Tom: I would usually agree with this view. Here is the problem... Telechoice and Westell are indicating they need to make additional acquisitions in the ATM area. How does Westell acquire someone when their stock is ~$10/share? If Westell was trading at $30 today, would TI make the purchase of AMTX? Their stock price failed them on the AMTX purchase, will it fail them now on the ATM front?... until later. PS. It's in Westell's best interest support it's stock and we continue to head south.

[Bell Atlantic/NyNEX is still open, and this is a company to watch.] Yo, isn't Bell Atlantic already won? What else does this press release from last May mean if not (I grabbed this from Bell Atlantic's web page)? Bell Atlantic To Offer ADSL-Based Service Starting in Mid-1998 Company Selects DSC to Provide ADSL Equipment Software May 19, 1997 ARLINGTON, Va. - Bell Atlantic Network Services, Inc., today announced that it has chosen DSC Communications to supply equipment and software for the company's 1998 launch of a high-speed data communications service for consumers using a technology called Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). Bell Atlantic has already deployed DSC's Litespan-2000 digital loop carrier system in its network. Now, DSC will integrate ADSL technology with this system to deliver more advanced services to Bell Atlantic customers. blah blah blah... Under a four-year contract with Bell Atlantic* , DSC is working with Westell Technologies to make the Litespan 2000 ADSL-capable. In addition, DSC will provide Bell Atlantic with Westell's ADSL modems that will connect with customers' computers in offices and homes.
