An ASND/CSCC/COMS/USRX combo . . . would create an end-to-end networking powerhouse only 40% the size of CSCO, but with 80% of CSCO's annual revenue. Style, Amen. Also, buying ASND now might possibly be an inexpensive way to buy COMS (you would save about $14/share assuming a 1:1 conversion ratio and further assuming, of course, a merger). Gary Korn

<ASND/CSCC/COMS/USRX combo makes me drool in dreamy bliss! That would create an end-to-end networking powerhouse only 40% the size of CSCO, but with 80% of CSCO's annual revenue. Can you imagine? I'm not going to get my hopes up, but that would definately be the best case scenario.> 40% of what in comparison; employees-shares or #of bldgs?? solutions are not results of mergers but of proper executions.
