<<<I believe the Cascade deal may have contributed to the slide>>> Probably, but conversely, Cascade may also contribute to ASND's rise: "The Frame Relay Market" from (J.P. Morgan - Equity Research) The latest Vertical Systems research projects that the carrier and ISP frame relay market will grow about 23% annually from 1996 through 2000, and recent projections from several other industry research groups project annual growth at nearly 30% annually. Ascend, via its Cascade aquisition, should remain the leader in the carrier and ISP frame relay market with a 24% share. Recently, Maverick posts that "CSCC is doing rather well leveraging ASND international channels and connections". I think its safe to say that the NTT deal was won in part due to Cascade frame relay, and that others will likely follow suit..........AT & T WorldNet, MCI, etc. Larry
