At last someone who sees no sense in Nortel buying ASND, Far too much product overlap Magellan Versus CBX/GX/BSTDX, the 200 million aquisition of Aptis the TNT pretender, Micom Packet Voice v. Ascends voice platform. It's the Passport line of switches that compete directly with Ascend's coveted ATM switches. From the presentation I heard by a Nortel guy, it was obvious this is not an OEM from Fore. It is an in-house designed product clearly targeted at service providers. It has similar capabilities to the BSTX9000/CBX500/GX550 and uses label switching to map IP on to ATM VC's. bucky89
