they are not killing people in East Timor, their forest fires spread pollution all over Asia. Hope you are well! Have you found a new house? How do you spend your time these days? Best wishes, Mephisto
