[loafers and inverted rollercoasters] Hi Tom, Have been out of town on a little r&r and (purposely) not checking on news... interesting times... eh?... ba/fujitu...... " $500 million over its five-year life" ... a loto cash... and: ..."Specifically, the contracted products are the FLM 150 ADM (add/drop multiplexer), FLM 600 ADM, FLM 2400 ADM, and the FLASH(tm)-192..." the flm 150 was mentioned specifically in the orctf/fujitsu speedport announcement from last may: "FUJITSU DEBUTS SPEEDPORT DSL SOLUTION Company Unveils xDSL Internet & Data Services Strategy ...A carrier can easily implement DSL over the backbone, thanks to Fujitsu's FASTLANE LAN/ATM product family. Simply adding a FASTLANE 10Base-T Ethernet card set to a Fujitsu FACTR access platform or the widely deployed FLM-150 ADM SONET multiplexer provides a link to the DSL shelf for a quick service turn-up. The FASTLANE-DSL combination extends a LAN at 8 Mbps speed to a remote site or home office over the local loop..." fnc.fujitsu.com and hard to imagine that this won't lead to fujitsu/orctf xdsl as many pieces including speedport are engineered to work together with ever tighter integration with each successive generation...as you pointed out (from today's ba press release)... : ''Over the life of the contract, we also expect to be delivering next-generation products (next generation orctf/fujitsu includes onu) as Fujitsu develops them,'' Chase said. Paul Lacouture, chief technology and engineering officer of Bell Atlantic, said the telephone company looks forward to its long-term relationship with the equipment manufacturer. ''Fujitsu's products will help Bell Atlantic grow its network and make it even more reliable,'' Lacouture said. ''We will be well-positioned to meet the demands of customers' ever-increasing usage of our network for telephone calls, business data traffic, and Internet access.'' biz.yahoo.com think the game is a-foot with orctf... feel sort of like a recent ride on an "inverted" rollercoaster... that kind where you are hung from above... was sitting there with loafers on, my feet dangling in the air ... and realized that when we went through the loops was sure to lose them... so took the shoes off and sat on them... worked out just fine... think many may have underestimated fujitsu... (and orctf) believe ba is one of the top two local-access telephone companies in the US (gte is #3) best o luck s
