<<This I believe is a further example of the dawning realization that the major growth area will be BANDWIDTH!!!>> Robert, You are right on. I'm in the telephone business, and we install a lot of 56K - ISDN, and modem lines. It's not enough anymore. We all want more. And more means speed. And speed needs bandwidth. It the x.DSL (40+ times a 28.8 modem) gets going by Christmas as planned by the BSOC's MSFT CPQ INTC AWRE, than that will be the shot in the arm to drive people to buy new pc's. It goes like this: * More bandwidth will bring new faster pc's which will bring the need for more bandwidth in the network itself which will drive companies like ASND to deliver new equipment. And so on, and so on. Joe
