Craig,

<<<Our apparent disagreement has more to do with our respective experience in the networking field than with any technical issues.>>>

I agree. That's why it makes our discussion so interesting.

<<<From your standpoint, I agree with you. I'm still baffled why there is any competition for Fibre Channel in the enterprise, since
FC makes so much sense. But when I see ClusterNet, VIA, HIPPI, ServerNet, and the other existing proprietary schemes continuing to maintain or increase market share, there has to be a reason.>>>

What do you think the reason is?

<<< (Fibre Channel SHOULD win this battle hands down. I think it is simply a matter of time.)>>>

At this time next year, if FC does not make the inroads like we are expecting, it could be still floundering for a long time to come.
I believe timing is crucial in this case.
