Less than 48 hours until the shareholders meeting. Ancor's stock price has steadily eroded from 7 to 5, starting the day after Easter, in commensuration with positive news linking us with IBM Global. In the past, this sort of decline has signaled 'bad news'. I'm at a loss as to why anyone would sell, after all this time, when things should be close to turning around. Even Ancor management sighted the second half of 98 for ramp up. Any thoughts or opinions on what has occurred over the last 5 weeks? P.S. KJ...Thanks for your response to the Layer 3 question.

KJ, I wonder what's the distance limit and speed of this ServerNet and how many nodes can be clustered together. The Morgan Keegan report shows a table comparing ServerNet to FC on the following variables: Speed [ Mbit/sec] ServerNet= 2,800 FC= 4,000 Distance Between Nodes [ meters ] ServerNet= 30 FC= 10,000 Max Nodes Supported SeverNet= 1 million FC= 16 million Guaranteed Full Bandwidth ServerNet= Yes FC= Yes Multiple Classes of Service ServerNet= No FC= Yes I/O Channel Capability ServerNet= Yes FC= Yes Networking Capability ServerNet= Yes FC= Yes Open Standards ServerNet= No FC= Yes Neil

Fibre channel even getting notice now in places like Ric Ford's "Mac in touch" web site : << A Compaq white paper discusses Fibre Channel, a technology that David Roady says is gaining momentum as a post-SCSI standard for the Intel world (see also our USB and FireWire report): "Disk makers and PC server heavyweights like Compaq and Dell are already full swing into Fibre Channel disk devices and they offer huge benefits in performance and versatility. Distance between devices is measured in hundreds of meters - not feet - disk arrays can be shared by several servers (as can tape backup devices, etc.) and the bandwidth is 100 MB/s." >> tm
