how much? The Lucent product seems to be business oriented. Lots of things you can buy for it, like $300 metal boxes. Unless I misunderstood what I read at the wavelan.com and the various price checking sites the Lucent system will set you back close to $1000.

Well, it's certainly turning into an intersting race....Csco versus NT.......leaving LU in the dust at least as far as share price is concerned. As much as I think there are some big risks built into CSCO, you can't help but be amazed at their run although I still think 2000 will be a critical year for CSCO in terms of whether they can continue to grow at the pace that is BUILT into their share price considering their size and write-offs resulting from their investment efforts to crack the Carrier market which will no longer be Pooled but written off as Goodwill.
