Gary & Sector, Thanks for posting the H&Q. However, H&Q failed to mention one of ASND's trump cards, which is the next gen. of TNT supports not only higher port-density but also voice (IP telephony & Fax), video (Sahara's technology), and data. The multimedia capability will fuel a huge demand for TNT in 98 & 99 as ASND has a large install base of the MAX family. Normally, existing customers won't jump ship since they invested quite heavily in training, NW mgmt, configuration,..unless TNT is way behind in the price/performance curve. In NW, the cost of ownership can dwarf the initial equipment cost. I expect this to be announced in 9801.
