When I was sitting at lunch with Michael, Bernie and Kristina, another person was speaking with some knowledge about WAN/LAN design primarily to Bernie. Bernie said that the FDDI connectors or concentrators could be eliminated by an expected new product intro later this year (late Q2, as I recall). The benefit discussed was one less box for the network manager to worry about, and a direct connection from the GBX550 to fiber. I am not a tech guy, but does that mean anything to your discussion about OC-48 or higher speed communications? Or maybe your or Scott could comment about what that means? Dennis
