Not only is this drop technically supported, but it is Option manipulated.

Looking to get back into PAIR soon. I rode it up last summer, but sold in July. The underlying fundamentals and management are still very strong. I also don't understand why it is drifting down today, but it does often react strangely to news. However, I am confident in their small subscriber line of business, and the deal they have with Rockwell should benefit them tremendously down the road. I wouldn't be surprised to see this stock in the 24-26 range this summer (july-aug) if next quarters earnings don't miss expectations. Kevin

HEY INSTITUTIONS, HERE's SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW: Geography: Countries: China China, country in East Asia, south of Russia and Mongolia. It is the world's third-largest country by area and the largest by population. The capital of China is Beijing; the largest city is Shanghai. Including its more than 3400 offshore islands, China has a total land area of about 9,571,300 sq km (about 3,695,000 sq mi). This total does not include the Republic of China (Taiwan). Land and Resources China's six major geographic regions encompass a great diversity of landscapes, natural resources, climates, and plant and animal life. China also possesses an extremely wide array of mineral resources. Among the world's leaders in production of tin, antimony, and tungsten, the country claims to be second only to Saudi Arabia in oil reserves. Population China has a population (1994 estimate) of 1,190,431,106. Approximately 92 percent of the people are ethnic, or Han, Chinese, but the minority population of non-Han peoples is significant in that its members have settled over nearly 60 percent of China's area. More than 70 million people belong to 56 national minorities, distinguished from the Han Chinese by language or religion rather than by physical characteristics. More than one-fifth of the world's total population lives within China's borders. The Chinese have had a written language for more than 3000 years. Although there are more than a dozen major dialects, the official spoken language of the Chinese is Putongua (standard speech), sometimes known to Westerners as Mandarin. Education and Cultural Activity One of the most ambitious programs of the Communist Party has been the establishment of universal public education for such a large population. Primary and secondary schools now encompass 12 years of education. Since the mid-1970s the official attitude toward the arts has relaxed, prompting the reappearance of previously banned foreign literature and the rise of modernized popular music. However, the climate for cultural expression remains delicate. Economy Traditionally the economic mainstay of China, agriculture remains the most important sector of the national economy, supporting the vast majority of the population. In the early 1980s the government restructured the agricultural sector, dismantling the system of communes and production brigades put in place by the early Communist government. The Chinese textile industry is the largest in the world, and the country is the world's leading cotton producer. China maintains a valuable livestock population, and the fishing industry is important. The country has rich mineral resources, especially coal and petroleum. It is the world's largest producer of coal and natural graphite. The unit of currency is the yuan (8.71 yuan equal U.S.$1; 1994).

This is likely on here but just in case: Nortel Announces Integration Agreement With PairGain Technologies Business Wire - May 14, 1998 15:24 %PAIRGAIN-TECH %NORTEL PAIR %CALIFORNIA %GEORGIA %TELECOMMUNICATIONS %COMPUTERS %ELECTRONICS %COMED %PRODUCT %TRADESHOW V%BW P%BW ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1998--Nortel (Northern Telecom) and PairGain Technologies Inc. Thursday announced that an agreement has been signed to use PairGain's market-leading HDSL (High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) technology as a cost-effective, integrated feeder to Nortel's AccessNode Express platform. The integrated technology is available now -- enabling quick time-to-market and broader deployment for a wide variety of revenue-generating services via the AccessNode Express. The new AccessNode Express integrated HDSL feeder will be showcased at SUPERCOMM '98 in June. "The collaboration between Nortel and PairGain to provide an integrated HDSL solution will enable service providers to meet the bandwidth needs of even more customers and to accomplish this cost-effectively at very low line sizes," said Don Richmond, vice president and general manager, Access Networks, Nortel. HDSL allows data transmission at speeds up to 1.5 Mbps over standard copper twisted pair wires. Because HDSL delivers a T1 rate and does not need signal amplification or regeneration for distances up to 12,000 feet, it has become a very low-cost means to deploy T1 services. Integrated HDSL technology further benefits service providers via Nortel's new AccessNode Express 24L, a compact, 24-line, full-service remote. HDSL feeders can be used to cost-effectively satisfy even the smallest line size sites. "We are pleased to extend the reach of our HDSL technology to the many service providers deploying Nortel's AccessNode Express," said Howard Flagg, president, PairGain Technologies. "Low implementation and maintenance costs make HDSL ideal for low line size applications." Nortel's AccessNode Express, the first scaleable, combined voice and data product, cost-effectively extends AccessNode advanced voice and data services to small and medium serving areas -- delivering benefits such as service-adaptive access, flow-through provisioning, and remote inventory by means of Nortel's state-of-the-art OAM&P. AccessNode Express has enjoyed wide-spread market acceptance since deployment in November 1997 with more than 1,200 units in service to date. PairGain Technologies (Nasdaq:PAIR) is the world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of advanced xDSL (high-speed Digital Subscriber Line) communications systems. PairGain's products allow telephone companies, independent carriers, Internet service providers, and private network administrators to rapidly deploy high-speed data, video, and voice applications to end users over the existing infrastructure of copper telephone lines. PairGain's HiGain, PG-Plus(TM), PG-Flex(TM), Megabit Access and campus area network products are marketed under the trademark CopperOptics(R), indicating their ability to provide fiber optic quality transmission over the "last mile" in both public and private networks worldwide. Nortel works with customers in more than 150 countries and territories to design, build and integrate their communications products and advanced digital networks. Customers include public and private institutions; Internet service providers, local, long-distance, cellular mobile and PCS communications companies; cable television companies, and utilities. Nortel had 1997 revenues of US$15.5 billion and has approximately 73,000 employees worldwide.
