Just watched NBR and this guy Green specifically said he likes LSI - right now - among the other stocks he likes now are ASND, COMS, SGI and SEG. He thinks they will do quite well in the near term and are starting to move now - he said he would only buy when they start moving and they are now. Mang (long LSI)

NEO Networks Selects LSI Logic to Provide Custom ASICs for NEO's Revolutionary Stream-Switching Products Targeted at Large Corporate Backbones and ISPS Monday January 5, 10:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1998--NEO Networks, Inc., announced today that LSI Logic Corporation, the world's leader in system-on-a-chip design, will provide NEO Networks with several custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for the StreamProcessor(TM) 2400, a routing product that forwards data as a stream for increased intelligence and performance. The chips provide key parts of the core data path logic in StreamProcessor products and contain over two million total gates, with the average ASIC containing more than 500,000 gates. The chips were implemented using LSI Logic's G10(TM) 0.25-micron (Leff) process technology and packaged in high-density ball grid array (BGA) packages. ''NEO Networks presented LSI Logic with a very unique development proposition that may change the way we measure both the intelligence and performance of network forwarding devices,'' said Jordan Plofsky, director of product marketing for LSI Logic's Communications Products Division. ''LSI Logic is in a strong position to leverage its core competencies to assist companies like NEO Networks in advancing the state of networking technology for Intranet and Internet applications.'' ''NEO Networks is delighted to be working with LSI Logic,'' said Hemant Trivedi, Chief Technology Officer for NEO Networks. ''LSI Logic was an obvious choice for NEO Networks given their state-of-the-art silicon technology and thorough understanding of our requirements. LSI Logic's leadership in packaging technology met our requirements for a project of this magnitude and their business model lets us bring product to market in a timely manor. The decision to work with LSI Logic is proving to be beneficial to our productization efforts.'' NEO Networks' StreamProcessor 2400 is based on a revolutionary massively-parallel architecture that provides extreme routing intelligence by viewing data as a stream. The StreamProcessor removes layer-based forwarding boundaries by providing advanced data manipulation and characterization to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation, Internet technology-intensive applications. The Stream Processor's intelligence allows network designers to deploy networks that can dynamically respond to changing requirements for bandwidth, security, and QoS/CoS, providing a solid foundation for corporate backbone and Internet service provider networks. A fully configured StreamProcessor 2400 includes a 512 Gigabit forwarding fabric and over 1000 RISC processors. In a standard configuration the StreamProcessor 2400 can support up to 128 Gigabit Ethernet connections or 64 OC-48 SONET/SDH connections. With the StreamProcessor, routing, switching, and bridging all become ''rules'' to be applied to the data stream. Since the StreamProcessor is based completely on standards and known interfaces, existing investments are protected. About NEO Networks, Inc. NEO Networks, Inc. is a privately held company founded in May of 1996 to deliver the next revolution of network forwarding technology. NEO Networks' StreamProcessor products are based on a massively-parallel architecture utilizing several state-of-the-art Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that process data as a stream, advancing network intelligence and performance beyond traditional router and switch products. The StreamProcessor's unique re-programmable architecture provides advanced data manipulation at all data layers including routing, switching, bridging and customer defined ''rules'' at multi-gigabit rates over copper and fiber (SONET/SDH) media. The StreamProcessor is based completely on industry standards and de facto interfaces, simplifying deployment while retaining investments made in training and existing equipment.
