Gosh Pete, this new song for every contract is getting quite challenging. To the tune of a mostly unknown Beatles song, Blackbird: (get out your albums)! Backlog growing in the dead of night! Soon your growing wings will learn to fly Fly and fly, You are only waiting for the moment to arrive! Back-log grow, Back-log grow, Into the light of the bottom line!

The switches go for somewhere between 30 and 50 grand. This is mitigated by several factors, the deal LCI got, the contents of the switches, and the exact number of switches. So an "educated guesstimate" on the order is: 1.2 million to 2 million. I think it might be a little more than that. We pay $70K for the Cascade 8000's, with a few Frame Relay interfaces and one ATM interface. We're only buying a few, so LCI is probably getting a volume discount over what we're paying. Bucky89
