I'd buy some call Leaps tomorrow if ASND goes on sale.

Jan -- There's another silver lining. CrosssKeys, the network management systems spin-off from NN, just announced record earnings after the close. For nine months net earnings went from a loss of $0 .5M to a gain of $3.1M. Third Q versus same quarter a year ago, net earnings were up 215%. Look at the stats: crosskeys.com Their systems are geared to ATM (as well as legacy TDM) so I would imagine this bodes well for the entire sector. Actually, we already know ASND will have a good quarter. The fact that computer sales are down doesn't indicate anything for networkers other than they'd better hurry up and increase telco bandwidth so people will know what computers to buy. Later -- Pat
