Nice article on CS in Red Herring today: <snip> Despite the improved prospects for Cabletron, analysts are unanimous in what will ultimately befall the data networker -- death by acquisition. "Oh, definitely, Cabletron will be bought out," says Mr. Suppiger. "The question is when." Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY) have been cited regularly as prospective buyers, since they're two of the last global wireless companies without data networking divisions. Even Mr. Patel said this summer that he'll consider an offer when the right one comes along. With the brightening long-term outlook, though, he may hold out for a while. "I don't see any imminent transaction right now," concluded Mr. Becklean. "But while Cabletron is building itself back up, at the same time it's also improving its currency as an acquisition candidate." <
