Actually the hub line (and switch) evolved initially from aquisitions. This would include Lighstream, and the current catalyst line (I can't remember the switch vendor at the moment). The firewall product line also evolved from initial purchases of entire companies. Some of the management products were influenced by acquistions as well. I knew I could be wrong there. Thank you for the correction<G> Glenn
