telephonics, I have been involved with ATM/100Base-TX/GE ethernet for some time now. ATM to the desktop has died, there are no arguments to that. Ethernet, in any form, is not going anywhere soon. And I do mean SOON!!!! ATM is a carrier based technology that will in no form feed the desktop, ie. the end user. It does have it's place on the backbone, but there are still not enough applications for ATM to proliferate. ATM fits iun the WAN very nicely, it will continue to be the king. MJB

telephonics, appreciate your insight here. who exactly directly competes with YURI? Are any of the big networking companies working on similar products? What do you think of fibre channel technology? While it has the Qos (layer 2) that GE so desperately needs, i think it will have too hard of a time going against the big GE boys in the network in the immediate future. However, on the storage side (the "other side" of the server) , fibre channel looks like it will take off beginning next year (with HP, CPQ -check recent press releases, DEC, SUNW, and others most likely releasing products). Thanks for any thoughts, pigboy
