Now there is a possibility....imagine what a powerhouse that combo would be. Would the regulators allow it?? Maybe we should ask Capt. Kirk what his mother's best friend heard in the bathroom stall on this issue??

>Is ASND a good buy for CISCO? Comments, please!< That will never happen unless CSCO purely wanted market share. CSCO has products that overlap the entire ASND product space. Stratacom competes with Cascade and the AS5200 competes with the MAX. Other Cisco products will scale to meet other ASND products. I do not believe we will ever see CSCO buy ASND. They want to bury them instead. Hal
