steve-- [ASND gap up] hope springs eternal. it would be one of the few positions to make any real movement in the last couple of weeks. seamans? sounds like chemo. i dont think it will have a dramatic effect. it might also explain why he sounded so down on the CC. maybe the company has planned a positive release to reinforce the stock price. then again, maybe not. good luck to all, trey

SteveG: The ASND/LU rumor has surfaced again. If Lucent didn't purchase Livingston, I would go along with the rumor. Why would Lucent spend $650 million on Livingston and then spend another ~$6 billion on another RAS vendor. Granted ASND does have additional products, but Lucent didn't need to purchase Livingston if ASND/LU comes true. When a stock goes from $80 to ~$20, it's funny how many rumors are created. ASND is $20 for a number of good reasons: 1) The USRX/COMS merger... the #1 and #3 vendors in remote access merged. 2) The 56K silicon being late from ROK. 3) The knowledge that all the large equipment vendors, Lucent , Nortel, Alcatel are all getting into this business. 4) Cisco coming to the plate with it's RAS products recently. This is just my gut feeling on this issue... until later.
