<<Otherwise, maybe we should just move on to consider other possibilities. As Ejabat said, "Anything in this market is doable," so maybe IBM or WCOM or Disney or whomever is preparing to do something with ASND,>> How about Proctor and Gamble? Afterall networks are getting to be comodities <VBG> Seriously, one reason IBM could be interested is that ASND is positioning to be big in VPNs, VoIP/FR/ATM and also SNA connectivity (all info from News Only). These are areas that could affect IBM revenue flow in the future. It would make good sense strategically for IBM to want to be a player in how future data/voice moves in VPNs between remote corporate sites and mainframes.
