US West & Cisco Hi Mark, Cisco buying NetSpeed should expedite US West deployment. (Refer to old clipping below). But what good was Cisco's purchase of Telesend? That must have been a real dud! Later, sg U S WEST !NTERPRISE Networking Selects Cisco Dial Access Platforms SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 1997-- Remote Network Access Capacity Increased by over 200,000 Ports; Performance Bar Raised Cisco Systems, Inc. today announced another order for the company's dial access platforms. U S WEST !NTERPRISE Networking intends to deploy over 200,000 Cisco dial ports for its U S WEST.net consumer and business Internet and dial access services over the next five years. U S WEST !NTERPRISE will deploy Cisco AccessPath(TM) dial access systems, including the Cisco AS5200 and Cisco AS5300 universal access servers, throughout its 14-state region. The new platforms will expand U S WEST !NTERPRISE's capacity and will secure U S WEST.net's position as one of the nation's most advanced Internet, intranet and extranet solution providers. High Performance, Density and Management Uniquely Position AccessPath U S WEST !NTERPRISE selected the Cisco AccessPath dial access system for its high performance, port density and management capabilities. ''Cisco's carrier-class AccessPath is uniquely able to provide us with the level of performance and reliability our customers demand,'' said John Charters, vice president of Internet services and application development, U S WEST !NTERPRISE. ''With Cisco's high-performance platforms and comprehensive network management, we feel confident that we are offering our customers a premier service.
