JC, While visiting SI's LU thread last night, I noticed Mr. Fun's take on how well he thinks CSCO is doing with Cerent. Gregory Estes has pointed out to me that Cerent was WIND's first customer for Tornado for Managed Switches. Have you spotted confirmation of Mr. Fun's WIND-friendly assessment :) --alan Message 13527 650 > Cisco is selling the Cerent box in big volumes to the CLEC market. The Cerent > product is a new category, and isn't directly analogous to either LU or NT's > core optical products.
