I read somewhere that CORV and SYCM were both working on an optical card to slot into a PC like an ethernet card, with projected capacity up to 100 Mbps. Can you remember where you read that? TIA

David, I read somewhere that CORV and SYCM were both working on an optical card to slot into a PC like an ethernet card, with projected capacity up to 100 Mbps. I seriously doubt that either of these companies would be interested in even spending time in a meeting discussing such a product. Corvis is focused on backbone optical switching fabrics and systems while SYCM is building optical switching and provisioning systems for carriers. These companies already have too much on their plates in a highly competitive space. I think that if either of these companies are focused on such a "consumer oriented" product they will lose their core battle. Rather, such a product/device would be an excellent target for XIRC/INTL in conjunction with a networking company - or even for COMS..... OG
