Gus, >As it enters its 15th year of business, McData Corp. is completing its transition from a manufacturer of cluster controllers and channel gateways for IBM mainframes to a specialist in Fibre Channel switching. This sounds like the right thing to do, i.e., get away from strictly mainframe, ESCON connectivity products. I read most of your words on McData in your other posts about them. Bottom line, do you see them getting sales in the really hot fibre product areas, like Fibre Channel Fabric switches (Brocade's top product), or FCAL hubs or other fibre channel products that are not mainframe related? In other words, are they opening themselves up for sales in the faster growing server/SAN/network areas than their old mainframe connectivity products did for them? Thanks for your excellent posts here. Tony
