While eating lunch I heard Bob Pisani on CNBC talking with a Lehman
analyst about possible networking-telecom acquisitions. The analyst
cited Ascend, Fore and Bay as the most likely targets for acquistion.
That's what I call a power lunch.

I still believe, the key is Fore Systems to get any major orders
for Gigamux in the short term!

Here is an interesting deal that Fore Systems announced
today. The target is for end-end IP network. Does it mean
that Fore Systems could be using Osicom's Gigamux for the
bigger Fiber bandwidth? Let's hope so!
