George! What happened! Did Mizzou enter your body? Look; Clay posted a comment about an outage at T and suggested it could be related to CSCO ATM equipment. Last understanding I had was that the ATM network at T was ASND's and that the frame relay network was CSCO's. (All this notwithstanding that it's since been reported to be localized and affect the voice network too...which would pretty much rule out either Cisco or LU/ASND equipment. Ssssssooo, and finally, no I don't remember the particulars about any of the outages. I remember the T frame relay outage about a year and half or so ago and a recent one...but I can't remember if it was T or WCOM. I do know that LU/ASND equipment was involved ... it was something flaky and it was creating intermittent outages...difficult to nail down and it went on for about a week. Briand probably remembers. Anyway, I wassn't spinning anything I was attempting to just move the discussion along since Clay was reporting a unsubstantiated outage and making assumptions about a Cisco failure when no outage was reported yet and no one knew what network. Sorry again. OG

George, It isn't a secret to anybody on the Lucent thread that Gary works for Cisco. The fact that he spends as much time on our thread tells me that, Yes, he probably does own Lucent also and that Cisco does know that they will not have as easy of a time dominating this industry like they did the Enterprise Data market. I hear people talk about margins and how Cisco has a higher P/E ratio. Well, if you were able to use the pooling of interest rules to write off your R&D instead of having the premier research and development laboratory, Bell Labs, your costs would appear to be lower also. As more an more stories come out about how companies like Sprint come to terms with the Silicon Valley 'Spin Doctors' and their latest and greatest hits titled 'Vaporware!' Lucent and the legitimate telecom equipment vendors will get their recognition. Has anybody actually seen a GSR 12000? I know I have been hearing about its supposed existence longer than the Loch Ness Monster! Cheers, Steve
