Yesterday, Jupiter Trading on Yahoo! posted a link to a DSL article, which I think is important to read. It is important that the threads realize just how well our brilliant MRVC engineers and designers have targeted multiple emerging explosive markets smack dead center. Not only do we have a potential RBAK killer in Red-C, but Voice-over-DSL is another one of those new explosive markets. As usual, I will spoon feed a few tidbits, so people want to read more. Oh, and Jupiter, your comment on Van Kasper caused me to also relook at the Van Kasper report. No mention of Voice capability in the "Redex" box. Our guys know how to play poker too! Unfortunately, I cannot copy out of the article, so here is a rekeyed paragraph: "And this year, quite suddenly DSL has become a method of transporting multiple voice lines on a single phone line. The voice-over-DSL market seems to be taking off so fast, in fact, that it may be a significant competitive force within the next six months. "A hundred years from now, when historians look back at this point, 1999 is when it began to happen", says Kevin Walsh, vice president of marketing at Accelerated Networks, a maker of integrated access devices combining voice and data in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) signal that traverses DSL access links. "We are seeing a lot of [competitive carriers] begin deployment phases as we speak." zdnet.com

A link to an article on testing high-performance routers, provided by Fulop on the Juniper board. Juniper was the only one that provided equipment for the testing by DataComm. techweb.com; << You'd think that some of the router vendors that have been begging Data Comm to cover their gear would at least show up for the test. Fact is, most simply didn't have equipment ready (and several said it would be sometime next year before their gear would be out the door). Among the no-shows: Argon Networks Inc. (Littleton, Mass.; now a division of Unisphere Solutions Inc. [Burlington, Mass.]); Avici Systems Inc. (Chelmsford, Mass.); Nbase-Xyplex (Littleton, Mass.); Neo Networks Inc. (Minnetonka, Minn.); Pluris Inc. (Palo Alto, Calif.); Torrent Networking Technologies Corp. (Silver Spring, Md.; now a division of Ericsson AB [Stockholm, Sweden]); and Xylan Corp. (Calabasas, Calif.; now a division of Alcatel N.V. [Paris]). Netcore Systems Inc. (Wilmington, Mass.; now a division of Tellabs Inc. [Lisle, Ill.]) has a product, but it uses ATM and not POS interfaces. Clearly, it's still early in the evolution of next-generation routing. >> BP
