Hello John: First question answered in my previous post. Second question: Intel is working to remove the bottleneck in the motherboard to allow faster data transaction between the processor and the external network. They talked about having a dedicated network chip on the mother board to unload the main processor task. This will open up the path for GE deployment. See this news regarding the Strong Arm chip from DEC: headlines.yahoo.com This is the low end of the network processor.

I would like to see the management of the company release a statement with their plans & or solutions to the problems brought up by the GE alliance. I for one feel that they owe their shareholders, customers, and employees (sales employees especially) an explaination of their strategy if indeed they have one to overcome this potential GE distance problem. MRV has "banked" on the GE technology and if there are limitations I'm sure they're aware of them. It's time to reveal some of what they've learned from all those R&D expenditures. Ron B
