It appears to me that LU was ditching a part of the business that was acting as one of them there old perverbial anchors. If LU doesn't want AV, why should I? AV's products are essentially their voice products like the Definity PBX. These were once cash cows. They are losing money now. I see the trend continuing in this direction.

John, the products and business units as a whole were actually detracting from LU earnings. I am not sure how they could come close to those numbers unless they are taking some very large one time gains. tp
