To all, Anecdotal info from Comnet: I visited the exhibits yesterday. I'm disappointed to report that, although NBase/MRV had a nice exhibit, their booth was on the first floor, with the small exhibits of very small vendors, rather than being on the second floor with the big boys. Sends the message that they are not playing in the big leagues. I spoke to one of their reps, who was very upbeat. When I asked him about the recent acquisition, he replied that this would bring a large and capable sales and service organization to MRV, which would be essential for going after larger orders. He was also optimistic (of course, sales-oriented folks always are optimistic) about the gigabit ethernet switch. He said that now that product is shipping, they will have increased credibility in the marketplace. Good investing, Len
