Jason, I can't figure it out either. Perhaps others who follow Ascend more closely could comment.

<Is there any reason why ASND wasn't mentioned as an alternative of BAY for LU?> In the CNET article (post# 6535), Ascend is mentioned as a posible acquisition target of Alcatel: Ascend recently digested its merger with Cascade Communications and is only now reaping the benefits, with its stock on the rebound. Both Cabletron and Ascend could be acquisition targets for other providers, such as Alcatel Alsthom. Also, it is mentioned in an earlier Dow Jones article: As merger mania seizes the industry, a likely next target could be Ascend Communications Inc. (ASND), which might be attractive to Lucent or the combined Tellabs and Ciena, analysts said.
