Steve, I am sure you know that the technological superiority not always wins the competition. (Since I am not capable to judge the quality of those switches, I ll take your word on this subject). For instance in 1981 Motorola's 68000 microprocessor, selected by Apple computers was technologicaly superior to Intel's 8088, but Motorola is now out of Microprocessors business and Apple is in a lot of troubles. BTW I am hearing sometimes that CS is betting on synthesis of voice and data networks. Could you explain what this is about? How CS switches or software are different from CSCO or COMS switches in this regard?

Hi Steven:Whilst ferreting the Edgar DB, I came across a 13G filed by Putnam Trust a div of Bank of N.Y. I am not too familiar with STC forms.My reading of that was on 28/1/97, PT registered 7% of Shares of CS.J&H Marsh&McLennan were also involved. Perhaps some one familiar with 13G's could give us a better appreciation of that filing. If that is correct, perhaps PT (MASS) could be asked ( by anyone living in Boston)if they still holding CS & their outlook going forward.
